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
I'm half Black, half Korean. I remember I was in 4th grade and my dad saw another middle-aged black man in the mall. They exchanged pleasantries, and I asked if they knew each other, why would you do that? My dad said "If you saw an American in a foreign country you would say hi"
First time I really had a real recognition of how people identify themselves by race.
I'll say hi to you also. You're a fellow human being, right? 😊
+calebwilford True, I went to school in Osaka Japan and the very few times my room mate and I saw a gaijin there was always a 'nod'
that's interesting, what your dad said. makes sense
One of the first times I was riding on a motorcycle with my ex, I kept seeing him do the peace sign to other bikers. I asked him why and he said it was just the thing that bikers did. He said it was an acknowledgement that if you're on a bike, "You've been through some shit."
So Colbert makes pretty much the perfect analogy here because if you're a black man in America, you've been through some shit.
I live in India and I'm European.
Every time I cross another white-ish person (I'm not really white myself but eh) they give me the "white glare" (that's how my Indian friends call it)
I can see the desperation in their eyes like "pls help me this is hell" and I just smile and wave.
Happens to everybody ^^
I'm a black man and live in the South Side of Chicago (Hyde Park). I don't do the nod because there are black guys everywhere. If I lived in an area where black people were scarce, I would do the nod.
*****
I really am black though and I live in Hyde Park 52nd street, Chicago, IL. I don't know how what I said was racist. I was just saying I don't do the nod in a majority black community. I only do the nod if there aren't many black people who live in that area.
+XxSavannahBoy okay I edited that part out. I didn't mean to make it sound racist.
+ominous450 Good point. I do the nod all the time and have since I was a little girl but that's because I grew up in a mostly white area and went to a mostly white college and live in a mostly white-and-Hispanic area now.
Well, you're a cornball then. TF is that about?!
ominous450 you right there by Bar Louie... I live on South shore drive
"That's very pleasant" HAHAHAH
+GraceanneParks
And that "that's the whitest thing I've ever heard" laugh ;)
+GraceanneParks I know I'm not cool because I would've said the same thing hahaha
I LOL'ed on that part too. Funny thing is... I say things in a very black-ish way, but I would say the same thing 😂
yeah, but that was cute. I was cracking up!
Well, you can cut out southern accent, but you can't cut out southern manners from a gentleman from Charleston 😂😂😂
Black-ish is one of my favorite shows.
+Melody Sol It looks good!!
True story: since I've been natural, other natural women give me the nod. It's a club within the club. VIP-ish.
Danielle Strong-robinson What do you mean “natural”?
sorry but I have to ask, are you the same Danielle Strong that is a WM from back around 1993?
This is the most fun I have seen Colbert have in an interview!!!
sigmaoftheyear and his interview with Tiffany haddish
People in the comments are really getting worked up about the "nod". He knows that black people aren't the only ones who do it and not all black people do it either. He's just being funny; that's part of his job. Some people don't have a sense of humor smh.
Just let the basement dwellers be angry...
I'm sure he realises that, but the people who commented on it about it don't seem to know its not only a black AMerican thing
My husband is Mexican and they also do the nod lol
Ok nigga
The nod kills 175 out of 1 white babies every day
I'm a black Brazilian, I spent two weeks in Japan where it is not common find black people on street, so every black people that passed by we knocked
The nod is universal. 90% of guys I know do it.
~ Absolutely! (nod)
Yeah or nob down
Yeah, my brother does it, and we're white.
+dragonfiremalus to guys they don't know? O:
+frankinsane and myrrh same for me, and of course, but not everybody and at all time tho
Even though he is on the show. He poorly explained what being blackish is about. I honestly don't think he truely knows. Being Blackish is a description of a Black person or Black Family that lives in the suburban life and trying to adapt to that at the same time keeping their roots and history as a black person. So you not 100% black because your lifestyle is mixed with a white suburban lifestyle. A good example episode would be when his son wanted to play soccer because all of his friends who are majority white play. But the father was a bit bother given that most blacks play basketball, baseball, and football and culturally those sports are popular in urban city life.
There are alot of black people that still listen to hip hop, still say nigga and still in tune with their american ancestry roots. At the same time, you would never guess it in the work place because they have become accustom or at least learned to adapt in a white working environment or suburban environment. That, my friend, is blackish. And its becoming more common everyday which is why its no surprise the show is as popular as it is.
