You know Stephen is "the guy with the glasses who talks about politics," but the deep-cut lore of the Ed Sullivan Theater escapes you. You probably think "Stay Human" is just a suggestion for good behavior rather than a world-class jazz collective. - You are The Casual Viewer (Score: -): You’re a fan of the monologue and the big-name interviews. You definitely know who Jon Batiste is, and you’ve laughed at a "Meanwhile" transition or two. You understand the rhythm of the show, but you might not be able to recite the specific spelling of the "Questionert." You enjoy the show, but you aren't staying up for the 12:30 AM sign-off every single night. - You are The "First Row" Superfan (Score: -): You are a Late Show scholar. You know that the "Meanwhile" intro is a masterpiece of absurd animation and that Stephen’s love for Tolkien is bordering on a professional qualification. You’ve been there since the 2015 transition and likely miss the "Midnight Confession" booth when it goes on hiatus. You probably have a favorite "Rescue Dog Rescue" segment, and you can tell exactly when Stephen is genuinely breaking character from his own jokes.
