The popularity of pickleball continues to grow, and CBS’s Stephen Colbert is hosting a “celebrity pickleball charity special” airing on the CBS broadcast network and Paramount+ tonight called “Pickled.” Colbert: “I’ve made a lot of cultural impacts over the years. I’ve been lucky enough to be on the cover of Rolling Stone and Time and Vanity Fair and Sports Illustrated. But I think I have peaked, ladies and gentleman, because I have just made the cover of the highest-profile magazine in the world, In Pickleball magazine. Full spread. You see the pickle and the balls” ( “The Late Show,” CBS, 11/16).