Most
+anthony Gordon Thanks for the explanation. However, i'm going to leave you with the wize words of of Carleton Banks "Being Black is what I am, not what I'm trying to be". What Carleton means is you guys need to stop trying to live to a "black ideal" that doesn't actually exist.
DininDalael Of course not, but there's African American culture, which is what OP is talking about. Isn't that important to upkeep?
;3 no
Eva María García Velázquez Seemingly, you aren't really in that culture. Afro-Latin maybe, but not African American. Try again next time.
Fact: It's possible to be black and NOT be "black-ish" because black people aren't a homogeneous mass with the same life experience.
Case in point: Obama is as white as white can be.
+spinvalve civil and proper, not white...
joseFirst Lastdiaz good point. Makes Trump look so uncivil and improper.
+mariokarter13 did you just quote Drake's character from the Black Jeopardy skit on SNL??
Even though he is on the show. He poorly explained what being blackish is about. I honestly don't think he truely knows.

A good example episode would be when his son wanted to play soccer because all of his friends who are majority white play. But the father was a bit bother given that most blacks play basketball, baseball, and football. Another example would be a black man or woman who marries someone of another race more particularly white. And adapts to the suburban lifestyle.
3:35 Jon Batiste's laugh and how he stopped on a dime had me pissing my pants laughing!
I think there was a cut lol you can see Stephen stopped clapping and laughing all of a sudden as welm
Heroic Love yeaaaaaaahh lol
3:22 That laugh was so strong I heard it even after he stopped.
I’m adopted by a white women so I was never educated about black culture. I remember as a child not understanding why strangers kept giving me the node. I remember when I was seven I was approached by a man who was black and his son. His son was around my age so I thought maybe I knew him. The man asked me what my name was so he introduced his son to me. He then pointed to his son and said, his your little brother and you’re his sister. He was educating me because he knew that I was clueless. It was the first time that I really understood the node.
"What if I did the nod?"
"You would never do that."
Silently agrees. Hahaha best moment
But why not?
That white girl in the band just looking around nervously 😂
Arabs in the US give each other "the look". We just stare at another Arab until that person realizes we are Arab and then kinda half-assed salam it.
Sarah Bouachir lol dead
"Half-assed salaam it" omg I know I'm super late but you are so funny😂🤣
Sarah Bouachir as a black woman you have our permission to use said nod Anthony Anderson is talking about it's like bobbing ur head to ur favorite song ( think of a giraffe holding its head high for no apparent reason )
It's weird how people in the comments are taking Anthony Anderson talking about Black culture as being racially divisive
If someone else was sharing things that they do in their culture, be it Irish Catholic, Japanese, Korean, Peruvian, etc, would you take it as being divisive??
blahzaze but there a lot more black people than the ones you mention. as a white I just feel a little left out and jealous I guess.
No it's because white people have ALWAYS been jealous of black culture, why do you think they're so hell bent on using things like "nigga" and getting triggered anytime they get an insight into black culture. "ALL lives matter!" "We nod too!" They take the celebration of our culture as an insult to theirs, since "white culture" doesn't exist.
I mean he basically said "black guys nod". Hardly the most in depth cultural expose lol
White people can't deal with dealing about the black race. All others are ok...oh except native Americans. Most can't deal with the people they torture telling it like it is and with no hesitation or apologies. The days of trying to make them feel comfortable in our space is OVER. Unapologetically Black Baby!!! And I am!!
@@eureka0521 HOLLA!!! Hell to the YEAH to that shit!!! Haters and Lovers at the same damn time...They a confused AF people
I just noticed that Stephen Colbert sounds exactly like Dave Chappelle's "white guy" voice.
The universal nod is ' i see you' showing each other's value. I envy how black people stick up for each other, its an encellent trait.
*other. It's
*excellent
The nod is so true, all over the world lol.
+Jonte Ded Not in Sub-Saharan Africa
+Atse Zeriakob Thats cause you'd be nodding to everyone over there, only where the melanin is scarse
+Atse Zeriakob says who?!?
Atse Zeriakob Well obviously not if everyone around you look the same. It's more between black people in "non-black countries".
