Colbert’s Public Access Return a ‘Game Changer’ for Struggling Station

Stephen Colbert’s post-Late Show return to Only in Monroe didn’t just give  Michelle Baumann and Kaye Lani Rae Rafko Wilson a memorable sendoff for their old set. It also gave Monroe Community Media a much-needed cash infusion.

WXYZ Detroit visited the Monroe, Michigan nonprofit Wednesday for a follow-up on Colbert’s surprise appearance, reporting that his visit has delivered a windfall for the public-access station between proceeds from The Late Show‘s Only in Monroe memorabilia auction, donated equipment from the show, a gift from CBS for the center’s high school summer program, and additional public donations from around the world since Colbert’s video dropped on YouTube.

“That is a major game changer,” Monroe Community Media creative director Genevieve Benson told WXYZ. Viewers may remember Benson for her unique onscreen chemistry with Colbert in the special itself. Asked whether her dialogue with the former Late Show host was planned or scripted, Benson said, “No, that was just good ol’ me interacting with Stephen.”

The auction alone has so far raised at least $10,341.70 across six Monroe-related items sold through The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s official eBay store. Those items included signed scripts from Colbert’s 2015 and 2026 Only in Monroe appearances, his coffee mug from the 2026 special, and autographed pieces of the show’s old set—the rest of which was destroyed in a dumpster fire during Colbert’s return visit. ✂️

Seth Meyers:

Jimmy Kimmel – I think I read that they taped a show last night, but won’t show it until tonight because the Knicks (?) were doing some sports ball thing.

Jimmy Fallon:

The Daily Show:

I really enjoyed the first cold open I put up the other day (episode 2’s – episode 1 doesn’t show up on their YouTube channel). Yesterday’s wasn’t nearly as good. I’ll give them a chance again.

SNL UK

I’ve only watched one of their Weekend Updates. It’s another case where they have room to grow, but it’s their first season series, so it may pay off to be patient.

I’ve never heard of her, but she’s an author being interviewed on The Daily Show, so she makes the cut.

Beth Stern interviewed by Michael Kosta:

And some late content that The Daily Show didn’t put up until after the Late Night Roundup published:

This content has not been previewed.  Watch it at your own risk.  I’ll reply in the comments if anything worthy comes up.

We’ll get straight to the point: The financial hardships that Daily Kos is facing this year are tough.

We continue to be paywall-free. We continue to be supported by our readers, not billionaires or corporations. But we need to bring in more revenue. We are leaning on our community more than ever to help make ends meet.

Power matters.
