Seeing you back is like a breath of fresh air!😊

“I’m your host Stephen Colbert.” After 5 months it feels good to hear those words again.

Oh man, it's so awesome to have Colbert and his crew back! I laughed, I cried (but only because I was laughing so hard). The bit about Lauren Bobert trying to start her date up like a lawnmower....god my face hurts from laughing so hard!

I can't properly express how much joy it brings me to have you back Stephen! You were terribly missed. I'm thrilled the strike ended in a way that satisfied the writers needs, but mostly I'm just grateful to have my favorite late show back.

Welcome back!! We’ve missed you, your band, your writers and your jokes!!! We’ve needed your humor to get us through!!!

Welcome back. I'm British so I get this in the morning. I forgot how much I needed a warm cup of Colbert in the morning. But well done for fighting the good fight with the strikes. Fully support you all.

We needed to have the raw news without the laughter to deal with our problems more directly. We were made to face the ugly truth on our own. It was good for us. And, it was terrible to not get a break from the chaos. It’s so good to see you again! Thank you writers for standing up for yourselves and thusly us as a nation as well. Demand your respect or strike again.

The segment on Boebert & the lawnmower absolutely KILLED me 😂🤣, along with Louis’ laughter.

Mad props to all the hosts for the solidarity with the writers! Thank you!!!

Have missed you so much Stephen! Especially every time there was an indictment of the previous guy. So glad your writers have received their due. They deserve it. You made me laugh again until tears ran down my cheeks. Thank you and everyone who works on the show.

It's SO good to see you and your crew back in action, man. I didn't realize just how much I've missed Eric Face, too!

Welcome back Stephen and a BIG shout out to the amazing writers!!! you have been sorely missed. ❤ from 🇦🇺

OMG this just made my night seeing Stephen back on my YT feed!!! I didn't realise just how much I'd missed these laughs!

Oh how we missed you, Stephen. I’m so happy that the writers are back and safe and being properly paid.

I cannot express just how much I have missed this show 🎉💖

I’ve been waiting 5 months to hear that intro. Congratulations 🎉 to the writers, crew, and sag aftra for showing labor’s power 🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉 you’ve no idea how deeply you’ve been missed.

Congratulations to all the writers out there. Who got their deserve pay. We were supporting you all through the last couple months and I'm happy you guys got what you deserve. Also, I'm just happy that the late show is back. Welcome back Stephen! Miss you so much. It's going to be amazing. Let's get it!

So glad the writers got their due and so glad you guys are back!

Omigosh, I've missed all of you sooo much! Congrats to all the writers! I'm so glad you supported them and they prevailed.

Life this summer just wasn't complete without Steven and his gang. Every night I sit back to laugh as he puts it all in perspective. SO so glad you're back!!

Welcome back, especially to the writers! 🎉 So glad they're safely in their joke holes on their own terms. 💚 Sending Love & Light from Mississippi. Y'all stay safe and keep taking care of each other. ✌🏼

I can't believe I survived so long without Stephen and his show. Welcome back!

So good to have Stephen back on TV. And even better to see studios paying their damn writers better!

WELCOME BACK ! This has been interminable, but I'm relieved to hear that you guys got what you wanted and we can return to your incredible monologues. And your timing is incredible, with Trump being buttraped in court and McCarthy staring at political oblivion.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert... Priceless laughs before bed! What a way to end my nights again! Thank you. I'm glad you're all back!!! ❤️

Extremely happy that the writers were finally able to get what they deserve and that elated that y’all are back and better than ever.

Seeing this makes me so happy! Both to see Stephen again (I've been so depressed without him to make the news funny) and to know that the WGA got a deal they felt happy with.

Writers, thank you for all your hard work. Stephen, glad to see you back!

OMG, that Eric impression never gets old. I'm on the floor right now. And the audience reaction didn't help matters. We missed you Stephen! XOXO

I love that your only comment about the ongoing fires in Canada is the one moment that affected you personally. Seriously though, welcome back! I'm happy the writers are back with the compensation that they deserve.

Yay!! so glad Stephen's back! I missed his quick witt so much. This catch-up show was hilarious! I haven't laughed this hard for quite a while. Great stress relief!

I love Stephens delivery of those amazing writers! It takes a village!!! I legit laughed until I choked during the lauren Bobert part and then choked to no air when I realized what he was doing with his fingers!!!!!

Welcome back! Stephen was the one, who supported the strike from day one. It's amazing to see him back! Missed his take on the news.

Wonderful to have you all back!

Welcome back Stephen Colbert LEGEND!!!!!!!!🇺🇸🇮🇪👍from an Irish viewer.

Never realized how important this daily dose of dad jokes was to my sanity. Welcome back Steve, congrats to the WGA on their hard-won victory!

Dad and family returned! Good for the writers So nice to see the late show back Have a lovely day Colbert fam❤

Gosh I’ve missed this wonderful outrageous humor!!!! 👏👏👏

It's so good to have these guys back; Colbert, Meyer, Kimmel etc. All that happened in last 5 months!? Seems longer but they make it a little more palatable with the jokes.

I was so lonely without you and your wonderful crew! I'm so glad you all are back! Never leave us again.

It feels so good to belly laugh this late at night and to know I can look forward to great writing, fantastic delivery, and fascinating guests. Welcome back, Stephen!!

This is just...SUCH a joy to watch!!! Welcome bac!!!!

It’s been a long and dry Summer without Stephen, Seth, and John Oliver! Welcome back my favorite political commentators!

Thank You for everyone involved for Stephen being back on air. He was very badly missed over here in Cologne. Love you guys!

I’m legit happy and relieved to have the late night comedians back to joke about the reality we’re living. It’s less stressful

Oh, how I missed you. You are the only late night show I watch. I'm happy it got resolved, and you guys got what you deserve. ❤🎉

STEPHEN, STEPHEN, STEPHEN!!! You were the only person I truly missed... YAY!! ❤❤❤❤❤