I love this show Blackish. It’s so popular with everyone, well almost everyone. We are all humane and it doesn’t take much to relate to one another after all. My black great grand parents on both sides of my family were watered down so much you can’t tell there is any black in me but my sons are black and my grand nephews are black, we all live in the suburbs, where the schools are predominantly white. Although there is a good mixture of different ethnicities and races I would say 99% are biracial. Half Chinese, White hispanic, half European, half Indian, half black, etc. This show is great for everybody including people like us that lack the experience of growing up in a black community, especially with me being an atheist.
Im half black half Hispanic...i know about the nod...I had a friend see me do the nod with a black brother in the mall..my buddy was like " I saw that bro...I saw the nod" 😂😂😂
I thought Anderson had a phantom laugh at 3:24.
I always thought "blackish" meant that their experience was not the "full black experience." Did not think of it as a skin tone issue.
This guy seems cool.
@no this guy was cool in training day 😏
+NoahOfTheArc I will never forgive him for single-handedly ruining law & order after 20 some years. His partner wasn't great, but this guy really put the nail in the coffin. I loved that show.
his laugh is amazing
Its annoying. And he is a racist prick
This is such a wholesome video.
It's interesting to me that "the nod" amongst certain groups is an upward nod. As a white guy, my interpretation has been that a nod down is a gesture of respect (and I offer this to anybody when eye contact is made), while a nod up is ambiguous. I don't rush to conclusions when others give me a nod up, but to do it myself would feel like saying "s'up?", which to me is a flippant, douchey thing to say.
The node for black people usually occurs when black people are in a environment of very few black people. In so many ways the node is saying "Hey look at us, we are the only black people in the room but its good to see another brother, hows it going" lol It does not occur when their in a room full of other black people. That would be too much nodding.
Colbert's dude on that piano has the fakest laugh I've ever seen. I'm talking faker than Jimmy Fallon fake.
+Andrew Wallock that's physically impossible
+regenbogenjohnny lol
+Andrew Wallock Damn, that's fake!!
+Andrew Wallock It's possible he's there for rehearsal so it doesn't hit him as hard. lol
+Andrew Wallock
Jimmy Fallon: The Gold Standard of Fake
I love Stephen Colbert, such an outstanding individual. Witty, thoughtful, kind and a true leader. He's truly changing the WORLD!
I feel this so much I’m half Mexican half European and I look white so I’m Latina-ish
Can anybody make a show where the father is not an idiot. The more I watch this show the more disgusted I get with the pettiness, the selfishness, the lack of empathy, the lack of natural affection for family that this show depicts. At first I found it funny but now it makes me wish that someone would create a show where the father would actually depict a person who is a positive role model for American dads. It's unfortunate that the media today doesn't recognize the impact it has in shaping societies attitudes about family life.
so, Fallon also can roll through the hood then
5:50 Colbert was transforming
he's one of my top 3 favourite black people
He is one of my top 3 least favourite actors.
I have travelled to a few places around the world, and i can for sure tell you, the "nod" is in fact true.
Unless its a place where blacks aren't the minority, the funny thing is, it's not even a conscious act, you just do it.
0:00 "Thansh for being here"? I swear that's what he said.
+Ruby Doobie How do you even notice that LMAO!
What a pleasant interview.
"The Universal Black Head Nod"
+Tago Jones it's ours now NOD, Nod!! to the brothers
+Cornelius Shivambu Alright dude calm down. It's not that serious
Why doesn't Anthony nod to all Americans?
WHY ANOTHONY. WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?
Why don't all Americans nod to Anthony
I have been doing the nod for over thirty years and I just find it easier
I would love to watch a segment with Anthony, Steven, and John. That would be even funnier!
nod up is black. nod down is white
I'm Black and I live in Arizona and I see this all the time. I've even seen some Black girls do it (in a slightly different way like with a smile or a wave). I believe that it's because you don't see that many Black people in Arizona. The "nod" may not be as common in places like New York, Louisiana, or Chicago but it's definitely real.
I love Anthony Anderson :)
What would happen to Stephen if he rolled through the hood without a picture of the band?
+JoAnna Wheaton They'd think of him as a regular white dude. And not nod at him.
+JoAnna Wheaton Probably have to sign a lot of autographs.
+Michael W Assuming they know who he is.
I love this man
The Nod is so true. I am from Ethiopia, a nation who had never been colonised and no white power at all.. Yet I moved to white country and when ever we see us Black people,, we Nod to each other as "I saw you brother/ Sister" that's universal Fact!!!
