Late-night talk show

Late night talk show host David Letterman is returning to television next week with an interview of former US president Barack Obama, streaming giant Netflix announced on Jan. 5. 

A new era in American talk show comedy begins Sept. 8 when Stephen Colbert officially steps into the shoes of television legend David Letterman at the helm of "The Late Show." The man who shot to prominence on Comedy Central with an ultra-conservative alter-ego on "The Colbert Report" moves to CBS and a world of late night vastly different from the golden years of Letterman.
