Late Show With The Nose

Connecticut Public Radio | By Catie Talarski
Published September 11, 2015 at 12:29 PM EDT
CBS
Stephen Colbert

It was a rocky start to Stephen Colbert's Late Show debut. He admitted he went way over time, and barely got it on the air. But days later, his emotional interview with Vice President Joe Biden reminded us why we just love him so. 

This hour, we talk Colbert and the Victorian renaissance. A woman and her husband decided to live their lives as if they were 19th century Americans. How's that going?

And: to smile or not so smile. Donald Trump says he didn't mean any harm when he said of fellow GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?" And don't expect tennis star Serena Williams to smile if she doesn't want to smile. 

GUESTS: 
  • Carolyn Paine - Actress/Comedian, Dancer, and Founder of CONNetic Dance
  • James Hanley - Co-founder of Cinestudio at Trinity College
  • Theresa Cramer - Editor of E-Content Magazine, where she covers the world of digital media, and founding editor of The Cut
