It probably won’t make up for the wall-to-wall news coverage and the anxiety that you’ve been feeling for months now, but Colbert will be cursing on Showtime with Patton Oswalt, Larry Wilmore, Jeff Goldblum, Jena Friedman, and Nick Offerman as guests and both The Daily Show and @midnight will go on live tonight.

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah LIVE 8PM PST on Comedy Central
Stephen Colbert’s Live Election Night: Democracy’s Series Finale: Who’s Going to Clean Up This Sh*t? 8PM PST on Showtime
@midnight with Chris Hardwick LIVE 9PM PST
Desus & Mero Live Election Special 11PM PST on Viceland

Until then, you can enjoy The Chris Gethard Election Special on MNN or The Weather Channel’s Chill Marathon starting at noon. 

Stephen Colbert Will Cover Election Night Live on Showtime Instead of Late Show on CBS

Stephen Colbert Will Cover Election Night Live on Showtime Instead of Late Show on CBS

That’s right, Stephen Colbert will get to take a night to go from network to premium cable to cover election night live in November as the results come in. It’s an interesting move that might prove useful to building the reputation of The Late Show under Stephen Colbert as Stephen will probably get to flex his satirical muscles a little more, if not a lot, on Showtime.

You should definitely expect Stephen Colbert to make use of the fact that he’s on Showtime rather than CBS (i.e. letting expletives fly freely). 

It may just be an election year, but it does seem like Stephen is doing a lot of live episodes lately and benefitting from it.
