CBS’ “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” will broadcast live following President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, January 30, and in doing so, becomes the latest of TV’s late-night programs to signal it plans to make hay off of the annual – and much scrutinized – political event.

Guests on the broadcast will include Tommy Vietor, Jon Favreau and Jon Lovett, the hosts of the podcast “Pod Save America,” as well as and Jessica Williams and Phoebe Robinson of 2 Dope Queens. Chris Stapleton will be the night’s musical guest. “Late Show” has not broadcast live since President Trump addressed a joint session of Congress nearly a year ago on February 28, 2017.

Both “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” and “The Opposition with Jordan Klepper” will air live episodes after Trump’s speech as well, marking the first time Klepper’s program has tested the format.
