Wait, what? That made my day.
To be fair, it took several tries with your mom to get past first base. Turns out, she's a really classy lady. Mine was all up on it from the get go, so don't feel bad. (I blame the Alzheimer's.)

As an European, is there a way for me to watch this show legally? VODs for example, like there used to be full episodes for Colbert Show on Comedy Central. I can't seem to find info on site, and we don't get CBS from TV here where I live.
CBS is weird with their VOD stuff compared to the other big networks in the US. I don't think Letterman's show was ever available VOD, but who knows what they'll do with Colbert's.

CBS has the videos for The Late Late Show with James Corden up there. I would be incredibly surprised if Colbert's aren't also up online going forward.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Yeah, the significant difference now is that the Late Show (and the Late Late Show) are owned by CBS and license the names from David Letterman's World Wide Pants.
Letterman owns the rights to all his shows so it would be up to him to put them up for streaming, or, potentially do what Johnny Carson's estate has done with episodes of the Tonight Show and license them for reruns on a retro TV channel.
The show will definitely be up on the internet and on demand.
Which good shows ended? Letterman? He wasn't good for years.
I think Corden is really solid. I enjoy watching his show. Easily the best title song of any talk show going right now.

Anyone know how to watch the east coast feed for this? I'm on Comcast and I know they have live tv streaming for certain channels, maybe a way to switch to est? Always a bummer missing out on east coast gaf broadcasts, especially for something like this.

You could get CBS all Access I guess for the first week. They offer a 7 day trial.

Thx I'll give it a try!
edit: Doesn't appear I can change time zone, it forces to use location, bummer.

I honestly can't wait to see him out of his O'Reilly persona.

Craig Ferguson's interviews were still God tier even though he was on autopilot for years
I'm really looking forward to this. Like one of the articles said, this show will finally conclude all the big changes that have been occurring. It's remarkable how things were the same for so long, and then all of a sudden all these changes started happening that today's lineup of talk shows are indistinguishable to what we had before. They're mostly new and trying to modernize and innovate the traditional way of doing a basic talk show.
I'm looking forward to the rivalries, because as friendly as they are with each other, it's going to be interesting seeing Fallon and Colbert fighting for the spotlight.

They all look worse than usual in that video. Whoever was in charge of makeup and/or lighting did them no favor.

well he is now the most senior Late Night host due to Letterman retiring.
Followed by Stephen Colbert!

Well Stewart is older than Conan and continued for awhile after Letterman's retirement. But Stewart, Conan and Colbert were all born within a year of each other anyway.

Finally excited for late night again. Fallon was decent the first year but then he just started following the same old routine. Doing dumb expressions in his monologue, followed by doing stupid voices with Higgins for 10 minutes, then hey guys this is the book I wrote Dada see its got a pig,sheep,and dog that all say Dada, next were gonna play a drinking game because were so cool.
Kimmel looks like he's just there for a paycheck. Conan really lost his luster. Seth Meyers sucks and James Cordin is just damn annoying.
Good to have you back Colbert.

i wasn't specifically talking about age, i was talking about for how long they've had a show. Conan started hosting Late Night in 1993, before any of the other current hosts had a show. but yeah, I guess age would make more sense in the context of what i said, haha.
Jimmy Kimmel had his show before Colbert Report started
Oh yeah, Ferguson. I never got into him because I thought the show tried way to hard to be quirky. But his interviews were great.
Leno, Letterman, Stewart, Colbert Report. Letterman's interviews were still top notch when he had interesting people on. I don't care for Corden but his title song is fantastic.
I was referring to their ages.
He has the only program that feels like a train wreck for me. Absolutely adore Reggie Watts. Between Corden's lack of wit and his Bud-Light bar on set, just feels like he hasn't found his niche.
Leno was ass. I think Letterman is a cool guy away from the show based on other appearances I've seen of his, but he should've retired 5 years ago, that show was so tired. If he didn't like the person he was interviewing, which was like 90% of the time, the interviews were painfully boring. Stewart was a huge loss. Colbert had a minor layoff and we knew he'd be back in months.
Hell his monologue were great too. You could feel him not giving a shit and educating the audience instead about English monarchies or whatever passed his fancy. Probably the only late night host I will miss terribly.
Colbert, if the preshow stuff is any indication, should do great and he has not miss a beat. His interview with Jeb! I have high expectations for however.

I anticipate the verbal sparring between Colbert and Trump eagerly. Can you imagine if he got him to come on? The internet would implode.

I actually think I liked Craig's show better in some ways once he went on autopilot. Some of the stuff he had early on felt like it was trying a little too hard, like the puppets. Always loved Craig, never much liked the puppets.
But once he settled into the Geoff/Secretariat routine it was smooth sailing. Everything worked. His interviews remained top notch as usual.
His late night show is the only one ive been interested in enough to watch consistently and regularly. I even got to go to a taping once. I miss his show and I'm hoping Colbert can fill this void.

Can't wait to see what Colbert has to offer. I tried giving Fallon and Kimmel a fair chance after Dave went off the air, but I just cant get into their shows at all. Fallon with his celebrity ass kissing and Kimmel constantly trying to make his unfunny security guard a thing.. it's all so very bad.

Gotcha. In that sense of the word Conan is definitely the most senior late night host, yes.
Which makes me feel old.

Um, what? You know that his Colbert Report persona is just that.

While I would vehemently disagree that Conan himself lost his luster (he routinely proves in his remote segments that he is the most naturally funny person on television), I have to say the show around him is not as good as it was during the Late Night days.
Lost Max, performers, writers. Budget simply isn't as much.
His staple now is his online presence and his remote segments.

The Comic-Con episodes were a great jolt of energy, I thought.

Yep. Plus being in the same building as SNL, having easy access to UCB performers, etc.
Late Night with Conan O'Brien was lightning in a bottle in many ways.
NYC Conan was the best.
He's bringing a lot of it to late nite especially with the type of guests that are on. No other host will be as politically diverse

Yeah, I can't imagine a "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" without political commentary. It's probably not going to be the main focus but it will likely be more present than any previous big network late night talkshow.