I am black. Whenever I say it, people have to look at my skin and I have to say "Caribbean Black"
When i state my African heritage, they look at my skin and i have to follow up with 'half Caribbean'. I feel you
MY MAN YOU JUST GONNA TELL EM ABOUT THE NOD LIKE THAT
The nod is just saying I see you brother I do it all the time and I'm surrounded by black folks, I'm in wilkes-barre Pennsylvania and have been here for 15 years, it's like saying hello without waving
The nod is such a real thing. Every-time I see another African American male, I have the urge to nod 😭
Dear ppl, GOD created black, Hollywood created black-ISH. That is the true difference.
WOW look at my daddy on tv. My parents should meet him
Everybody does the 'nod'. I loved Good Times!
i love stephen haha! he gotta come to the cookout
wow...Anthony Anderson lost a ton of weight....good for him, he looks great
Why are so many getting bent out of shape over nodding. I've seen the nod interaction many times. And for lack of a better word or description. I find it poignant or touching. I can't describe. That two men who don't know each other will nod in certain situations because letting each other know they know how the other feels and acknowledging the what they experience in their lives. Anyways. I like the show.
that was so fun to watch!!!
Their chemistry is AMAZING!
He actually said I need bigger mouth in reference to black man...I just want everyone to notice his remark .
after Dwayne Johnson , Anthony Anderson is prolly the second person with greatest smile
I live in the UK so only the older black people do the nod. Everyone else just avoids eye contact.
It's s fresking great show, love it!
I have done the nod, it's like a instinct.
Why are American black people trying to claim the nod? That's a universal sign of respect and acknowledgment and a "you have my attention go forth and speak"
my favourite show great
This is unity at its finest.
Contact Black...that shit killed me, lol 😎
Didn't know the "nod" was mainly a black thing.
I ain't black and I do it alot.
*a lot
Two words, not one. Think of it like this: a few, a little, a bunch, a _whole_ bunch, a lot, a _whole_ lot.
Just fell in love wit thema all over again
I'm convinced, Stephen is a undercover black man😂😂😂💓
People, it's not that serious.
Their conversation and all the jokes about the nods and the band and contact black just underscore how this show Black-ish, which is supposed to be progressive is little more than a mediocre sitcom mired in silly stereotypes. I know this is just Anthony Anderson alone here but he is representing his show and look where the discussion goes. P.S.. I like anderson & fishburne.
Fun fact: in Finland "the nod" is another way for teens to say "sup"
By that rationale, Jimmy Fallon is blacker than Colbert.
True, also Fallon is extremely superficial and it's irritating
I'm Irish and I do the nod!
That's soooooo cute. He was blushing and embarassed when he did it too! Awwww... 😂
why does this make so much sense...
colbert is the only american talk show / host / interviewer dude that I like from America. no offence to americans or their choice of media
Let me preface this comment as to not confuse people, there is a definitive difference between just being black and specifically being part of the black community. Now that that's out of the way, I want to say that I really despise how the black community views itself. Lets get real right now, being considered black by the black community isn't about where you're from or your race, its an elitist branding thing. If you act a certain way and have any dark skin tone whatsoever, you're considered black and you get to pretend that you have everything in common with everyone else that looks and acts like you. It's basically the same thing as an 1800s rich old white man's club. If you act in a way that the club doesn't deem fit, you are excommunicated. If your skin tone isn't the same as theirs, they don't trust you. There's so much self segregation going on in the black community, its insane. Cue all of the SJWs who are going to scream out that I'm white therefore I don't understand. Pardon me for connecting on a human level rather than just with people with a certain skin tone that act a specific way. Last month I literally saw a black woman stand up at a town hall style meeting with candidates for a government position and tell a white woman running that she could never represent or understand HER struggles because of the color of her skin.
