Sometimes Stephen Colbert's
Late Show scratches a very specific, usually slightly nerdy itch, be it Lord or the Rings lore or ... well, mostly Lord of the Rings. But for fans of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton, monetary policy, Wikipedia, fact-checking, and former Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen — President-elect Joe Biden's pick to run the Treasury Department — Colbert hit it out of the park in the cold open to Wednesday's show.
And Colbert even roped in a star for his new musical, probably.
