Mark Your Calendars, Heroes: We Have A Premiere Date For ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’

Set your DVRs, plan your viewing parties, and start getting excited: CBS has officially announced that Late Show With Stephen Colbert will premiere on Tuesday, September 8. Dave Itzkof of The New York Times broke the news on Twitter and included a comment from the incoming host:

Last month, David Letterman announced that his final show will be Wednesday, May 20, which means there will be a three-month gap in between new shows. That would make May through September the last trimester for Colbert’s show-baby, so someone should tell Colbert that this is when the most growth takes place and he should look into some stretchy pants and a serious air conditioner.
