In a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the host kicked off the night by introducing the talented band and hyping up the crowd. But the real excitement came when he announced the arrival of none other than the legendary Elton John, a true world treasure and UNESCO heritage site.

Colbert couldn’t contain his enthusiasm, speculating that Elton John probably smells heavenly, perhaps like lavender. The musical legend then treated the audience to a performance of his song “Never Too Late” from his upcoming album “Who Believes in Angels.” Colbert placed his bet on Elton John winning an Oscar for the song, calling it the “smart money” bet.

Moving on to other topics, Colbert humorously shared his experiences in the kitchen, describing his culinary adventures concocting an appetizing meatball stew. But sometimes, he admitted, he resorts to eating unconventional meals, like powdered Ramen seasoning sprinkled on a half-eaten burger patty.

Meanwhile, in the world of music, a Stratovarius guitar is set to become the world’s most expensive musical instrument at an upcoming auction. However, Colbert humorously pointed out that the true Holy Grail of musical instruments will always be the actual Holy Grail, referring to the biblical story of Jesus wetting his finger and rubbing the rim.

In other news, bonobos, a type of primate, have been found to possess a superior knowledge when they know something that we don’t. Colbert playfully referred to them as “dicks” for having that advantage over humans.

A surprising announcement came from Nestle, declaring that they will stop selling vegan KitKats. Colbert cheekily remarked that this news won’t affect his favorite flavor of KitKat, which happens to be beef. He couldn’t resist making a playful jab at vegans and their tough choice of embracing a plant-based diet.

Switching gears to Valentine’s Day, Colbert shared an amusing press release from buildabear, stating that their after-dark collection will feature cuddly cougars. He joked about the gift stating that it will make husbands say the words every woman longs to hear: “Honey, I’m humping a fake bear.”

But perhaps the most intriguing news came from Poland, where a billionaire plans to build a statue of the Virgin Mary taller than the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. Colbert humorously highlighted the irony of the wealthy often misunderstanding the core message of Jesus.

Science made an appearance as well, as “the happiest time of day” was officially determined. The findings revealed that people are happiest during weekend mornings and in the summer months, according to a publication in the New England Journal. Colbert couldn’t help but add a playful quip about the journal’s motto being “We’re a journal published in New England.”

Fashion news took a bizarre turn when a new trend emerged: Tiramisu inside a translucent purse. Colbert jokingly mentioned that he had to throw away his sunscreen while this person was allowed to bring a bucket of coffee-flavored goo through airport security.

In other updates, the beer company Kors Light announced the release of a new face roller. Colbert humorously noted that beer would be a welcome addition to the lineup. Lastly, a tiny frog called the spring peeper is in the running to become Maine’s next official state amphibian, beating out their second choice, the Autumn perverts.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert always delivers an entertaining mix of news, opinions, and playful banter, making it must-watch late-night television for anyone seeking a good laugh.
