21, 2015, until September 7, 2015, the network aired reruns of police procedurals and scripted dramas in the Late Show slot beginning with The Mentalist (May 21–June 5) and continued throughout the summer with Hawaii Five-0 (June 8–12, July 27–31), CSI: Cyber (June 15–19, August 17–21), Elementary (June 22–26), Blue Bloods (June 29-July 5), The Good Wife (July 6–10, August 24–28), NCIS: Los Angeles (July 13–17), NCIS (July 20–24, September 7) Scorpion (August 3–7), NCIS: New Orleans (August 10–14) and Madam Secretary (August 31-September 4). The network dismissed concerns that it could hurt the ratings of The Late Late Show with James Corden, which follows the Late Show. In an interview with Vulture, Corden stated that he would not have been interested in having The Late Late Show temporarily moved up into the Late Show timeslot instead, explaining that "if it goes really well, then I’m just bummed in September. And if it goes terribly, then I’m the guy, 'Ah, well he can’t do it,' when in fact we’re only 25 shows in." These fears were not realized, as The Late Late Show received ratings consistent with what it had garnered previously, and Summer Showcase itself usually maintained Letterman's ratings share, even beating first-run episodes of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! in the ratings. Corden subsequently used the lead-ins as an opportunity to spoof companion aftershows such as Talking Dead, with cold open sketches such as Talking Mentalist and Talking Hawaii Five-0. Similarly, during the premiere of Colbert's Late Show, CBS CEO Leslie Moonves was shown operating a lever he could use to switch back to The Mentalist reruns if he was dissatisfied with the new program.
