    Jun 20 2025
    The president tried to halt observances of the Juneteenth holiday but Americans celebrated anyway, the FDA is scrapping guidelines on daily alcohol limits, we’re in for a very hot weekend across the country, and a special nuke-proof plane was spotted landing in Washington, D.C. as Trump contemplates bombing Iran. Legendary singer and songwriter Paul Simon sits for an extended, wide-ranging interview with Stephen Colbert that touches on the meaning behind the lyrics on his latest album, ‘Seven Psalms,’ and stories from his over 50-year career in music. Head to The Late Show's YouTube channel to watch Paul's performance!

  • Allison Williams | Will He Or War He?!
    Jun 19 2025
    President Trump is focused on redecorating the White House while the world waits to know if he will bomb Iran, Israel’s prime minister freaked out the president with a blood-soaked gift, and the MAGA world is being torn in half by a fight between war hawks like Ted Cruz and isolationists like Tucker Carlson. Should Americans have to put up with gangs of unaccountable ICE thugs roaming our streets doing whatever they want? And should Defense Secretary Hegseth be forced to answer whether he’s given the military orders to fire on American civilians? And “M3GAN 2.0” star Allison Williams treats Stephen to a peek inside her bizarre thought process as a young woman staring out her bedroom window at night. “M3GAN 2.0” hits theaters on June 27th.
