If you woke up this morning and thought, wow, I'd love to see Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert perform a ridiculously silly high-brow skit on The Late Show in which they give way too much exposition in a new theatrical drama, cramming the backstory into their dialogue while wearing period costumes, GOOD MORNING!

Behold, "Too Much Exposition Theatre," the most outlandish thing you'll watch today.
