Is he going to measure the curtains?

Stephen Colbert — or will it be "Stephen Colbert"? — will stop by Late Show With David Letterman on Tuesday, April 22, CBS announced Tuesday. Though Colbert has been on many times before, it's the first time he'll be on since the network named the Colbert Report host as Letterman's successor last week.

Colbert has said he's dropping the pseudo-conservative persona he cultivated for years on The Colbert Report, so it seems most likely that he'll appear just as himself. Letterman hasn't announced the exact date of his retirement yet, though sources have told Mashable it's likely he'll step down sometime around October, before the beginning of the fall television season.

The Late Show airs at 11:35 p.m. ET.
