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
He had respect for himself, his family, his people, and his office. Not one scandal. Not one. Such a man. Thank you Congressman Lewis.
👍
Great man! RIP!
Why did I start to cry during his crowd surf? What a beautiful man!
You aren't alone. I can't stop crying.
@@tonymiller6847 ...ME too....tears ...
Whom should her fear
Someone cutting onions in your house too.🖤🌊💙⏰💝🌈🙏
wow i thought i was alone
Who’s watching because John Lewis has sadly now passed. Rest in power John Lewis. ✊
To It's Kate: John Lewis: Rest in *peace.* Better than living in trouble!
Rest in power as we will continue to get in good trouble. ✊🏿
Me!!!
I am watching this and crying at the same time.A real hero just died :(
I am glad that he lived to see how he got millions of people to get into #goodtrouble. Rest in power . You were loved and always will be loved.
lewis crowd surfin is probly the greatest thing ive seen on here in a while
YES!!
yep
OMG...I love iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
I Know
John Lewis was severely beaten on and abut his head with heavy night sticks. Now 50 years later, he is very, very old. He is to be pitied.
I had to come back here after recent news. RIP Rep. John Lewis. May you crowd surf with the angels.
I can just see it now .....
☆John Lewis walks through the Pearly Gates & the Angels see John Lewis enter into Heaven. They rush to meet him forming a crowd around him to welcome him. God looks up to see what's happening & spots the Congressman & calls to him.☆
*God:* "John! Come sit on my Right Hand side where you belong!"
*John Lewis:* "Lord I will come to you, as soon as I can get through this crowd!"
*Archangel Gabriel:* "Don't worry John we got this."
☆The Archangels Gabriel & Michael pick him up. & pass him over to the crowd of Angels who crowd surf him to over to. Gods Right Hand side where he belongs.☆
Here endeth the lesson.
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 Wow. Beautiful imagery
That crowdsurfing at the end made me cry. In terms of graphics, think of the picture of him being beaten, followed by him being upheld by all those arms. What an amazing pair of "panels" and a true testament to the work Lewis has done in his lifetime.
This is a great observation!!!
Rest in peace, Your crown awaits in heaven. 🙏
U better say it!
thats a living legend amd american hero. let him enjoy his life. i love it!!!!
Mr. John Lewis, I salute you for your unwavering courage as you fought for the equality of all people, even in the face of eminent danger. Well done, Sir!! THANK YOU! Rest in peace.
We should all have such courage and love; inspiration from him may help us all to do better. Indeed, Rest in Peace and Power, John Lewis.
Valuable American spirit right there
are u another liberal muslim who came to US 5 minutes ago?
Are you another salty republican bragging about immigration and about how immigrants will ruin the mighty 'murica.
Blea ch :D I like your attitude but I am afraid I don't even believe in God since if there was any then my ancestors wouldn't invade another continent, kill its natives and produce creatures like you so that slavery keeps happening for ever
As an aryan European I like to call people like that lively man the America
You and your friends have been expired for a long time
"A Civil Rights legend" - and a titan of American history. So sad to learn of his passing. No brainer - the Edmund Pettus bridge has to be renamed - and the people can make it happen! Rest in power Congressman John Lewis
He actually asked for its name to remain so that people understand the history, who Edmund Pettus was (A confederate, Grand Dragon of the KKK, and a US Senator), he wants us to remember the dark history he fought against.
He does not want his name on bloody bridge.
I was 7 yrs old.
Marian Regina Snipes Then we should rebuild a new bridge, a better bridge, and name it for him.
A truly great American. RIP John Lewis.
That was so nice to watch.
Unreal when he goes to crowd surf... great feeling. It's not often that Mr. Colbert is so humbled by his guest
The image of him crowdsurfing after just seeing him beaten by police from our country made me want to cry. Progress can happen even when it seems impossible.
We'll continue to hold you up, sir. Rest In Power, Brother John Lewis.
To Joe Human: Rest in peace. May the end of trouble be bestowed upon you. May the light of goodness greet and generate at the resurrection.
I have nothing but respect for this man.
That's because you're stupid.
yankeegrey2810 no. I respect this brother because of his accomplishments. You are the one are stupid.
And why? Because he is a peaceful protester that believes you shouldn't just stand by while something bad happens?
+yankeegrey2810 there's always a few of you
The real question is what can we do to reduce gun violence? The answer is mental health checks and background checks... His answer of gun bans can't work here in the US. Why you may ask? There are over 300 million guns in the US more than any other country. The next two countries Switzerland and Finland have the second and third most guns, and they have some of the least crime in the world. They don't do gun bans, but health/mental/background checks.
Oh my gosh! He actually crowd surfed at the end! oh my gosh! I was like "Please don't drop him! Guys, please don't drop him! He's important!" lol Can't believe he actually crowd surfed xD
I hope I'm crowd surfing at 76.
