Red, White, & Greenland | Colbert Classic

Stephen Colbert partnered with the USO for a trip to the top of the world to meet the heroic women and men of the newest branch of America’s military, the Space Force. Listen to Stephen’s conversation with the highest ranking member of the Space Force, Chief Master Sgt. Roger A. Towberman, then get a behind-the-scenes tour of Thule Air Base, including secret areas we can’t show on camera, and a chilling demonstration of how the Space Force will respond if an enemy nation launches intercontinental ballistic missiles at the United States. Next, country music star and Navy vet Sturgill Simpson shows up to perform some new lyrics for the Space Force anthem! And Stephen answers candid questions from the brave men and women of America’s Space Force. Special thanks to The USO, Sturgill Simpson and all the members of the Space Force for inviting Stephen Colbert on this unforgettable journey! Original Air Date: December 6th, 2022.
