Stephen Colbert opened Tuesday’s live edition of The Late Show by expressing sheer exhaustion after watching the first presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden. “I come to you tonight, ladies and gentlemen, an empty vessel, a man with a mind wiped clean,” Colbert said. “I have stood in the swirling

Yet if Glover has worked from the inside out – pursuing a disruptive agenda from within – Coel has been employing a different set of tactics: refusing to accept the industry’s prejudice as business as normal. If Glover’s agent of change was a Trojan horse, then Coel’s has been a grenade. To excel (and to

Oregon firefighters have a tiny but powerful Force on their side in their fight against wildfires, thanks to a five-year-old boy who sent them his Baby Yoda doll.
