Stephen Colbert’s opening week of The Late Show features a killer lineup of Hollywood “It” stars like George Clooney, Amy Schumer and … Elon Musk?

Here’s the lineup so far: Sept. 8 will be Clooney and Jeb Bush; Sept. 9 will feature Scarlett Johansson and Musk; Sept. 10, Kalanick and Toby Keith; and Sept. 11, Schumer and Stephen King.
