Im french and i remember back then how it made me feel better to see such support from all over the world, a shame we're only kind to each other during tragic times, love you all !

Stephen makes everything better.

Merci beaucoup Stephen de nous faire rire dans ces moments difficiles!!

God bless France from America

That last line was fucking mic drop worthy.

Whoever dislikes this video is a suspect.

That last line 10/10

that last joke was gold

Colbert's greatest moments come from the darkest tragedies.

I'm French, I live in Paris and I just want to thank you for this video !

Merci les Amis Ricains ! 7 ans apres ca fait tjrs plaisir !

I didn't realize back then how much support we had from over the world. Merci.

Merci Stephen ! I'm French and, as your buddy John Oliver from HBO's Last Week Tonight, I say thank you for your support with smile and laughs. #PrayForParis :)

The last sentence. Amazing.

I'm a French guy studying in London when I heard the terrorist attack was currently happening I was with my English girlfriend. I first made sure my friends and family were safe and afterwards I admit I watched ratatouille with my girlfriend who never seen it. The reason is I didn't want to feel same fear and anxiety I had felt during the terrorist attack at Charlie hebdo ( which I've always been fan) and the kosher market ( which is the one my dad use to by kosher for are more religious friends).

I am very grateful for all that support we've been receiving from all over the world. Thank you so much Stephen for making me laugh again. Sending everyone warm (french) kisses.

i thought french fries came from belgium?

Thanks Stephen to make us laugh . Happy New Year from France

Happy to see American-French solidarity!

I like how he speaks from the heart. No script written for him at all. So genuine.

Merci Stephen. Merci beaucoup. You cheer us up at a time we need this. But let's not forget that we aren't the only ones murdered by those cowards. We stand for a better world, free from this madness.

I love how the editors didn't just make it so Lady Liberty had a middle finger stuck up, they moved her torch so it was in her other hand.

Excellent piece Colbert. Excellent.

The best possible way to react to this sad incident. Stephen is nothing but awesome.

Merci, du fond fu coeur. You're amazing, funny but respectful. So sad we can't see your program down here... Keep on with it!

Thank you for this it gave me confort and laughter in this moment of sadness

I'm French, from Paris. Thank you so much, you made me laugh, and it's so important to laugh right now. Thanks

Bravissimo, Stephen Colbert !

The massive wave of love we receive from foreigners really makes a change, there is a feeling of being vulnerable right now, and seeing people give a shit helps. Thank you all

Agreed. But I think the better message is to be aware of the good and the bad in the world, and don't let your awareness be manipulated by -- or only supplied by -- the media.

That last line. Fuckin' bravo!

It seems like it was less than a year. 2016 went by _fast_

3:57 Shots fired.

geee, i'm French, thanks you made me smile, and even laugh !

Thank you from Paris.

I'm glad there is anger and repulsion and heartache around the Western world for what happened in Paris. But the problem is we've seen this all before, and we've seen this response before. We can be very emotional for a few weeks, we say we stand for liberty and our way of life, we'll raise the flag of whatever country was targeted this time, and sing their national anthem, but when it comes to real action we become cowards. How many media outlets in the West reprinted the Charlie Hebdo cartoons? They said we stood for free speech, but they imposed blasphemy laws on Western society in response to that atrocity. We marched in the streets, we cried and said Je Suis Charlie, but we were only acting, to make us feel like we were being courageous. Nobody was Charlie because only a small minority has the courage to stand up for free speech in the West. And when the cartoonists from Charlie Hebdo had not even been laid in the ground yet, the Western media called them racists. Before the bodies from this latest atrocity had even been identified, there were many in the left wing press saying that this is our fault, as if we'd brought it on ourselves merely by existing and being free. It's an abomination. We have no courage to stand up for our human rights. And not just the courage to stand up against Islamists, but the courage to stand up against those in our own society that will say you're racist and that you deserve to die because a barbaric religion from the desert says so. We're watching our civilisation fall apart like the Romans, we don't do anything to defend it.

Do not underestimate the courage of the French , they were the first to discover that the snails were edible. Thank you for all your support. I was in Paris that night, I heard the bullets. Now the only thing I want to hear is the sound of joy, laugh and peace. From France, with love.

oh I loved the spin on freedom fries. Papas libertad!

Gained a lot of respect for that closing statement

You are loved the world over, Mr. Colbert. :)

Drop the mic, Stephen. That last comment was spot on.

my cousin was in the attacks. VIVE LA FRANCE
