So much crazy stuff has happened this election just in the past month that it seems crazy that the rest of it even happened. 

You probably even forgot that Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler starred in a faux documentary where they went along the election campaign trail as two “undecideds” and attempted to see what each campaign was about as well as prank the likes of Jeb Bush, Trump, Clinton, Rubio, Ben Carson, etc. Aasif Mandvi and Jena Friedman from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart are pushing them along the whole way in this crazy journey captured in Undecided: The Movie.

Along with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog’s election coverage, you might feel slightly less on edge leading up to November 8th with this doc. It’s available to stream now on Netflix.

Stephen Colbert Might Have Just Scored One of the Best Debuts in Late Night History

Last night, Stephen Colbert proved that he is a more than worthy successor to David Letterman’s desk at The Late Show.

Throughout the history of late night talk shows, the first episode is often characterized by awkwardness, confusion, and a sort of frantic energy that aims to just keep the ship together as it barely has embarked on what’s supposed to be a long, long voyage.

However, Stephen Colbert was not only groomed to be a late night talk show host, but with his time at The Colbert Report, had built all the muscles necessary to be a late night talk show host, in character or not.

It should come as no surprise that, Colbert had no stilted moments in his monologue and ran a tight ship right from the opening sequence to paying tribute to Letterman to touring the new and improved Ed Sullivan Theater to the closing credits of his debut night on The Late Show. It might sound obvious to say, but one definitely got the sense after watching the inaugural episode that Stephen has been doing this late night thing for awhile.

You can see that Colbert, even sans character, can still properly stick it to Trump.

While some might clamor for the more rambunctious, satirical Colbert of The Colbert Report to do the interviews of the likes of George Clooney and especially Jeb Bush, Stephen manages inject some trademark cleverness in conversation. Hopefully, he’ll play that up more down the line.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is still very much a very traditional late night talk show with a monologue, suit, band, desk pieces, guests, etc., but Colbert showed on his very first night, how this old format can still be done well in 2015. For that, Stephen should be marked down for one of the best late night debuts of all time.

On top of that, Colbert had a thoroughly interesting inclusion of Jimmy Fallon throughout the show that almost seemed like an olive branch between the two late night hosts on different networks. We’ll be curious to see if that makes a decidedly different route for this era of late night as compared to the debacles of the last one.

Whether you watched the premiere or not (odds are that you were on of the 6.5 million that did), we urge you to watch the entire premiere episode when you make a spare hour for yourself.

Watch Stephen Colbert, the new host of The Late Show, make sure that his house in order here.

Jeb Bush and Kendrick Lamar Will Also Be First Guests on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”

.@JebBush will be on #LSSC Sept. 8! My first GOP candidate! Luckily I do 200 shows a year, so I think I can fit them all.

In addition to George Clooney, Stephen Colbert will very likely get to show off the full range off what his era of The Late Show can and will do by also having GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush as well as one of his favorite rap artists, Kendrick Lamar, on the premiere episode. 

We’re sure you have Sept. 8th marked on one of your calendars, but you should just double mark it for what’s sure to be a pretty great inaugural episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
