How will Stephen Colbert greet the audience on his new Late Show? Will he refer to them as "nation," as he used to do as his conservative character on The Colbert Report? No, it seems Colbert has opted for a simpler opening line on CBS. According to the New York Times, as they talked about options for how he should address the audience at the top of a sketch, considering words like "citizens," "neighbors" and "friends," Colbert told staffers, "How about 'hi'? I like that." In the article, Colbert also joked about his plans for opening-night guest Jeb Bush, saying that he and the 2016 presidential candidate should do a cooking segment.
