“I have a fond memory of us pulling up to Newark Airport to travel, and you would nearly go into a trance listening to this entire Shuggie Otis album titled Inspiration Information”, Michelle Williams shared. All the interviews he’s given about “Late Show” thus far suggest he’s going to try to keep the freak flag flying. I like intellectuals, writers, people in sports.

On religion: “I am a Catholic. Maybe you can win a chance to ask yourself a question”.

Meanwhile Jay Z has some ongoing legal issues which made headlines this week when it was revealed he has asked that a jury not be privy to his criminal record or wealth.

This is where the real Amy Schumer comes in (finally). She opted for Jodi Benson’s “Part Of Your World”, from The Little Mermaid soundtrack, saying “Mommy you sung this to me all the time”.

It’s not really about promotion-I don’t really understand the idea of promotion, talking to a camera for more money. While an “impromptu” musical duet of My Fair Lady’s “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” between Colbert and Benanti was certainly planned, the bit had a lighthearted, joyful, and unrehearsed energy that one can only hope doesn’t dissipate as The Late Show gradually becomes a well-oiled machine. I’ll read the politics page on Reddit.
