    STEPHEN COLBERT: Welcome to the Late Show. I'm your host, Stephen Colbert.

    AUDIENCE: Hurrah!

    STEPHEN COLBERT: A lot of big stories to talk about tonight but first I have a big announcement to make. After much thought and soul searching soul-searching I, Stephen Colbert, am banning Kanye West from the Ed Sullivan Theatre.

    AUDIENCE: Hooray! Yay!

    STEPHEN COLBERT: Have to! I have to!

    AUDIENCE: Hooray! [cheering continues for extended time]

    STEPHEN COLBERT: Line in the sand! In fact, as host of the Late Show my jurisdiction extends into the northern half of Times Square---

    AUDIENCE: Ha ha ha ha ha!

    STEPHEN COLBERT: and I am banning Kanye from coming north of Bubba Gum Shrimp

    AUDIENCE: Ha ha ha ha! Hooray!

    STEPHEN COLBERT: Okay, I HAVE to! Have to!

    [Guitarist plays a light jazzy lick to enhance the mood]

    STEPHEN COLBERT: Stay outa Times Square! He's been creepin' out the Elmos, and they've seen a LOT, already!

    AUDIENCE: Ha ha ha ha ha!

    STEPHEN COLBERT: And ---I just wanna take a moment here and just point out that this next part is the courageous part--- I'm also ending all of our high profile collabs, including but not restricted to our collection of spreadable jams....

    ad nauseam...
