    Watch: The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

    What will the “real” Stephen Colbert look like now that he’s no longer parodying a conservative pundit? That’s the question on everyone’s minds as we await his Late Show debut tonight. With George Clooney and presidential candidate Jeb Bush as his opening-night guests, we hope his piquant political sense of humor will remain intact.

    These Muppets are not the ones you grew up with. In this new mockumentary, Miss Piggy is now the host of a late-night show, while Kermit plays her executive producer and former boyfriend. He and Piggy recently announced their parting of ways on Twitter and the rest of the puppet cast are showrunners, writers, and staff. Think of this as 30 Rock meets The Office meets, of course, The Muppets.
