Stephen Colbert Lands Post-Super Bowl Slot

Stephen Colbert has landed the coveted post-Super Bowl time
slot on CBS this winter.

The network said Wednesday that a special edition of
Colbert’s “Late Show” will air after the Feb. 7 game, the first time
that distinction has gone to a late-night show.

Late local news will follow Colbert, and then CBS will show
a special edition of James Corden’s “Late Late Show” afterward.

The post-Super Bowl slot annually is the most desired in
television, since it follows a telecast watched by more than 100 million
viewers. If just one-fifth of the people watching the game keep the TV on CBS
afterward, it will easily be the largest audience Colbert has faced.

Colbert began in September as David Letterman’s replacement
on the “Late Show.”
