OH YAASSSSS Colbert is baaack !

As expected, that was hilarious lol

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Did this all the time on the Report and he's using them to be funny. Don't see a problem.

1) No it isn't

2) If you ever watched Colbert he always did this on occasion. Even Stewart did it with Arby's and more frequently.

just because it's been done before doesn't mean it isn't completely overboard

 

[Kibbles]

Now I want Oreos. I passed on buying some earlier today, regretting it now

 

[vatstep]

Ramon Salazar?!

 

[LumpOfCole]

Report 2.0

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Trump got rekt.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

I think it's somewhat misleading that he's always gonna be doing as politically themed segments. Trump is a special target. I doubt he's gonna be attacking Republican tax policy. Though I'd like to be surprised

 

[TheAbsolution]

is every show going to be an hour or is t just for the premiere?

Every late night talk show is an hour.

 

[Jonm1010]

Alright I take back my long winded defense. He is hitting it off right off the bat.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Short memories? Colbert would do product placement all the time on the Colbert Report.

Last segment was amazing.

I'm not sure why folks are acting like it's something new..

 

[Hazmat]

He's won me over with the Trump/Oreo but. This is the Colbert I've missed.

 

[lednerg]

I want to dip some Oreo cookies in Sabra brand hummus.

 

[U2NUMB]

So far this is pretty damn good... does anyone know if CBS is on Hulu and did they used to put David's shows up there the next day?

[smokeymicpot]

Wasn't Jimmy his guy at the report?

Yes seems like he brought most of his staff along with him.

 

[Zubz]

I wonder if Trump is going to go off on Steven now?

We can only hope.

This is perfect for the coming election year!

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Ramon Salazar?!

That is Latin Jack Ryan to you!

 

[UraMallas]

Maaaan. He had a lot of pent up Trump bits since he went off the air before his run.

Loving it.

 

[Kud Dukan]

This is fantastic.

 

[zert]

The Oreo thing was great lol

 

[Secret Fawful]

That segment killed me. I haven't truly laughed out loud at late night in years. Cracked a smile, sure. Chuckled, yes. Belly laughed? Not until tonight.

 

[PezDispenser]

Lets not put all our eggs in the opening episodes basket. The Colbert Report was the outlier of daily comedy shows in that it hit it out the park it's first episode. The Daily Show, The Late Show, John Oliver and pretty much any other nightly show takes time to hit its stride. And lets also remember that The Colbert persona slowly grew on the Daily Show before he took it solo.

Lets not Conan Colbert because of one show.

I meant in general not just exclusively these first interviews, but yea I agree; what did you mean by "Conan" him?

Trump segment felt very familiar which made me happy!

 

[Pepiope]

is every show going to be an hour or is t just for the premiere?

It's always a hour. This premiere is actually a hour and 10 minutes.

 

[zoozilla]

Man, Colbert just loves to eat on camera, doesn't he?

ftfy

 

[Toothless]

That was classic Colbert. Loving this.

 

[IronRinn]

Easing us in with basically The Colbert Report. Let's see what the back half is like.

Colbert isn't afraid of going overboard, he made his own Super-PAC on the Colbert Report.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I feel like I need a gif of Stephen pouring the cookies into his mouth.

 

[Sanjuro]

I wonder if Trump is going to go off on Steven now?

Trump is on Fallon Friday.

 

[kris.]

I can see myself religiously watching this every night until it inevitably ends. Yeah

 

[Neverfade]

Stuck at work for a bit longer.

Do these rerun anywhere/time?

 

[Raxus]

Yes seems like he brought most of his staff along with him.

All his staff went with him on the move. It was easy since he was already in NY.

 

[BigMastadon]

Colbert then Corden. This is gonna be a good one two punch for me.

I know others crap on Corden but I appreciate his style. He keeps it fresh enough and I like him interviewing all the guests at once.

 

[Afrodium]

I was worried about how Colbert would fit into the Late Night format, but it looks like he's just gonna do the same show with a couple of interviews at the end. I'm a-okay with that.

"Colbert is a loser, and I don't like losers. He's a loser"

but Colbert going overboard on Bud Light Lime was one of my favorite parts of the Report

 

[Shard]

All of a sudden this turn into Hee-Haw!

 

[smokeandmirrors]

that stage and set is still pretty mint, if not a little too blue.

 

[Mii]

This band sucks. The Roots destroy all competition.

 

[Doorman]

My one biggest criticism so far might be his combination of medium-blue suit with that strangely old-looking tie. There's something strangely hokey about it that I can't quite pin down.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

How big is his writing staff? That's a lot to write 5 nights a week

 

[HylianTom]

"Colbert is a loser, and I don't like losers. He's a loser"

I was gonna say.. if Trump wants to fight Colbert, I'm certain that in this instance, he's easily outclassed.

 

[RadarScope1]

Vintage Colbert, as others have said. Feels great! I've missed the man.

 

[-griffy-]

Kind of weird seeing him introduce a guest normally.

 

[Kid Ska]

That jingle on the Clooney intro was weird.

 

[Codeblue]

I'm not sure why folks are acting like it's something new..

Yeah. He use to pretend to like Budlight Lime like twice an episode on the Report.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

"Colbert is a loser, and I don't like losers. He's a loser"

Is that you, Mr Trump?

Yeah. He use to pretend to like Budlight Lime like twice an episode on the Report.

Yup..

Now that's an Oompa Loompa.
