This Wednesday, Stephen Colbert’s desk is expected to have a distinct whiff of gunpowder and Renaissance paint. The Late Show is set to welcome actress Zoe Saldaña, gearing up for the second season of Paramount+’s Special Ops: Lioness, and documentarian Ken Burns, whose lens this time turns to Leonardo da Vinci.
Saldaña, known for her roles in everything from Avatar to Guardians of the Galaxy, will offer some insight into the second season of Lioness. Considering the first season’s blend of espionage and emotional turmoil, viewers can anticipate a discussion about the show’s intense world.
Meanwhile, Ken Burns’ appearance is tied to his new PBS documentary, Leonardo da Vinci, premiering November 18 and 19. This marks a departure for Burns, typically focused on American history, so it will be interesting to hear what drew him to the Italian master.
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert airs this Wednesday, November 13, at 11:35 PM ET/PT on CBS, or stream it later on Paramount+.
