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.

Grow baby? Please elaborate on what this means.
so letterman ends on a wed, colbert starts on a tues, since sept 7 is labor day. Maybe pick a normal week and start on monday like a normal person? idk, just odd.