This was actually pretty moving. I enjoyed this very much
The world lost a gem.
He continues to inspire and will for a very long time. A true HERO, John Lewis!
A salute to a hero and a true warrior.
I've been watching many of the tributes to this great man. Thank you, Mr. Lewis, for laying your life on the line hundreds of times to fight injustices against your people for the soul of America.
Ok, I'm just seeing this and this is the best thing ever. When he crowd surfed it was "Everything". God we've loss a great man. I know death is inevitable, however there are certain people I wish could stay with us forever; John Lewis and Dr. King are on that list. There's something about the originals. #GoodTrouble Heaven is rejoicing! Job well done Soldier you can rest now.🕊🙏
One of the best and last of the Civil Rights Leaders is able to rest and pass the baton on. I encourage everyone to read everything about this man now. Because his true walk in life will not be taught in schools
I am not American,but I was touched by his life and his contribution to American politics and history.
I have never heard about him until his death last month and I cried when he said "get in good trouble".
The power to love is the best quality that one can have .
He was truly a great statesman and an icon to the yong generation.
RIP
Man, I can't believe John Lewis is gone. Rest in peace Sir
This is a treasure. What a great man. The crowd surfing made me smile.
This video was so nice, I thought it was Canadian.
+
You're awesome
Am canadian, can confirm I was bamboozled
Sadly, Sushant, Canada has some big horrible issues, too, but they're just MUCH smaller, about 1/10 of the USA population and less than the state of California, yet the actual acreage is close to equal. They have a lot of the world fooled; they have big racism (absurd that thousands of Confederate flags fly in rural Ontario, for instance) and environmental horrors ongoing, but it's spread out far more making it not nearly as confrontational. Global awareness is more important now because our global population has doubled in 50 years. Canada has never had anyone of the stature of John Lewis. (btw, I have spent years in Nepal and India, too) All One ~ ONE LOVE
We read his graphic novels in class and as seniors in the IB program we thought our teacher was going crazy but to be honest it was one of the most powerful things I've ever read. I have so much respect for John Lewis
lol i dont think colbert thought Lewis actually knew what he was talking about when he asked if he wanted to crowd surf n lewis just immediately said "yup!"
I tear up every time I see that man and think of all that he has been through. I can't express how good it feels to see him crowdsurfing, gleeful as a child
I don't think Congressman Lewis needed a cognitive test..
John Lewis is such an incredible man, it brings me to tears that we’ve lost him.
You may be cool. but you will never be Congressman Jon Lewis crowd-surfing on TV cool
Awesome interview
70something years old and crowd surfing...............I'm proud that he is my Rep in Georgia. Give em' hell John.
RIP to this titan or a man.
I did not expect that to happen. He was flying!
I have some serious respect for that man.
The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.
Much Love for Congressman John Lewis!! He is my Hero VOTE AMERICA!!! Vote "Blue!"
This my first time seeing this clip. The Great Congressman JOHN LEWIS crowd surfing is just magnificent, because he is the civil rights leader that should be crowd surfing!!!! We have had and now lost one of the most poignant men in the Civil Rights Movement. I surely thank Congressman John Lewis for all of his work of getting in Good Trouble for our communities, nation, and the world.
I respect his concept of "good trouble!"
God bless this man! We need more ppl like this! Luv him!
Unforgettable first beaten to the ground. Now physically carry above the audience. He arrived to the promised land no doubt. He finally got recognized before he departed. Man God bless his soul
RIP Mr. John Lewis!!! You were a peaceful, get in good trouble, humble, kind soul. God/gates of heaven is waiting, with open arms🙏🏼💜🤲
Amazing man, amazing interview, and it ended with crowd surfing. It doesn't get any better than this!
We must.keep getting in good trouble. Because we are here and this our right. See soon do something.
Watching this brings a smile to my face as I remember a TRUE american hero. There are few people that have gotten in more #GoodTrouble
As if I didn't like this man enough already, he decides to crowd surf.
The world lost a gem.

Thank you John Lewis for your #goodtrouble Your journey in life is an inspiration that should teach us all. Wonderful interview.
John Lewis, the civil rights leader and congressman who died on July 17, wrote this essay shortly before his death: Opinion | John Lewis: Together, You Can Redeem the Soul of Our Nation
While my time here has now come to an end, I want you to know that in the last days and hours of my life you inspired me. You filled me with hope about the next chapter of the great American story when you used your power to make a difference in our society. Millions of people motivated simply by human compassion laid down the burdens of division. Around the country and the world you set aside race, class, age, language and nationality to demand respect for human dignity.
That is why I had to visit Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, though I was admitted to the hospital the following day. I just had to see and feel it for myself that, after many years of silent witness, the truth is still marching on.
