George Clooney and Jeb Bush -- the previously announced guests for Stephen Colbert's very first Late Show -- may be a tough act to follow. But two tech CEOs will attempt to do that during the comedian's inaugural week on CBS.

The network revealed Monday that Colbert's first week will feature an Avenger, a beloved author, the current queen of comedy and a diverse slate of musical guests that run the gamut from country to hip-hop -- not to mention some tantalizingly unnamed "special guests." Here's the full lineup:

Tuesday, Sept. 8

Actor George Clooney; Republican Presidential candidate Jeb Bush; musical performance by Jon Batiste and Stay Human with special guests

Wednesday, Sept. 9

Actress Scarlett Johansson; SpaceX and Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk; interview with and musical performance by Kendrick Lamar

Thursday, Sept. 10

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick; musical performance by Toby Keith

Friday, Sept. 11

Comedian Amy Schumer; author Stephen King; interview with and musical performance by Troubled Waters
