- Congress has finally done something interesting! Also, Stephen does not want to live in a world where Paul Ryan gets to decide what's on television.

Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!" - บันเทิง
LOL. Paul Ryan looked like a substitue teacher on the last day of class.
I'm from Wisconsin...PAUL RYAN is a dumb ass! His head is so big I'm surprised he doesn't teeter over when he walks. LOL!
Instead of lukn like Eddie Munster?
Why were they not protesting against money in politics, corruption, universal healthcare,...?!!?
Got to start somewhere.
can't do everything at once
***** Very good point!
because this issue about gun violence is about all 3 things you just mentioned? NRA and military industrial complex puts huge amounts of money into politics to buy politicians to corrupt them from serving in the best interests of their constituents that results in ceaseless gun violence and thus creating and sustaining a massive public health risk to the population.
Who would vote AGAINST Healthcare?
Don't know what everyone's complaining about, I like that I can hear Jon Batiste chuckling in the background. It's John Fucking Batiste! We're lucky he's on this show.
This is the kind of mindset we need. Gosh, so tired of people complaining about Jon.
Am I the only one who actually likes Jon Batiste chuckling in the background?
Nope. People are bitchy that's all.
KrimsonVagus it's comforting
Stephen ALWAYS completes is hand gesture bits, hahaha, I love it. If pulling out an imaginary cell phone, he always puts it back in his pocket, and stuff like that. I love that about him.
Why are people talking about Jon's mic? Some talk show hosts have another guy that they play off of usually sitting on the couch or something like Andy Cohen for Conan. And Colbert is pretty clearly talking to him sometimes, so I dunno. Not a big deal.
Yeah, Carson had Ed McMahon sitting next to him; and Paul Shaffer on Letterman laugh! arrrrghhhh! These people just want the Colbert Report back.
Andy Cohen?
Nick Pelletier Whoops. Richter.
They should either actually bring him into the conversation, and cut to him for some reaction shots or they should turn off his mic completely. His mumbled quips every now and again isn't doing anything.
Because my fellow white people get upset over black people being themselves apparently.
Now that's an episode of Veep I'd like to watch!
They just lost the house we are just waiting to vote.
"Is that a shred of courage I see?"
:D ! BOOM SHAKA LAKA !
Unpopular opinion: I love Jon's interjections.
I think the sit-in by Congress about common sense gun control was needed. Finally.
"Speak out, even if your voice shakes."
i love how he always puts away his invisible props
1:10 At least he didn't turn off the lights. Cough, cough, Pelosi. Plus, C-SPAN cameras always turn off when the House is not in session.
When it comes to passing any sort of meaningful legislation that would help the average person, the GOP has been sitting on its ass for years. If it is not about trashing affordable health care, denying a woman’s right for having an abortion, or cutting taxes for the Koch Brothers, GOP representatives don’t care.
one day I'll binge watch the late show and down a shot of tequila every time Stephen Colbert uses his hands to represent big balls 😂😂
Fun fact: Jon Batiste's mic always remains switched ON :-/
That's not fun at all
Is that the guy from the band? because somebody needs to unplug that Mic for sure
+Levi Martin Why?
LunaWitcher because the guy from the band never has anything interesting to say has an annoying fake laugh and is just overall annoying as hell
well, it's actually not a fake laugh, unlike Fallon's, but yeah it's annoying .
Hey Stephen, talk about the Brexit next!
Somewhere out there, ISIS fighters are drooling as they see Europe falling apart.
He will tonight
can you inform me on this situation? i don't understand what is happening, how it will affect their country and others
Essentially, a large number of British citizens have voted to leave the EU due to concerns about freedom of movement guaranteed to EU constituents, and...well, really, that's the only viable complaint. Most of the others are heavily contentious in terms of what factual analysis can prove. (The leave campaign asserts that, within a few years, Britain will be better off than it is as part of the EU, but while it has some studies to suggest this, there are a large number that contradict it.)
