Stephen Colbert finally found his groove as host of CBS’s Late Show with his run of live episodes airing after the Democratic and Republican conventions. So it’s only natural that he’s pushing for more live, post-politics TV – he’s going live again after two of the upcoming presidential debates and the vice-presidential debate on Monday, September 26, Tuesday, October 4, and Wednesday, October 19.
