"We’re not a political show, we’re a topical show, but if you do anything right now and pretend that it has nothing to do with Trump, you’re just wrong,” says Chris Licht, who’s helped right The Late Show after coming aboard last year. “So really, we’re a reflection of where society is, and if that wanes then we will adjust. We’re not on the air to be a Trump show, we’re on the air and we’re in the digital space to be entertaining and relevant and topical."
