Now that David Letterman has retired, Stephen Colbert is slowly starting to step into the spotlight  as he prepares for the launch of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Today, CBS officially kicked off its countdown to the Sept. 8 premiere by unveiling the show's official website and its Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Google+ accounts, along with the Colbr iOS app.

To celebrate the launch, Colbert also released a video he shot on April 30 showing him (slowly) shaving the beard he'd grown since leaving The Colbert Report in December.
