Stephen Colbert’s temporary Late Show marquee is one large pizza ad

Stephen Colbert didn’t just take David Letterman’s time slot — he also took Ed Sullivan Theater. The Late Show marquee, which has adorned the front of the theater for decades now, was taken down soon after Letterman vacated.

While we still don’t have an official Colbert replacement — the new show doesn’t premiere until September 8th — we do have Colbert’s face adorning a new temporary wrapper reminding people that, yes, Angelo’s Pizza is still open during renovations.

On the Colbert Stunt Scale, this rates about 0.3, with 1.0 being hosting public access and 0.5 being a webisode about shaving his beard.
