Jacob Soboroff (Extended) Jan 31, 2026

Show notes

Jacob Soboroff, author and Senior Political and National Correspondent for MS NOW, has been on the ground covering Trump's violent immigration policy as put into practice by the likes of Greg Bovino and Tom Homan. His new book, "Firestorm," is both personal, as it chronicles his experience watching his childhood neighborhood burn down in last year's Los Angeles fires, and universal as it serves to warn the public that the fires of the future are here today.

Alexander Skarsgård | Italian ICE Jan 30, 2026

Show notes

The Boss dropped a fiery anti-ICE protest song, the people of Milan don’t want Trump’s DHS thugs to provide security at the Winter Olympics, the president’s latest MAGA fundraising email is bizarrely threatening, and no one wants to see the First Lady’s movie. Stephen surprises Emmy- and Golden Globe-winner Alexander Skarsgård with a special Late Show gift before deep-diving into the sexy world of Skarsgård’s latest film. “Pillion” is in select theaters February 6th and opens nationwide on February 20th.

Americans are expressing their anger about ICE in some unlikely corners of the internet, Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller are pointing fingers at each other as the administration does damage control over Alex Pretti’s murder, Rep. Ilhan Omar bravely fended off a bizarre attack at a speech in Minneapolis, and 40 million gallons of poo are washing into the Potomac River every day.

Sam Rockwell (Extended) | D.T. Phone Homan Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

President Trump tried to clean up the mess he made in Minnesota by moving Greg “Little Napoleon” Bovino out and lambasting Homeland Security head Kristi Noem, the president’s body and mind are in pretty rough shape, and the First Lady’s self-titled film is a box office stinker. It’s so cold in Georgia that ice-covered trees are exploding, America’s premiere weather-predicting mammal could lose his job to a hologram, and the world’s hottest viral toy is a stuffed horse from China. Stephen Colbert’s extended interview with Oscar-winner Sam Rockwell goes delightfully off the rails as the two talk about Rockwell’s early jobs in New York City, acting gigs on cop shows, and why time travel movies usually don’t work. Watch Sam Rockwell in the new film, “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die,” in theaters February 13th.
