Stephen Colbert enlists former presidential candidate Mitt Romney for his new "Late Show" promo. In the video, the comedian says while promoting his show, "I'll talk about the news, tell jokes and have fascinating conversations with celebrities, athletes, musicians and, of course, politicians."

As he walks past people representing the professions he mentions, he meets Romney and says, "Wow, you do a great Mitt Romney." Romney responds, "I am Mitt Romney." Colbert replies, "That's it. Stay in character," and Romney says he was told there would be pancakes.

In another video, Colbert says he's ready to begin his hosting duty and shows off his new book bag and Charlie Rose trapper keeper plastered with the face of his newsman "dreamboat." The other promo features him doing a card trick.
