So good, I really dont think his bewilderment was an act. Like, "okay, I guess this is what Broadway dreams are made of." Also, I think he thought about offering the lady that spoke about healthcare a job.
colbert has been dealing with improv and the more, uh, strong and or strongly erratic personalities i've experienced in media in the last say 20 years. i imagine he takes a lot in stride
Some very honest, articulate answers here from New Yorkers. Well done. But, yea I admit. The "golden shower" fur coat woman floored me! Oh, New Yorker, you!
LA is a car city so I see the point. New Yorkers, still, are just damn unique. Very chill and hard to impress. I think people are interesting and I'd watch this in all kinds of cities. But, again, New York does have a certain flair and there is no shortage of interesting, chatty people at every turn.
Wermhats Wormhat Most of my friends are actually still viable for health insurance under their parent's insurance plans. That's why I asked the question in the first place, so that I could better understand how such things could happen.
@Woodsy Owl Ya I'm sure it was Obama's fault that your mom's business tanked. It couldn't possibly be her fault. This is the problem, people don't take accountability for their own failures. The government is NOT going to bail you out unless you're a bank or a corporation. Get used to it bro.. things will be the same under Fuhrer Trump. Good luck paying $20 for an avocado.
As someone who just moved to NYC to attend Columbia University from a small rural town in southwestern Georgia, I was actually very emotionally moved by this. The messages shared here are heartfelt and honest, and it makes me proud of what I believe I try to stand for.
I feel like Stephen Colbert was underutilized but these were surprisingly nice quick interviews with real New Yorkers. Most of us are really nice, just don't bother us during our shitty commute, etc.
2:15 "Golden Shower" LOL. Come on folks - this is how funny NYC'rs reallyare. That old lady in the fake mink coat didn't miss a beat. You may think they're being rude, but they just have great dry humor. Okay?
I just got back from a trip to New York. Everyone was nervous about me walking the streets, but everyone was so kind to me. It was a lovely experience. ♥️
Leo Brooklyn He was a Democrat until he learned he could make more money scamming Boomers and edgy Conservatives. If there is anything New Yorkers know, its how to spot a fraud. Thing is that the ppl best capable of spotting con artist make some of the best con men.
We live in a bubble in the sense that we live around more liberals. But we interact more with our neighbors here - we share walls, elevators, buses and subway cars with them. My community is much more diverse than the average American town - 50% nonwhite, 50% foreign born, and a high percentage of Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, and other faiths. I also interact with people of all income levels thanks to the subway and other facets of urban life. Is someone who lives in a conservative, mostly-white, mostly-Christian town living in any less of a bubble?
@@eduardoarmenta9232 all of you high brow transplants ignore natives from the outer boroughs and treat the lower income folks like they have the plague.
I always think it's hilarious when they say New Yorkers live in a bubble. You're saying the city that has gays living next to jews living next to black people living next to hispanics living next to muslims living next to hipsters living next to investment bankers living next to immigrants living next to every group out there is confined in its cultural seclusion? Really? Like reallllyyyyy? I guess being from a white only town you must have so much more exposure outside world. Who lives in the bubble again?
NYC is SEGREGATED...especially by ethnicity. NYC is one of the most sexist and racist cities in the world. You need to know someone or have money to live there. It is just going to become and International city ..all five boroughs (all about conducting business and tourism)...and unless you have to do certain business there....no.you won't be able to live there.
BASM None of that is true. I'm from Texas and I moved to NYC 2 years ago. I knew no one. I'm an RN. I'm not rich, You are making all that up to try to prove a point that doesn't exist.
There's wasn't much of what I'd call elitism in Queens or Brooklyn, but people that haven't lived there (or have only done a quick visit) have a skewed perception of NY.
I think this comment articulates why the bubble point is at least somewhat valid. It's about more than just ethnicities and skin color, its about philosophies and ideologies. Thats the problem with the left, they focus way too much on shallow things like race. Most people in NYC THINK the same (as evidenced by voting patterns), even if they dont look the same
That phone return thing is actually really sweet and a good moral and social litmus test. Great example to think of on the fly, the kind of thing I would only think to say looking back when I got home 😂😂😂
Why are the people from the "Heartland" (wherever the F that is) NEVER told they live in a bubble? Because they do live in one. When your only experience with the outside world is a trip to the International House of Pancakes you need to broaden your horizons. And I've visited red stated extensively, even lived in one for a couple of years. I talk from experience, there's a lot nice people in flyover country, but not a lot of flexibility or free thinking.
Maybe the bubble isn't a location, maybe the bubble is actually what separates you from the 1%, mentally, financially and emotionally. It's easy for an old white man to judge people from his tower (literally) when he never experienced poverty or any struggle of that nature.
I’m a Kansan. I’m not about to deny that I live in a bubble. People are obviously going to be out-of-touch with the concerns of people who live a dramatically different lifestyles. New Yorkers don’t care about gas prices. Here in Kansas, gas going up a few cents a gallon can really hurt people’s monthly budget. Kansans don’t care about gentrification. In New York, gentrification is destroying communities. We are out of touch with each other’s struggles because we just don’t have to face them. And issues that are tied to geography tend to disproportionally impact the working class because those are the people who can’t afford to solve their problems by traveling or importing. So the New Yorkers supporting environmental policies that would raise gas prices look cruel and elitist here in Kansas. And the Kansans who support land policies that would evict longtime tenants look cruel and elitist in New York.
Alex Miller looks like she was struggling with holding the phone and signing the card at the same time. I assume he was going to hold it for her while she signed it. He seems like a really nice dude
I find it interesting that the potus that is FROM NYC would call it a bubble. it's kind of like him complaining about celebrities when he is a celebrity
Stephan looks like Billy's supportive, yet confused dad throughout this entire thing, and I'm here for it
Hey Mary C! Im also Mary C
So true! i love it!
So good, I really dont think his bewilderment was an act. Like, "okay, I guess this is what Broadway dreams are made of." Also, I think he thought about offering the lady that spoke about healthcare a job.
I find it fascinating which celebrities humble themselves enough to follow Billy's lead

