" On Stephen Colbert&amp;#039;s second-ever night hosting The Late Show, he told the audience that his first episode\u00A0almost didn&amp;#039;t\u00A0happen. Segments ran long, the editors had to scramble to cut the show down to time, the CBS computers started crashing, and, as Colbert explained, &amp;quot;As the oxygen drained my brain, and my organs started shutting down, I thought: If we actually make it to air it would make an interesting story. And if we don&amp;#039;t, it&amp;#039;ll still be an interesting story at theater camp I&amp;#039;ll be running in Idaho.&amp;quot; Celebrating his 100th episode this week, Colbert shared some behind-the-scenes footage of his first Late Show\u00A0episode. The tension is palpable. Always one to thrive under pressure, Colbert is light and\u00A0friendly, doling\u00A0out high fives to the entire team like a total hero. Glad you made it through that first one, Colbert. Here&amp;#039;s to the next 100.        "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
