Jimmy Kimmel makes Stephen Colbert shave his beard during glorious late night return

Stephen Colbert returned to late night with an interview on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", during which he shaved his beard.

A man sits on a talk show couch shaving his beard, while the host looks on from his desk.

It's been a few months now since Stephen Colbert's finale Late Show episode, and he's used the summer since to 1. write a movie, and 2. grow a beard.

In his late night return interview above on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host talks to him about both those things — before suggesting he shave one of them off.

It's an entertaining 20-minute segment featuring anecdotes about a wedding Colbert and Kimmel attended (including a red wine spillage that occurred over Colbert's tan suit), and the former Late Show host being pulled over by a friendly officer in New Zealand for speeding (a conversation he recreates with the help of his own son John, who calls into the show to roleplay the incident).
