Tonight (Feb. 18), the LATE SHOW welcomes U.S. Olympic gold medalist Sage Kotsenburg. On Feb. 8, Kotsenburg became the first gold medalist of the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi when he won the top medal in Men's Slopestyle snowboarding competition, which made its event debut at these Olympic games.

The U.S. Men's Ski Slopestyle medal trio of Joss Christensen (gold), Gus Kenworthy (silver) and Nick Goepper (bronze) talk about their trifecta when they visit the LATE SHOW Thursday, Feb. 20. On Feb. 13, Christensen, Kenworthy and Goepper dominated the medal podium for the U.S. in the event, which made its debut at the Sochi games.
