The Colbert Report and the Late Show had a crossover this week.
Stephen Colbert said on The Colbert Report he needed to use the bathroom but couldn’t find the key. He said Letterman must still have it, so he rushed on across to the Ed Sullivan Theatre during a Late Show taping and found it.
Katie Couric also made a guest appearance.
The gag was used primarily to promote donations to the Red Cross for the recent natural disasters in the US.

The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien has been nominated at this year’s Emmy Awards.
The now defunct NBC show is nominated for “Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series” against The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, Saturday Night Live and Real Time With Bill Maher.
Conan tweeted “Congrats to my staff on 4 Emmy nominations. This bodes well for the future of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien”.
Jay Leno spoke about the nominations for The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien on his show this week, saying “the big show business news is that the Emmy nominations were announced today… the good news: The Tonight Show got four nominations! The bad news: I didn’t get one of them… remember there’s no ‘me’ in Emmy”.
Saturday Night Live is also nominated in the “Guest Actress in a Comedy Series” category for Betty White and Tina Fey’s appearances on the show.
Stephen Colbert hosted The Colbert Report this week, despite being sick.
Colbert hosted the show in a robe and “nana’s blanket” – he joked “she put up quite a fight when I took it”. He made it through the show but said “I have a fever and there is nothing left in my stomach”.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report both return to Comedy Central with brand new episodes tonight – the first new shows since the Christmas break. Both shows will now be broadcast in high definition for the first time.
Comedy Central’s US channel first went HD in early 2008 but The Daily Show and The Colbert Report stayed in SD. It’s taken a while for the shows to make the transition to HD because all the control rooms had to be updated. Broadcasting Cable says the upgrades we carried out “while continuing to put on a program four times a week”.
