After making his name as the best character actor ever, Stephen Colbert is finally set to take the seat on one of America's most beloved late-night talk shows.

Inheriting the reins from David Letterman, Colbert will be hosting The Late Show from 8 September. But not before he gets rid of that grizzly beard he grew during his time offscreen...

He takes us through several phases of his shaving process, firstly giving himself a "reverse hitler", then goes Amish and finally gives himself a "half Wolverine". But eventually Colbert goes for the classic clean-shaven look he's always been famous for.

After auctioning off a portrait of himself for $26,000, Colbert went on his show and announced that Jimmy Fallon had agreed to match those funds. Only problem was, he never told Jimmy he was going to do that. As Fallon explained in an interview with our own Arianna, "Literally he did not call me or ask me or consult with me and see if I would ever match $26,000 to a charity." We guess Colbert just KNEW his BFF for six months would come through.
