CBS' long play to make Stephen Colbert the #1 voice in late night will continue well into the 2015-16 season. The network just handed its new Late Show host the best time slot of the TV year.
The network announced Wednesday that a special live episode of The Late Show will air right after its Feb. 7 telecast of Super Bowl 50. Generally, scripted series, most recently NBC's The Blacklist, tend to get the spot ? or, less often, reality shows such as Survivor, The Voice or Undercover Boss.
