Desi Lydic tackles how Kamala Harris and Donald Trump fared when they exited their media comfort zones this week, with Harris facing a testy Bret Baier of Fox News, and Trump getting way too many words in during his Univision town hall. Grace Kuhlenschmidt reports on the candidates entering the "lion's den" from... an actual lion's den. On Spirit Day, which raises awareness and fights against anti-LGBTQ bullying, Laverne Cox explains how the real bullies aren't in the schoolyard; they're on Capitol Hill. She unpacks the flood of anti-LGBTQ legislation passed by right-wing politicians, why these bills are harming Queer kids, and how Republicans are weaponizing transphobia in the 2024 election to distract from real problems. "On with Kara Swisher" & "Pivot" host Kara Swisher joins Desi Lydic to talk about big tech and her bestselling memoir, "Burn Book: A Tech Love Story." They discuss the tech bro transformation, how founders avoid accountability under the guise of free speech, and what's driving Elon Musk's bromance with Donald Trump.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015. 

Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!

In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
