Larry Wilmore Hijacks the ‘Late Show’
Thursday’s Late Show started with Larry Wilmore confidently walking onto the stage and announcing, “Welcome to the Late Show. I’m your host, Larry Wilmore.” (His Comedy Central series, the Nightly Show, was canceled on August 15.)
Wilmore then launched into a monologue, saying, “Did you guys see the big Trump speech last night? I haven’t seen that many angry white people since they canceled a Coldplay concert.”
That’s when Stephen Colbert walked in and stopped his friend midjoke to ask what he was doing there. Wilmore replied, “I thought whoever leaves Comedy Central at 11:30 just gets the Late Show.” Sadly, Wilmore didn’t get to continue hosting, but he did get to discuss the cancellation with Colbert, his former Daily Show colleague.
The Late Show airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on CBS.
