The Late Show With Stephen Colbert starts tonight, but if you’ve abandoned cable TV like everyone else (Right? Friends?), you might have been concerned that you’d have to wait for tomorrow for your Colbert fix. Worry not! You and I are in the same boat, and I (and CBS, actually) have your back.

CBS All Access, CBS’s own online streaming platform, is offering a week-long free trial for the Late Show‘s first week, which means you’ll be able to catch Stephen Colbert’s debut as his (mostly) real self live! Tonight, we will be a Colbert nation.
