The struggle to operate a late-night show from home is real.
But, as we learned fromStephen Colbert, it can also make for great TV.
What ensued was Colbert and his producers working in real time to solve the problem.
“It’s good that it’s not easy,” Colbert said with a smile.
“It adds another flavor.
It sprinkles a little salt on the show.”
What did Colbert do to keep his audience entertained?
He gave us a little tune: “Just Dropped In” from the late Kenny Rogers.
The actor first heard about the hoax while working on theEndgameplay at Londons Old Vic theater.
“The makeup artist said, ‘You’ve got coronavirus.’
And I said, ‘What?!'”
He’s since been in quarantine mode, going on 11 days at the time of his Colbert interview.
