Following news that George Clooney and Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush will be Stephen Colbert's first Late Show guests, CBS has revealed the comedian's first full week of visitors.

Among the first guests are Scarlett Johansson; SpaceX and Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk; Uber CEO Travis Kalanick; comedian Amy Schumer and country singer Toby Keith.

It's certainly an eclectic list compared to some other late-night rosters, but it's the latest evidence that Colbert intends to make his rendition of Late Show insightful as well as humorous, discussing politics and interviewing public figures alongside celebrities.

As we previously reported, Kendrick Lamar will be the first official musical guest, although his appearance will be on Wednesday, Sept. 9, with new Late Show bandleader John Batiste and special guests performing Colbert's inaugural episode on Sept. 8.

See the full list of guests below.
