There is a chance that you may have heard already that Stephen Colbert is going to be appearing in the Elsbeth season 3 premiere. Why not talk more about his exact role?

Well, there is so much art imitating life in this episode that it is hard to know where to start. Colbert is playing a talk-show host; meanwhile, his longtime friend Amy Sedaris has a guest spot and former late-night sidekick Andy Richter is playing the same sort of role in this story. Sure, there could be some important long-term stories in here (including a new police officer), but a good bit of this story could be about the headline-grabbing case.
