Roy Wood Jr. Comedy Special on Hulu; The Late Show Gets Post AFC Championship Game Airing
Hulu has debuted the trailer for the Original comedy special Roy Wood Jr.: Lonely Flowers. The special will premiere on Friday, January 17 and is the third Original special in Hulu's new stand-up comedy brand, Hularious. In this stand-up special, Roy Wood Jr. explores how lack of connection has sent society spiraling into a culture full of guns, rude employees, self-checkout lanes, and why some of us would rather be alone rather than be connected.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air its first-ever post AFC Championship Game episode, Sunday, Jan. 26 (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET; 10:35-11:37 PM, CT and MT; 8:35-9:37 PM, PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+, as CBS kicks off its 2025 winter premiere week. (Start time is approximate following local news.) The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will follow the series premiere of CBS' new medical mystery series, Watson, starring Morris Chestnut. Other CBS favorites return with new episodes throughout the week. Stephen Colbert's guests on this special postgame episode of The Late Show will be announced at a later date. The Late Show has broadcast four times following the Super Bowl on CBS, in 2016, 2019, 2021 and 2024.
