Stephen Colbert has added Republican Presidential Candidate Jeb Bush to join George Clooney as a debut episode guest on CBS’ Late Show.
Colbert tweeted out the following:
. will be on Sept. 8! My first GOP candidate! Luckily I do 200 shows a year, so I think I can fit them all.

In which Jeb Bush replied:
Only if you have at least two of us on each show. Looking forward to joining your first next month!
— Jeb Bush ()
Colbert announced at the CBS panel of the Television Critics Association Summer Tour that he would be offering more open discussion from all sides related to politics. This first step is a sign that he means business, although he really would love to take some whacks at Donald Trump and I am sure he will get a few of those in even with Bush’s presence on the show.
Late Show with Stephen Colbert will debut September 8th on CBS.
