Stephen Colbert Tackles the Colbeard in First LATE SHOW Promo

Fans of Stephen Colbert haven't seen the comedian since he signed off from The Colbert Report in December, but Colbert changed that on Wednesday, returning to the Internet with the first promo for his tenure as host of Late Show on CBS.



Colbert has been away from his Stephen Colbert persona for half a year now, and this video should be a positive sign for anyone who worried that Colbert away from The Colbert Report wouldn't be funny. The late-night version of the comedian will be different from what we saw during his years on Comedy Central ... but he's still funny.

If Colbert's time as successor of David Letterman on Late Show on is like this promo, he's going to fit right in with rivals Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel. The new Late Show premieres on Sept. 8.
