Stephen Colbert made a triumphant return to television yesterday, though it wasn't as the host of CBS's "Late Show." Colbert won't assume that post, which was held by the inimitable David Letterman for nearly 22 years, until Sept. 8. On July 1, Colbert returned to TV as the substitute host of "Only in Monroe," a cable access show broadcast from Monroe, Michigan.
Colbert's show was posted on the "Late Show" YoutTube Channel yesterday. In the episode, Colbert sits in for "Only in Monroe" regular hosts (whom he interviews), takes a shot of whiskey, and discusses the cresting of the River Raisin and his favorite Bob Seger songs with none other than Marshal Mathers (aka Eminem).
