Hey it's this guy! Liked his interview with Anthony Davis. Bet he's going to get a ratings boost following Colbert.

Jon Stewart got an executive producing credit. Wonder if it was just for this or what? I remember Robert Smigel telling a story about how Colbert gave him a credit on the early Report eps out of respect.
yep
yep
I agree he'd know beforehand, but I think it'd be at the start that way the interview would be all about it.

Nice to see Jon Stewart as an Executive Producer. Glad he'll still be (somewhat?) involved.

Solid show, but I'm really not feeling the band.

What does the executive producer do?
That was my one complaint. I kinda hope he slowly moves away from the standup routine. Stand up has never been his thing and it is kinda a waste of time for him to force it simply because of adherence to old norms.
To me they didn't seem hard as much as Jeb was awful and thus made it seem like the questions were hard.
Attack professional wrestlers.
Really great first show. Some bits flopped, but that'll happen when you're trying to fill a whole hour. Jeb interview was super promising. He wasn't so confrontational that Jeb would just clam up, but he didn't just let him give fluff answers and move on. It bodes really well. He should be able to actually get a variety of guests on and not scare people away while still giving meaningful interviews. I'm excited to see how he moves forward.

Pretty great first show I must say.

Agreed. I'd love 30 min of classic Colbert covering what's happening in the world the best way he knows how. Then the last 30 min the usual interviews, etc.

The sooner it dies, the better. The rest of the show was great.
What wasn't great was the commercials. I'd forgotten how many commercials network TV has... I think I'm going to get a lot of portable gaming done during future Colbert shows.
Probably one of the most solid premieres for a late night show in a while.
Still some kinks to work out like every show but the Colbert Report experience went to good use. Colbert just needs to iron out his interviews and the late night band needs to be better integrated in the show.

There are smarter conservatives. Rubio could handle him.
Colbert really is a natural for this stuff. I'd say Colbert Report started a bit stronger(hard to top "truthiness") but this is a whole other animal to tame. Insanely impressed how well he did.

Holy shit that felt really long for how much content there was. Everything was cool besides the monologue which he should just drop
He's only going to get better but man I don't think I have the patience to sit through that hour every night

I really enjoyed the first Late Show. Both interviews were good. I do feel like he interrupts the guests a bit much but honestly its refreshing to have a late night host that isn't kissing ass and laughing hysterically.
Colbert is back baby. Love it. I didn't realize Stewart was an EP. And since Stephen brought all of his staff with him I can see us getting a more subtle Colbert Report. We need to have this in late night.

I think I'm close to being sold on the show, but I'm no longer staying up late for this after having to sit through all those commercials. DVR it is. Welcome back Stephen and I'm looking forward to some Kdot tomorrow.

Damn I missed this. I'll have to catch it online.
Except for Colberts brother doing a silent fist pump off camera
Is this confirmed? It has been something I have been wondering for a while. If so, awesome!! Show is pretty much destined to succeed with me.

Says they'll have it for stream tomorrow.
For some reason everything involving his band made me cringe. It had a very day time talk show feel to it. I also wish he talked less during his interviews. That Bush interview was edited to hell to allot for timing. He needs to watch more tape of Dave. Ask a question and then be quiet.
On the plus side, everything else was good. He's a genuinely funny guy.
I've been a fan since Strangers with Candy. I hope we get more of that humor.

He's really bland, which is a shame since his slot is a place where you can be really fun and experimental. If Craig proved anything, it's that. His interview format is really cool and fun, but the rest is just blah.

I hope Corden is faking these addresses. That first chick was hot enough to get some crazy dude stalking her.

It had commercials in the same places as every other show in the format.

Surprised how many folks in here didn't like the band. It was kind of over the top but I don't expect them to get that funky every night.

Really. At least say something about the music itself.

I want to say I read in vanity fair or one of those entertainment mags that most if not all of his staff did move over with him. I can't be sure tho and I'm ready for bed so maybe someone else can link the article or confirm.
