Colbert Welcomes Guest Dr. Anthony Fauci for his First Appearance on “A Late Show”

Stephen Colbert looks back at a year in quarantine with a special episode of A LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, Friday, March 12 (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network. The special Friday night episode of A LATE SHOW will mark the one-year anniversary of the production’s last show from the Ed Sullivan Theater, which found Colbert delivering his monologue and interviewing his guest Dr. Sanjay Gupta in an empty theater with only the show’s staff and crew in the audience.

Colbert will welcome Dr. Anthony Fauci, White House Chief Medical Advisor and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as his guest for the night. This will be Dr. Fauci’s first “Late Show” appearance.

A LATE SHOW has been producing episodes remotely since March 16, 2020, when Colbert became the first late-night host to return to the air and broadcast from home, delivering his monologue from his bathtub. Since then, the show has moved its remote production capabilities to South Carolina and back to the offices of the Ed Sullivan Theater building. To date, A LATE SHOW has produced 167 episodes remotely since leaving the theater, 13 of them live.

THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, a production of The Late Show Inc., airs weeknights (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Stephen Colbert, Chris Licht, Tom Purcell, and Jon Stewart are the executive producers.
