The camera/animation gags he has pulled off with the current format were brilliant, and I’m definitely gonna miss them. Plus the interaction with Evie and the crew felt more real and natural than with the studio audience

Love Steven for helping us get thru the pandemic and the years of the Fartus who just stunk things up and left.

"Love Steven for... helping us get through... the years of the Fartus..."😭🤣🥰

@@WarriorQueenUnicorn Countering the ignorance that fans of Fox's Alt-Right Taint (F.A.R.T. for short) promote, takes quite a talent. He is facing the Pompous Oleaginous Obsequious Party (aka P.O.O.P. for short, formerly GOP), too as they tune into F.A.R.T. for their daily dose of common scents. Tucker does not notice the stench. I think he is too close to the source of F.A.R.T. because he has a nose for news. He is a crack reporter ya know.

[Lifts arms, sniffs] whaddya mean _smell?_ I'm aromatic. That's what my plushies tell me. 🤪

Same.

Yep.

I really hope he will continue to have her on the show at least 2 or 3 days a month.

ditto.. this format has really grown on me

It's like having to use the toilet so much worse, the closer you get to your house.

At least spell his name right.🙄

Why would he, he is never going to go on his show

I love how he uses names 'we the people ' have come up with in the last 4 years for lord dampnut. 🤪

Yessss

Should have started that 5 years ago.

You mean Mar-a-Lardo?

This was the best Colbert I’ve seen in a while.

Agree!

@@karenwillough180 7579878768 9

A bit... ...sure. ^^ That's what it was... yeah.

Yes it was almost as if he channeled his Colbert report character to get into the rant.

Nope -- this is far, far better!

Nope

No, you aren’t the only one. This could go on forever as far as I’m concerned. I like it so much better.

I like this format, but I understand how difficult it is to perform without a room full of people. I think not having an in-person audience has sucked some of the fun out of performing.

Nope. I really don't want the old one back

That sharpie really fucked with him 😂😂😂😂😂

Let me know when you find comedy and not political mind twisting rhetoric first.

So you come to watch the show to complain about it and leave inane comments on a random persons comment? What in the world motivates you?

@@crushedit1497 eat me

What are you so worried about? Only a wife could laugh at him! What are you worried about?

Yeah it’s sweet his wife is his biggest cheerleader. It’s really nice and I think it’s sweet. I said sweet twice because it’s twice as sweet as normal.

Because the former commander in chief and his GOP minions wanted it to happen. That’s why it’s called an insurrection.

murica.

It's National (interest for our glorious oil industries abroad) Defense

They're white and America is racist.

it was an inside job.

I know!

But these same laser believing morons don't believe we actually landed on the moon. SMH

BTW, GREAT screen name!...

Why hasn't America stepped up, and taken credit for the Space Lasers? We can't let foreigners have the best Space Lasers! Quick, ship something to Baikonur! I don't know, make it look good, with diamonds and stuff. (Covers mic) Diamonds work for lasers, right? What do you mean Baikonur is closed? Well who hacked them? Oh. (Looks up at camera, and loosens tie.)

😁

I agree, he should continue from home, the format really plays to his strengths. He is so good in an informal setting. Just clear out the rest of the basement, thrown in another chair or two and a small bandstand for the musical acts that could all do stripped-down acoustic versions of their hits. Done!

@@mijnordna I agree with you, but this is not his home.

Agreed. Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers and, of course, Stephen, are all far better in this format. Too bad it's ending...

My favorite part of this format is actually the muffled laughter from his staff. I find it really really funny and refreshing rather than the laugh from the audience that sometimes sounds like a laugh track.

I agree, he is great in this format. He doesn't need the audience. But it is so clear HE needs the audience.

I might not watch anymore. The sound of an audience gives me anxiety lol.

Came here to say exactly this. It's been *years* since I watched late shows, but I've really become a fan of the button-down versions. I hope at least the suits don't make a comeback.

Me too! I prefer the intimate set up they have now

Yup. I'm probably going to drop it like I did with Fallon after he went back to the studio. Not a fan of the one size fits all generic version with the quick rattle through guests etc.

Maybe they could keep up one a week...do a Friday show or something. They are truly gold.

I cannot stop laughing at 'Gourd, gourd!!!!' 7:08

Best belly laugh in a long time. Writers must be smoking up all the good stuff before they have to go back to "the building".

Script? What script? There ain't been no script since March 2020 😂

I was thinking, "Ah, Stephen is showing his New Jersey. He's so very relatable!"

Oh hilarious! He swears? I had a fecal impact ion that was funny than him!😖

@@cocorees5 ur werds ar so gud

Good, I just tuned in. Was wondering what 3 more shows was all about

Jump to 11:40, which undoubtedly will be a classic moment during this broom closet show era.

