The Ed Sullivan Theater marquee in New York City illuminates the night, advertising "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Originally built in 1927 as a vaudeville house, the theater has a storied history in broadcasting, most famously hosting "The Ed Sullivan Show" from 1955 to 1971. It later became the venue for "The Late Show with David Letterman" and continues its legacy of late-night television with the current "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
