CBS to Air ‘Late Show’ & ‘Late Late Show’ Post-Super Bowl 2016

That said, CBS did use the Super Bowl to lead into Survivor and Undercover Boss in previous years the network was airing the big game, so they are clearly unafraid to experiment with various types of programming.

CBS announced via press release that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air directly after the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 7, at approximately 10 p.m. EST (depending on if the game goes into overtime). And speaking to Stephen Colbert on Tuesday’s edition of The Late Show, Ansari continued the conversation with a few pointed barbs directed at Colbert, the CBS network, and the state of late-night television in general.

Is there any bigger ratings juggernaut than the post-Super Bowl time slot?

The stars of “Ash vs. Evil Dead”, Bruce Campbell and Lucy Lawless stopped by last night’s LATE SHOW and had a slight disagreement about who caused all the trouble with the Deadites.

CBS’ late-night fortunes have improved in the Colbert-Corden era as both shows are drawing a younger audience than their predecessors. The series finale of Colbert Report drew 2.5 million viewers, and an average of 6.07 million watched his first week as host of The Late Show.

Since THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT debuted on September 8, it has generated an immediate impact on ratings, pop culture and social media conversation. Online, THE LATE LATE SHOW has amassed more than 264 million views on its YouTube channel, which has grown to more than 1 million subscribers. He will do the show from the Ed Sullivan Theater in NY, his usual home.