That was just perfect!

I like your funny analogy, magic person.

That’s why we love him. 🙃

What format? Why doesn’t he go live? Guess not enough viewers? In fact would rather watch paint dry! More entertaining! He is lost without the best president of the us! Now we end up with piss pants, who he dare not make fun of? There is plenty of material there! Be scared of global warning! Not warming! 😯

@@cocorees5 He does. This is a clip of the broadcast not the whole show.

I miss believing that a heavily-armed "free" society would defend itself against violent domestic terrorists. But, yeah, television shows are important, too.

Well, if the world is going back to "normal" the next pandemic is right around the corner. And this one is not over.

@@Marijuanifornia bro just post your own comment if you want the traction. Why do people feel the need to try and undermine others platform

Facts

Agreed! And I find this is true for Seth Meyers and Trevor Noah as well!

Completely agree! And I will miss his lovely wife's laughter.

Omg are you serious! He is about as funny as a raging boil on your arse! 😝

Weird 😒

I really didn’t like those first few COVID compilation episodes (the one in the tub, on the porch, and by the bonfire, if I recall correctly). I appreciated him for trying to put out something, but it fell flat with me. Once he went into his living room (or wherever he started filming from) l, things started improving.

@@tylerkochman1007 It was his library/study. :D

Good idea. They all need to take a bow!

One of them is executive producer Chris Licht. I haven't figured out who Mark is. Cameraman?

@@akinpaws yeah, he hugged Mark few weeks back, when restrictions were lifted

Agreed!

Totally. ⭐️

They should keep playing it in the background in case it's a rough night.

This last week has been off the rails hilarious!

💯

You've probably never been to a taping but none of the laughter is forced! All 100% genuine, whenever it starts and whenever it stops. Maybe you think there are red "laughter" signs or something? Nope...

@@mjbaldwin they "sweeten" it when needed. they ALL do. the FULL truth is never pretty.

@@dumpygoodness4086 have you been to a taping?

Does it work in the day time? As that is when I voted .Also I had the best tactical military sunglasses on. You know the commercials. Lol. And I got 2 . One for free but I only had to pay $200 shipping for the free pair. Now that is a deal for protecting you from those anti- trump Italians. I thought every one in the world loved trump. If that was true why would I have to pay $ 230 for these glasses . Wouldn’t I get them for free from the trump loving Italians as well as every person, country and company in the world loves trump so much. I want my money back as I used those glasses and those Italian space rays made me vote for Biden! Was I supposed to buy a special hat also? I just don’t understand any of this. trump says everyone tells him how great he is and how everyone loves him. Am I not an everyone?

I miss Our Cartoon President and want Colbert to renew it for a 4th Season! The guy who voiced Trump also voices Biden, and it's not like the government is less of a cartoon with just a different President. I even have a great idea for the Season 4 cover art image: It's Washington Crossing The Delaware with Biden as Washington, Harris as Monroe (the soldier holding the flag behind Washington), and the rest of the people in the boat could be Dr. Jill, Hunter, Doug (Kamala's husband), Pelosi, Schumer, A.O.C., Sanders, Buttigeig, Yellen, Fauci, and Psaki.

Yeah, the return to an audience is going to suck. Ha. Such an outdated format for what's basically an internet show now. Was crossing my fingers they'd announce a big change but guess the audience and fake applause is a little too engrained haha.

Really?

Out of all the late night hosts; he needs the physical comedy and the audience most.

I like the live audience

Reason left the building when trump was put in the White House! That was an election that was fraudulent.

Agreed. Casual should be here to stay.

@@FringePrincess Don't care at all what you wear. Just keep the sharp observations coming.

@@karenshaub8273 exactly

This really is better.

"The bit" finale with the sharpie sniff-fed up

Yeah, i have the feeling that charming casual monologue will soon be a thing of the past, replaced by much shinier more polished ones that no one really wants. He's not gonna stand on the stage and pick on his cameraman, which is often the best part!

@@itsROMPERS... We lioved him before and I can't imagine how going back to wearing a suit and using his old format would ever be a be a negative.

@@karenshaub8273 This is just my opinion, but I'm a bit weary of the hyper-produced glamour version of reality. I've always been more interested in looking behind the curtain to see what's _really_ there, but particularly now, when honesty and intimacy are in scarce supply, I like it when people are genuine and relatable. Not saying I'm siding with the "presidents shouldn't be elitists" crowd, as I will always want a leader who is smarter than I am. But in a talk-show host, or PR, or whatever? I would rather it be a real person than a facade.

