Stephen Colbert's talk show hosting skills have been getting a little rusty since The Colbert Report ended in December. So the future Late Show host decided to take over Only in Monroe for the Monroe Public Access Cable Network in Monroe, Michigan.
Colbert's on-air rehearsal included watering fake plants, white wine, manicures with the show's regular hosts, paying off a local disgruntled Yelper and so many puns.
While in town, Colbert also checked out the local talent and interviewed a Michigan-born rapper named Marshall Mathers. (You may know him by his stage name: Eminem.) Colbert gives the up-and-comer some poorly-received advice about preparing for retirement, but the pair make a slick duo when they shared upcoming happenings around Monroe together.
