Jeb Bush will be one of Stephen Colbert’s first guests when he debuts his _Late Show_ on Sept. 8\. [He’ll join the previously announced George Clooney](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/07/stephen-colbert-first-late-show-guest), which might make for an interesting evening given Clooney is an outspoken Democrat and Bush was one of the whopping 17 candidates who appeared on [Thursday’s GOP debate](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/07/gop-debate-ratings) for one of many chances to prove their worthiness as the Republican nominee for president. Colbert made the announcement on Twitter, joking about the bloated roster of GOP hopefuls: “Luckily I do 200 shows a year, so I think I can fit them all.” <https://twitter.com/StephenAtHome/status/631057638139252736> _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/11/stephen-colbert-jeb-bush-late-show-premiere) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com)
