A new “Star Wars” film is on the way and the merchandising has begun, President Trump rejected Iran’s latest offer to end the war, and beloved brands Ask Jeeves and Spirit Airlines are no more. Oscar-winning producer, writer and director Christopher Nolan sits for an EXTENDED conversation with Stephen Colbert about the upcoming film, “The Odyssey,” starring Matt Damon alongside Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson. And 19-time GRAMMY-winning Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Dave Grohl tells Stephen that all he wanted to do was disappear after Nirvana ended, but the universe sent him a sign that he should keep making music. Over three decades later, Grohl’s daughter is releasing her debut album and Foo Fighters are releasing their 12th.
