• Is Public Execution a Bad Idea? | Guilfoyle’s Guil-foibles | Georgia Election | No Nobel Trump
    Oct 13 2026

    This week we get into Trump’s not-quite Nobel, live-streamed firing squads, the handsome blandness of Jon Ossoff, and Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Guil-foibles™.


    Asher and Michael are joined by extremely special guests who also worked on The Late Show: fellow writer Jen (the Jeninator) Spyra and former executive producer Tom (the Bom) Purcell. Those are not their nicknames; no one has ever called them that.


    A podcast about news... with jokes! It's like if a late night writers meeting was, well, a podcast. Emmy-winning comedy writers, Eliana Kwartler, Michael Cruz Kayne, Asher Perlman, and Steve Waltien, from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert are your hosts.

  • The Possibly Illegal and the Definitely Stupid
    Oct 6 2026

    The gang’s all back for this one, and it’s a great episode. We discuss Trump’s stance on AI and his taxpayer-funded campaign-style videos, Ken Paxton’s flagging campaign in Texas, and US Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) showing his full ass in last week’s Jack Smith hearing.


    Also, for paid Substack subscribers, we do a special BONUS segment on Trump doxing his “friend,” US Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR).

  • We Wrote For The Late Show. Now We Do This.
    Sep 17 2026

    At the RNC midterm convention, Trump told voters they would “go to hell” if they didn’t vote. He also pledged to give each US adult $5,000 if the GOP wins. Then, he ended the convention in song. After reporting showed Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) sued and arrested patients over medical debt, Kansas booed him during a debate. An unprecedented number of renovation projects keep coming to Washington DC under Trump’s watch. Could AI kill us in the next decade? Trump doesn’t seem worried.
