Proud
Trump promised to make Americans proud again, so Ed joins the 15,000 working-class Americans heading to Saint-Jo, Texas, with their monster trucks and Confederate flags for the wild Rednecks with Paychecks festival - the ultimate celebration of Southern Pride.
Making America Safe Again?
Trump promised to be the president of law and order, and vowed to protect America's gun laws, so Ed heads to the state with the most gun murders in America, Louisiana, to find out if the president is delivering on his promise to make America safe again. Ed also travels to gun-toting Texas to find out why so many Americans are obsessed with their firearms. After a heated radio show debate with Texans who say they are willing to kill for their guns, Ed decides to make a visit to Parkland, Florida, where students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are campaigning for gun control after a 19-year-old armed with a semi-automatic assault rifle murdered 17 students and teachers just two weeks earlier.
Making America Wealthy Again?
Ed visits Mar-a-Largo in Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump can be found playing golf most weekends. Hosted by millionairess Toni, a close friend of the president's and founder of female Trump fan club The Trumpettes, Ed is put to work helping prepare for the Trumpette Ball, a huge, extravagant party Toni is throwing at Mar-a-Largo in her old friend's honour.

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.

His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
