King George V knows he must keep his country safe from the dangers of Nazi Germany, but when his eldest son Edward VIII abandons royal duty for love, the Crown is thrown into a deep crisis.

The end of World War II casts a long shadow over royal families, particularly those with links to fascism; in Britain, King George VI works to keep his brother's closeness to the Nazis away from the British people.
Breaking Tradition
Royals discover that breaking with tradition can get them in deep water, while other royals embrace change and manage to cling onto their crowns. During the 60s and 70s, royal culture meets celebrity culture, giving the Crown a popularity boost.
Rebel Princess
Queen Elizabeth has clung to power, but the royals' position is made all the more perilous as powerful anti-establishment voices in the press threaten to end the era of deference to royals.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
