For the first time in history, a late-night talk show will air after the Super Bowl.

CBS will air a special live episode of _The Late Show with Stephen Colbert_ after the biggest TV event of the year.

On Sunday, Feb. 7, CBS will cover Super Bowl 50 from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, then Colbert will get what will almost certainly be the biggest audience of his career in a _Late Show_episode from the Ed Sullivan Theater. This will also represent the first time a live entertainment series has immediately followed the big game.

After Colbert, CBS will throw to local news, and then will have a special Super Bowl Sunday edition of _The Late Late Show With James Corden_.

“It’s been a very big year in late night at CBS,” said Glenn Geller, president, CBS Entertainment. “We’re extremely proud of our two new late-night franchises, and we’re thrilled to give Stephen and James this big Super Bowl Sunday showcase.”

Colbert and Corden both took over their respective shows earlier this year. Colbert, who previously host Comedy Central’s _The Colbert Report_, has averaged 3.3 million viewers since starting in September, up 20 percent from the same period last year during David Letterman’s final lap as the show’s host. Colbert is also up 60 percent in adults 18–49\. Corden, a relative newcomer to U.S. audiences, has averaged 1.3 million viewers since debuting in March.
