From politics to celebrities, the first episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was jam-packed with the comedian’s hijinks. If you weren’t able to watch live, TIME has you covered. Here are some of the must-see clips from the show’s premiere.
In one segment Colbert showed off the new and improved Ed Sullivan Theater where he hosts the show. Among the new features are faux stain glass windows with Colbert’s face. (Colbert also had an amusing chat with competitor Jimmy Fallon).
He also got former Florida Governor and presidential candidate Jeb Bush to say something positive about President Barack Obama.
Bush also made light of his opponent billionaire Donald Trump.
Finally, Colbert went all-in with his own set of Donald Trump jokes.