has a great vocals too

As a non American I always thought it was the LA people that lived in a bubble.
Hieillua LA people certainly are in a bubble. New York is also hypothesized as being in a bubble.
that's why it's called La La Land
they say that about any progressive city
you really don't understand what bubble means, do you?
a 1.2 trillion dollar in raised taxes every year bubble just saying
R.I.P. that poor woman's health insurance :(
Who lost their insurance under Obamacare?
My heart broke for her.
Wermhats Wormhat Most of my friends are actually still viable for health insurance under their parent's insurance plans. That's why I asked the question in the first place, so that I could better understand how such things could happen.
+Woodsy Owl The economy only got better under Obama, in every single way. It got worse under, and because of Bush.

Shout out to the lady in the red jacket - keepin' the integrity real.
Is this the most 'relaxed' video on this channel? haha
why are the people acting like its no big deal meeting Steven Colbert... I would go full teenage fangirl inside
Jane Reznickova because they are newyorkers
Jane Reznickova I totally agree! and I'm sixteen🤘
Jane Reznickova You're cute.
I know!!!!! I would scream OH MY GOD IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH CAN I GET A HUG!!?
In my mind
Because he was amazing 4 years ago, but has become just a liberal patsy... Yeah, that's why babe.
".... golden shower" Jesus can I be her friend?
I love how walking around in bubbles is not weird to NYers
You could do the same thing in L.A. and it would get the same reaction.
Nothing is weird to New Yorkers.
2:40 If Stephen asks for the phone, you give it to him.
he actually grabbed the Pandora's Box😂😂😂

I don’t think it’s a fake coat.
1:32 when the hat came off 😭😂😂

Kind of ironic that Donald Trump was born and raised in the NY elitist bubble.
He's a fake!

@@eduardoarmenta9232 all of you high brow transplants ignore natives from the outer boroughs and treat the lower income folks like they have the plague.
Like srsly how do you interact with random people on the subway?
good point
Yes, because we actually have to deal with problems you New York assholes don't have to deal with. That's what is meant by "New York bubble."
The animator girl in the hat is my favorite!!
The girl at 2:46 reminds me of Sadness from Inside Out
I loved that hug Stephen gave that woman. That was a real hug!!!
1:32 idk why I keep laughing at Stephen's robotic turn to fetch his hat
0:22 Billy's voice-doppelganger found!
"He's opening Pandora's box, and um..."

"What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of Donald trump?" "Golden shower." LOL!!!!!! Wasn't expecting that!
WE NEED MORE STEPHEN
Oh my god. I literally spit my water out at billy’s opening monologue!! 😂!
Can't wait for Colbert to host the Emmys!!!!
He's likely the sharpest comedian there is.
I love colbert
Isn't DT a bubbled New Yorker?
No, he's a human Cheeto.
He's concentrically bubbled, where he doesn't have to interact with the average New Yorker.
youtubeyoutubeyoutube He is god.
some of the answers were pretty deep i'm impressed you should ask these type of questions more often :)
bruh this is actually sad lmao
colbert is tearing up
sunglass guy: ... we're not all rich
billy: well, speak for yourself [rushes away]
The way that first guy immediately started talking to Stephen like he ran into an old coworker at a cocktail party
To Stephen”hi sir how are you good to see you”
To billy “hi”
Lmao I get this treatment everyday.

route99 because the rest of America is that so called bubble. The bubble surrounding New York is unique to the city to some degree

1:31 cap really said allright imma head out
That first guy is the epitome of the New York bubble
"We're not all rich"- guy who lives in the East Village.
I really like the first guy's answer. It was too articulate and truthful for Billy to interrupt, so he just let him make his point.
"in the 18yrs I've existed..."
I could have watched this for the rest of my life
I like the woman in the pink jacket she seems nice
My two favorite people in one video. I ❤️ Colbert.
2:14 the Wayne said it... 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
“Dig a little deeper in your soul, and don’t be such a shallow creep” She artfully gives advice and also DRAGS him

aaww the first guy was very inspired only caught off guard... Billy :(
He actually grabbed Pandora's box. OMG snatched
"I wanna be in a smaller bubble".... if only he knew what was coming
2:40 omg I haven’t laughed this hard in weeks.
5:05 commuting to work during quarantine

3:43 idk what the hell it is about this chick but I found her extremely adorable.
mitch-bittens I know who are talking about. About three sentences in, I thought to myself how charming and seemingly nice and sincere she was.
Because she's intelligent and cute. She looks like wifey
2:40 - 2:45 are the best goddamn seconds in this show.
the woman in 3:42 seems so smart and kind i love her
"what are you studying?"
"animation"
"great"

Wow, that was a great spin Stephen!
"He tried to go back to Comedy Central.." LOL AS IF
