Something to Think about over Coffee Prozac
On Juneteenth, we celebrate our capacity to make real the promise of our founding, that thing inside each of us that says America is not yet finished, that compels all of us to fight for justice and equality until this country we love more closely aligns with our highest ideals.

Late Night Today
Late Night Today is for our readers who can’t stay awake to watch the shows. Everyone deserves a good laugh.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Wonder Woman may just switch sides.
New York and California announced the end of virtually all pandemic restrictions after both states achieved 70% vaccination, while businesses nationwide continue to drop performative sanitation measures like excessive disinfecting of surfaces
Meanwhile… Everyone’s favorite pre-pandemic segment is back! Let’s hope we never need another edition of Stephen Colbert’s “Meanwhile” sub-segment, “Quarantinewhile.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to show remorse for comparing mask mandates to the policies of Nazi Germany by visiting the Holocaust Museum, but her microphone is not convinced.
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah
The Girl Scouts have 15 million unsold boxes of cookies because of the pandemic, and the Tokyo Olympics wants athletes to wait to use their official Olympic condoms until they get home
Late Night with Seth Meyers
Late Night writers Matt Goldich and Sal Gentile interrupt Seth to provide new perspectives to the show.
Seth reminisces about a simpler – albeit recent – time when Jeff Bezos wasn’t going to space.
Jimmy Kimmel Live
California is open for business, the Dodgers hosted their first full capacity game and fans at Wrigley Field are back to creating “beer snakes,” Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene did something unusual and apologized for her Holocaust comments after a visit to the museum in Washington D.C., Melania was absent from Donald’s 75th birthday, Batman was trending after reports that a sex scene got axed from an upcoming season of “Harley Quinn,” and in honor of the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo we took to the street and asked people to give their thoughts on something that hasn’t even happened yet in a new “Lie Witness News.”
The Late Late Show with James Corden
As COVID-19 statistics improve thanks to vaccination efforts, Ariana Grande, Marissa Jaret Winokur and James Corden celebrate the end of mass lockdowns in this “Good Morning Baltimore” parody from “Hairspray.”
James kicks off the show some with tough questions for CBS Senior Vice President of Late Night Programming (West Coast) Nick Bernstein about why we’re all in masks and staying socially distant when the state of California has opened up and Stephen Colbert is now recording in front of a full studio audience. What gives, Nick?! And are we all excited for the Biden-Putin meeting?

I was no chief and never had been, but because I had been more deeply wronged than others, this honor was conferred upon me, and I resolved to prove worthy of the trust.

Late Night Today
Late Night Today is for our readers who can’t stay awake to watch the shows. Everyone deserves a good laugh.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
After 460 days of quarantine, broadcasting from a closet eight floors above the Ed Sullivan theater with its iconic ceiling, Stephen is back with a fully vaccinated live audience. Hurrah!!
After seeing this, you might want to break those pants out of your closet again.
Bask in the moment as Stephen Colbert, after 15 long months spent broadcasting from places like his bathtub, his spare bedroom, and a storage closet, kicks off a new era of The Late Show by bringing it back where it belongs: on stage at the Ed Sullivan Theater in front of a loud, rowdy and fully-vaccinated studio audience.
President Joe Biden, who bears an uncanny resemblance to our good friend Dana Carvey, joins Stephen via satellite from Europe where he is deep in preparation for this week’s face-to-face meeting with the Russian leader
We’re back in the Ed Sullivan Theater and it’s only right that Stephen’s first guest is none other than friend of the show, Jon Stewart. What did they talk about? The pandemic, obviously.
Jon Stewart, our first in-studio guest in over 15 months, expresses his great love for scientists, but includes a note of caution for a pandemic-weary world.
When Mike Pompeo claims on Fox News Sunday that “there was no administration tougher on Russia” than the Trump Administration, the impeccably trained Tooning Out The News Fact Check Squad springs into action.
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah
During the first leg of Joe Biden’s first international trip as President, Boris Johnson gives him an underwhelming gift, the Queen can’t cut a cake with a sword, the G7 is happy Trump is gone, and Biden preps for his meeting with Putin.
A man claims he was swallowed whole by a humpback whale, Novavax produces promising results on their COVID-19 vaccine, the Delta variant of the coronavirus could be the worst one yet, and Florida bans teaching critical race theory in schools.
Ronny Chieng investigates why Americans from both parties are locked in an addictive cycle of rage and retribution
Late Night with Seth Meyers
Seth takes a closer look at yet another bombshell scandal from the Trump era in which the former president’s Justice Department spied on Democratic lawmakers investigating him during the Russia probe.
Jimmy Kimmel Live
Jimmy’s sister-in-law Kelly had a baby girl! Donald Trump celebrated his 75th birthday with wishes from his son DJTJ and Rudy Giuliani, the Biden’s met with the Queen and attended the NATO Summit in Brussels, the annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog show took place over the weekend, and after MyPillow Mike Lindell got pranked by a bunch of people reserving fake tickets for his rally, Jimmy got in touch with him (James Adomian) to find out what really happened.
The Late Late Show with James Corden
We start the week with a bit of a stumble, as the power on Hagar’s amplifier goes out and James asks CBS Senior Vice President of Late Night Programming (West Coast) Nick Bernstein about his 2-hour podcast interview that failed to mention his current job. We’ll see what other shows besides ours he gets into in Part II…After, James breaks down President Joe Biden’s visit with Queen Elizabeth II which included an etiquette no-no.

We need time to defuse, to contemplate. Just as in sleep our brains relax and give us dreams, so at some time in the day we need to disconnect, reconnect, and look around us.
