About this episode

It can be tough to wind down after hosting The Late Show, so sometimes Stephen needs a bedtime story to help him fall asleep. We're thrilled to present this spoonful of sugar from the one and only Julie Andrews, who recited Stephen's favorite children's poem 'The King's Breakfast' by A. A. Milne; followed by two original works by authors Jonathan Franzen and George Saunders.

Julie Andrews originally aired October 22nd, 2019; Jonathan Franzen originally aired October 28th, 2015; and George Saunders originally aired December 8th, 2015.
