La concessione del telefono
Pippo Genuardi, born in Vigàta on 3 September 1856, is a wood merchant. But let's be clear: that is not his main occupation, on the contrary, we could say that his real talent is to get into trouble. Displeased, ironic, a lover of women and technology, Pippo seems to have put his head in place by marrying Taninè Schilirò, daughter of the richest man in Vigàta, but our protagonist is precisely a man who is never actually satisfied. And so, sending three letters to the Prefect Marascianno (a paranoid Neapolitan and conspiracy theorist), sets in motion a mechanism that will lead him to find himself under two cross fires: the State, which thinks it has to do with a dangerous subversive, and the a man of respect Don Lollò, who begins to believe that Genuardi is taking him for a fool. In fact, to obtain the coveted "telephone concession", Genuardi will be willing to do anything: seek the support of his father-in-law, but also of the mafia; bribe public officials and betray his old friend Sasa. All under the eyes of the Quaestor Monterchi, who came from the North, who will observe the insane chain of events with dismay and powerlessness.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
