Now that the appropriate mourning time has passed since David Letterman's Late Show retirement, Stephen Colbert can finally go "cognito" again.

The comedian, who died in mid-December -- just kidding, he just retired from his Comedy Central show -- is shaving off his amazing Colbeard to prepare for his Late Show takeover. He tried out a few looks, including the "un-Hitler," the "Amish" and the "Half-Wolverine" before settling on the "Classic Clean Colbert."

Colbert also debuted a shiny new website for his show, featuring some podcasts and exclusive behind-the-scenes pictures of total nonsense.

We'll miss you, Colbeard, but we sure are happy to have Stephen back -- kind of, since his first Late Show isn't until September 8.
