September 8, 2015 –
Stephen Colbert debuted as the new host of CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on this date. (It was a stretch but he felt that he was up to the challenger.)
The Ed Sullivan Theater (where the show is taped) underwent an extensive renovation during the time between David Letterman’s retirement and Stephen Colbert’s debut as host of the Late Show. In addition to the talk show set receiving an overhaul, several architectural features of the theater were restored. The theater’s ornate domed ceiling, which had been hidden behind air ducts and sound buffers, was uncovered, and the ornate stained-glass windows, which had been removed and placed in storage during the Letterman era, were re-installed.