+Trevor Merrill you're speaking facts
aewo s omea See the thing is though, black people didn't come from a culture and then bring it over to America like Asian-Americans or Mexican-Americans. Hell, they don't even all come from the same part of the world, much less the same country. A large portion of black people in America don't even have roots in Africa, and so they legitimately have zero connection to one another other than the color of their skin being darker than a white person t some degree. Also, there legitimately is plenty of self segregation going on. I do a lot of business in the black community and one thing I have noticed is that they are heavily focused on funneling their children into black-only environments. From pre-school to college, they specifically put their children in black-only schools because they believe it is more important for their children to be around nothing but other black kids, than live in the real world and blend into America. I totally understand how different cultures exist in America and I respect that, but the black community is some seriously made up bullshit that has no historical or cultural connection to anything. It would be like if all of the gingers got together and created a close knit community that only trusted other gingers and sent their kids to ginger only schools and only attended ginger churches and only did business with other gingers and pretended to be family with all other gingers. That's f*cking INSANE. I would also like to point out that a lot of the black culture comes from being statistically more impoverished, which is totally fine, I get that, but they act like nobody else could EVER understand them, even though there's far more poor white people and Mexican-Americans than black people who are in the exact same situations in life. I live in the ghetto and am poverty line basically, yet they see that I'm white and just assume that I'm an untrustworthy rich white guy who is going to try and screw them over. The black community is based on the foundation of extreme racism towards all other racist. They got shit on a long time ago and then just turtled and now all of the old black folks keep telling their kids about those damn horrible white people who are coming for you and are out to destroy your dreams. And this isn't shit I'm making up, this is stuff that I've heard at black community events and public speakers more times than I can count. Its f*cking ridiculous.
Well as black person who gets called an Oreo pretty often usually the whole "your not really black though" comment usually comes from the white people at my school but whoever tells me that usually says it in a joking manner. It gets annoying but I rarely take offense cause (sometimes) they're just joking
Not to say that there aren't some people who are legitimately harassed for not behaving "black" enough but I've personally never seen it
+aewo s omea
I wholeheartedly agree with your conclusion, and I concur that white people most definitely have a substantially hard time understanding all aspects the black experience, but I would argue that with adequate empathy and insight, anyone can appreciate the plight or circumstance of another.
I've known some who have conveyed the conviction I could never, ever "get it" (not necessarily something race-related), but I feel that sort of mentality keeps us from having as close a connection as we might be capable of. Can't really argue with that, anyway. Indeed I can never be sure that I understand fully what it's like to substantially different from how I am, but at the same time, others can never be certain that I don't understand. We never really know exactly what someone else truly sees.
I'm reminded of Sam Cooke's reaction to Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In The Wind". It's said that Cooke could hardly believe such a poignant song on race had been written by a white person. Afterwards, he was motivated by Dylan's song to write "A Change Is Gonna Come", which is amazing in its own right. But why must we think you have to live a certain life in order to understand what it means?
"that's very pleasant" - now i know how to make black people laugh if i get into trouble
Loved this interview. It's always good to see people having great conversation about race and culture.
-@BrownyBeatsTX
Why do people not acknowledge that this nod is on a person by person basis? It's not a code for being accepted into a secret group with cookies, card trading, and video game tournaments or anything. And even if it was, I wouldn't tell you.
5:45!!!! ROFL TEARS!!!!!!
I feel the nod is being taken out of context when we blacks take full ownership.. I think its a universal human way of acknowledging each others accomplishments where the odds were slim. For example if two Americans one black and the other white found themselves playing as opponents a UEFA Champions League finals they would definitely node each other.
"The Nod" I was in Nigeria and did the nod. #WorldWideCrossContinents!
Yoo shout out from Abuja Nigeria! We know bout the nod in these parts.
'my brother, you are home'.
That was awesome.
Mexicans do "the nod" too, it's even funnier when we do it too some of the white people because they have no clue 😂😂
If you went to a public school, you know the nod. It's not a race-exclusive thing.
Yaaas Stephen Yaaas! #dynomite - Colbert for President please
It is Kid Dy-no-mite! I loved that show!
Even if that's a pillow under Laurence Fishburne's shirt in the GT skit, I can see why Samuel Jackson gets irate when lazy interviewers get them confused.
:O I learned the Nod in highschool and didn't realize it was a black thing.
The nod.. LOL, Asians (or at least HK friends I had) do the nod too when they see each other. :D
This interview is hilarious.
Before I got the concept of Acting, I always thought that he was Kyle Massey from That's So Raven, but all grown up. 😹 Dang, Kangaroo Jack!!
Carry a pic of your band while playing D12 My Band on a boombox
Black is dark or light skinned in the low to middle socio-economic level. Blackish is dark or light skinned with upper middle class or above socio-economic level money and privilege. That's the true difference.
