Colbert on Friday morning revealed via Twitter that the star of films including “Tomorrowland,” “Michael Clayton” and “Ocean’s Eleven” would be “my first-ever guest” when the new version of “Late Show” debuts on CBS September 8.

Colbert’s announcement came a day after one of his biggest supporters, Jon Stewart, made his last appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” Colbert appeared on that program Thursday night, offering a few minutes of effusive praise for Stewart.

Clooney will give Colbert some celebrity power as he faces a tough crew of competitors. Viewers will be watching to see how Colbert, best known for playing a bloviating character on “The Colbert Report,” will fare as himself against NBC’s Jimmy Fallon and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel.