However the biggest effects are that A, by having a financially stable and productive country leave the EU, the entire arrangement has been weakened. As a simple analogy, It's like if a skilled member of a band leaves, or if you were planning a trip with 4 friends, and one had to drop out. Sure, you can probably soldier on, or replace the absent member, but for at least a while, there's going to be doubt, and reduced ability to handle issues. That's what it will do to the EU: make it appear to be a less effective or productive institution, potentially start a domino-esque effect where more countries leave, eventually dissolving the institution.
The other major thing it's going to do is heavily complicate life for Britain, as a series of small issues just became larger. One is that, given the state to which globalization dominates the world, Britain's step toward isolation has dropped confidence in its markets, hence why the British pound lost 14% of its buying power last night. There will now need to be passport inspection centers when crossing from Britain to the mainland Europe, and even between Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland. Further, Scotland's response has been belligerent, and may lead to it abandoning the UK.
However, Britain will be able to achieve what seems to be one of the major goals of the Leave campaign: tighter immigration control. Basically, if you live in an EU country, and want to move to another one, the process is fairly simple, treated much as moving from one state to another is in America. There's some paperwork, new licenses and so on, but it's not the kind of hassle immigrants face. And many British voters wanted tighter immigration controls, due to a sense of "losing their national identity", or fears about radical Muslims moving from EU states with less rigorous immigration checks or requirements.
To put it in a pop cultural frame: this is like Zayn leaving one Direction. It casts doubt on either party's ability to continue producing with anything like their former ability, but it does allow the exiting member more control of their endeavors. It also means that, should they fail, it's totally on them, but maybe it's worth the risk. We won't know for some time.
Quick correction to my post: I had a digit wrong in my pound calculations, so the actual loss of buying power is around 9%, not 14%.
Wow such respect for democracy... cut off C Span but preach to others about freedom of expression lol
Freaking hysterical, lol...
Hi.(sorry for bad Chinese)
lol. I'll forgive you this time.
好
As always, thank you, Stephen, for putting away your mime props when you're done.
I missed you stephen ! this was brilliant lol stuff. I may consider coming back to you now .......my precious.
brilliant as usual
Congress is BANANAS!
Oh you!
awww...rotary phones was cool. yes, i have used it.
0:50 Did you say that during the government shutdown or the 2008 Republican sit-in? No.
To be fair he didn't have this show at any of those points so...
Colbert Report?
CoWinkKeyDinkInc yeah but that wasn't necessarily the same type of show. For one, the character he was playing was a satirical version of himself (though now that you mention it I suppose there could've been a chance that he could have considering the type of character)
Hmm, I wonder why
Maybe because democrats are trying to get guns out of the hands of terrorists, and republicans were trying to repeal healthcare. They threw a tantrum when they found out people were not gonna be in debt because of their medical bills
Your son is not alone- I'm usually stoned when I watch Cspan.
No celebration for Saint John Baptiste Day?
Whyd they shut the cameras?
Seriously think about it. What reason in the world could there be? Did they think it wouldnt get attention? did they not realize everyone on the floor protesting also can broadcast by themselves? Was it really just a petty response to not having control for a second?
Jesus christ, get your fucking shit together.
Did they bring their coloring books and toy guns to practice their hysterics?
If this was the republicans steven would be tearing them a new one
I don't think it's possible to post a dumber comment than the one above me. If the Republicans agreed with Steven Colbert about gun reform he would be tearing them a new one? WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
No you moron, if the Republicans were hosting a sit-in regarding an issue that they felt wasn't going their way Steven would be tearing them a new one. In fact that's exactly what happened when they essentially shut everything down after Obamacare got instated.
Most likely, but not because the Republicans were holding a sit-in. It would be because the Republicans were holding a sit-in to cancel ACA, fund guns for toddlers, frack in national parks, imprison homosexuals and lesbians and transgenders, and reinstate slavery.
It felt like they were grand standing. They just wanted to look like they were for the people, when it fact, it was all for show.
RAWWWR XD- somebody kill me now.
never thought saying rawr could be a suicide attempt
+Reid C. Call the NRA, that's their section.