Reading this comment, but hearing the score to Taxi Driver..

That’s it

I never thought of that, but so true. lol

Yes. I'm not ready to share. 😭

Best segment title ever

Simon and Garfunkel actually used to perform as Tom and Jerry which is also the name of a cartoon. True.

Was not expecting that one.

Same 😂

Stephen didn't see it coming .. 😂

Why is that so funny? 🤣

@alrighty I’ve listened to it 3 times and I think Chris said it real time while recording and probably wasn’t in the script Stephen had seen, which makes it even funnier

Good idea they should play up the transition. No suit!

You pretty much got that wish...😁😁🖖

What is that language you speak? Cusana fy nhin! 😄

“Smash it”

Me too

Damn! I’m going to miss Evy laughing in the background! Always makes me smile.....

They're likely still going to, it'll be drowned out by the audience, though.

@@krejados1 A lot of the show ends up drowned out by the audience. This is much better for hearing everything.

Me too yo. It’s like my favorite part of the show. It’s delightful.

Could we please keep Evie? Please.

Not gonna miss the many varieties of the same comment about her though.

I like this format better. \o/

agreed!

These are classics

I couldn't agree more! This is the most I've ever watched his show. It's a brilliant format. Much more personal.

Comedy news man goes crazy in broom closet..... You sob, I'm in!

"The Death of US Democracy" chapter closes the book. How fast can you write? Lol.

@@petetimbrell3527 hopefully near death, they haven’t won yet

The Biden chapter

@@MSB-sn1md I hear ya

Saving the sanity of Americans everywhere? The man convinced you that one of the most peaceful and prosperous periods in American history was akin to Nazi Germany. Guess what. The reason that Trump's involvement wasn't included in a largely peaceful attempt to have voices heard in the Capitol after for the most part Capitol police let the people into the building was because there was no grand conspiracy and certainly no conspiracy directed from Trump. In fact, it is looking more and more like FBI operatives were very deeply involved in infiltrating the supposed insurrectionist 'groups' made up a a few 60 year olds to the point that the infiltrators of the organizations were very possibly the leaders and planners. And why would they decide to have inadequate security while attempting to make it appear that unarmed protesters were supposedly staging an insurrection meant to overthrow the government? Because Congress was on the verge of spending a minimum of six hours arguing why a ten day pause should take place prior to certification in order to have a forensic audit of the 2020 election before certification. it is pathetically sad to see how horribly the left has worked to try to demonize half the nation. Guess what. Those people are your neighbors and your co-workers. They attend your churches and volunteer at your children's schools. How has this nation gotten to this point? Answer. It's obvious when you take even a few steps back to recognize the hatred coming from people like Colbert.

Yeah, the pandemic brought out a more natural comfortable side to these shows. Once it goes back to pre-pandemic conditions the laughter after joke will seem completely fake and many of the funny charming bits Colbert was able to do at home (including the *physical* gags) he'll have to return to the imaginary props. I get that there's the frustration of being unable to see your audience or talk to your guests in person, believe me but these one-on-one, in-home sessions made Colbert's jokes truly genuine and therefore more funny.

@@anthonynycholas4230 Exactly. I love the authenticity of the snots, gahoffs, giggles, snickes and belly laughs. Even the silence was awesomeness.

I love Stephen but would have to say that in terms of crew relationships, both James Corden and Seth Myers easily give him a run for his money. But that doesn’t matter now 😥🥺. I will also miss these formats, but I guess I didn’t realize how much Stephen despises this format, so he needs to present in a way that makes him happy. On the far side of the late night host universe, Trevor is still filming from his apartment sporting his many colored hoodies. 😂😆 Early on, Trevor said this was about as much contact he would wish.

Love his wife

He loves his crew obviously, but this Covid format has been harder on him than any of the late night hosts because of how much chemistry he has with a LIVE AUDIENCE. I think it's because his background was improv, not standup. Comedians who spent their early careers in sad little venues learned how to survive dying, ha. They know how to shake off the feeling of not having a joke laughed at. But Stephen being a deliverer of scripted monologue jokes didn't start until after he was already famous from the Daily Show, and a big studio audience guarantees positive affirmation. So Covid quarantine threw the standup experience into reverse for him, going from hundreds of people scream-laughing to the first-year experience of a standup newbie, just a couple people chuckling here and there, and he doesn't have the callouses to deal with it.

I went to Penn State. I heard that a long time ago. It wasn’t AI it was malt liquor and weed

Accurate. They really pivoted like people who put thought into it. I'm feeling hopeful a few things will carry over, obviously Evie most.

Just Stephen and a sharpie, against entire world 😉🌍🤭