I will agree with you on one point. The do nothing Congress and Senate. Screwing the people. The dog and ponies show
that rotary phone joke is your worst joke in 5 years Stephan
Wait.... Was that an Archer quote??? ((Dangeer Zonee))
how can i just tell jon baptiste's voice from everyone laughing?
jon batiste is the p diddy of late night talk shows
an 800% increase to 800 people would mean 88.8 people would be watching normally, when it's obvious the implication of the joke was to say only 1 person is normally watching it.
bad math is bad
or if I should assume another incorrect math mistake, if 800% was the actual NET DIFFERENCE and not the NET INCREASE, the answer would be 100 people (instead of 88.8)
The joke implication was that 'very few' people normally watch. Assuming unstated math is missing the point.
This is only a single answer, what's the percentage increase if the original answer was a single viewer but it had risen to nine viewers? I am no maths wizard but I think that's an increase of 800%.
Funny hahahaha😂😂😂😂😂
you call that courage?
I love Stephen.. but please, please, FUCKING TURN JON BAPISTE mike off!
man i wish Colbert was my dad (since mine left) lol
What else would they sit on, their hands?
I've watched Stephen for years, i can tell he is genuinely upset about this. Tell it like it is !!
I like C-SPAN.
Thanks Colbert's sponsors for creating a biased form of comedy.
salome: bring me the head of jon batiste
when congres sit a round the housse they realy sit ariound the houes.
This show is too political. I liked it when Letterman hosted it.
You realize we're in the middle of an election and a huge debate on weapons that can create historical change correct? would you rather hear jokes about cheese?
lol
To be fair, Colbert is good at cheese jokes.
+Bill Palmer if you can't even remember Lettermans name you have no place to comment on this.
The new guys are funny, don't know what you're talking about lol
Can someone eli5 on that last joke?
John batiste soundboard *ho *hey* hahaa* whooo* ha *random unrelated side comment
Also, 3:25
lots and lots of guns that's the solution
as much as i love the show, Jon batiste is not a good sidekick. turn the goddamn mic off.
2:37 No, it means 9 times more people were watching. So nine hundred people were watching, not 800, assuming only 100 people watch C-SPAN at any given time.
He meant nobody watches it.
actually, it'd be 89 (round 800/9) instead of 100 if it's 800% MORE
Richard Darlington, it's 800% more so you have to add it back to 100. guru, that's only assuming he's correct about 800. I think he tried to choose a nice whole number instead like 100.
It's impossible to calculate, you don't know the original number nor the new one, all you know is the rise as a percentage. It's incalculable like the Koch brothers wealth.
dan taylor, "like the Koch Brothers' wealth."

This guy doesn't know what he's doing in late night clearly. His monologue is like a reallly bad Conan O'Brien. Jokes don't even make sense.
Why the Ed McMahon off-stage guffaws? Is this a normal element of the Colbert show? Seems kind of cheesy to me.
ffs take the microphone away from the obnoxious pianist
Huill
Batiste and Colbert are great and all, but they don't seem to work off each other well. their banter is pretty awkward
wow, this comment section looks pretty negative 😒. but that's none of my business ☕
Colbert's show will continue to go down the crapper as he relinquishes control to his corporate overlord bosses.
You're not his target audience don't worry about it
Are you upset that Colbert has a liberal bias? lol
+GordonFroman117 I'm upset at his establishment bias. I hate corporate media.
To be fair to Michael Burrow, corporations run everything these days. Take, for example, FOX News.
Colbert used to be an over the top conservative and it was funny. Now that we're seeing his true nasty colors, nobody tunes in to the show. Bring back the repor
Is it me or is this show getting more "reaL" or like intense.
THIRD!
Antonio Lewis
did they bring their Marxist coloring books and toy guns to practice their hysterics?
...Stephen Colbert is irrelevant...
Personally, I think Colbert just needs to get laid.
Stephen is a practicing Catholic yet has increasingly leftist views. Note: see this comment if you need reassurance that we can all, religious or not, have a progressive way of thinking. Not saying religion and politics peacefully coincide often, but it's not impossible.
Maybe Stephen just strikes a cord with me because I was also raised as an Irish Catholic, the difference being I don't practice any religion besides possibillianism
Dear Colbert,
If you're going to behave like a liberal shill on your show, please just wear a shirt reading "liberal shill."
Thanks
basically