Emmett Till was my George Floyd. He was my Rayshard Brooks, Sandra Bland and Breonna Taylor. He was 14 when he was killed, and I was only 15 years old at the time. I will never ever forget the moment when it became so clear that he could easily have been me. In those days, fear constrained us like an imaginary prison, and troubling thoughts of potential brutality committed for no understandable reason were the bars.
Though I was surrounded by two loving parents, plenty of brothers, sisters and cousins, their love could not protect me from the unholy oppression waiting just outside that family circle. Unchecked, unrestrained violence and government-sanctioned terror had the power to turn a simple stroll to the store for some Skittles or an innocent morning jog down a lonesome country road into a nightmare. If we are to survive as one unified nation, we must discover what so readily takes root in our hearts that could rob Mother Emanuel Church in South Carolina of her brightest and best, shoot unwitting concertgoers in Las Vegas and choke to death the hopes and dreams of a gifted violinist like Elijah McClain.
Like so many young people today, I was searching for a way out, or some might say a way in, and then I heard the voice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on an old radio. He was talking about the philosophy and discipline of nonviolence. He said we are all complicit when we tolerate injustice. He said it is not enough to say it will get better by and by. He said each of us has a moral obligation to stand up, speak up and speak out. When you see something that is not right, you must say something. You must do something. Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help build what we called the Beloved Community, a nation and world society at peace with itself.
Ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble. Voting and participating in the democratic process are key. The vote is the most powerful nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society. You must use it because it is not guaranteed. You can lose it.
You must also study and learn the lessons of history because humanity has been involved in this soul-wrenching, existential struggle for a very long time. People on every continent have stood in your shoes, through decades and centuries before you. The truth does not change, and that is why the answers worked out long ago can help you find solutions to the challenges of our time. Continue to build union between movements stretching across the globe because we must put away our willingness to profit from the exploitation of others.
Though I may not be here with you, I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe. In my life I have done all I can to demonstrate that the way of peace, the way of love and nonviolence is the more excellent way. Now it is your turn to let freedom ring.
When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression and war. So I say to you, walk with the wind, brothers and sisters, and let the spirit of peace and the power of everlasting love be your guide.

What a soft spoken sweet individual John Lewis was. RIP humble soul, Your memory will live on
Comments section for this video is so civil!
Great work by Mr. Colbert during this segment.
we need more congressman like him. Very inspiring.
At 4:38 AM when i am watching this. There are currently at least 13 racists to have watched this clip.. (The Dislikes) Good show my good man. Carry on, Sir.
Now 59.
Make that 93 dislikers
Good thing you are stereotyping people by only knowing one thing about them
Only one left alive who spoke with MLK when he gave the "I have a dream" Speech. Respect
John Lewis is a legend! What a great American hero!
John Lewis is "All talk, talk, talk - NO ACTION" -Donald Trump
...John Lewis is a living legend. The Man :)
Love you John. We need people like you to change. No more need to explain. +Change is the only way for peace. Prosperity, and advancement for society. God Bless the earth we live on.
Throughout this video, all I kept on saying is: "yes!" up to a culmination point with that crowd surf.
What a wonderful man.. crowd surfing... ah.. when I grow up...
Ah, Congressman Lewis. His face while crowdsurfing is precious.
Excellent, thank you for the inspiration! Heard you, Congressman Lewis and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the March on Washington August 28, 1963 as a little girl.
Ladies and gents, THIS is what a TRUE AMERICAN HERO looks like. RIP Rep Lewis. We owe you everything.
What an incredibly inspiration guy. How haven't I heard about him before?!
You live under a rock, buddy.
Go check out the videos from his sit-in!
follow politics?
Well my friend you just asked the question
Don't give up on finding the answer
James, if you're seriously interested in this remarkable man, I HIGHLY suggest you read his book "Walking With The Wind." It's one thing to learn of the civil rights struggle, it's another to read it from the first person. He LIVED the history. I heard him speak years ago and he utterly blew me away. I raced out to get his book and it truly is incredible.
A HUMBLE AND FAITHFUL SERVANT
WELL DONE !!!
His favorite song was "Happy" by Pharrell. There are clips of him dancing to Happy at an office party. He kept his simple childlike joy until the day he left us.
Wonderful that Mr John
Lewis was carried across the group of people.
Rest ln PEACE
Mr John Lewis
You will be Missed.
Rest in power and peace, you dear, brilliant national treasure. 😢✊❤
I totally see John Lewis crowd surfing his way into Heaven. I can just see it now .....
☆John Lewis walks through the Pearly Gates & the Angels see John Lewis enter into Heaven. They rush to meet him forming a crowd around him to welcome him. God looks up to see what's happening & spots the Congressman & calls to him.☆
*God:* "John! Come sit on my Right Hand side where you belong!"

☆The Archangels Gabriel & Michael pick up Joh Lewis. & pass him over to the crowd of Angels who crowd surf him to over to. Gods Right Hand side where he belongs.☆
Here endeth the lesson.
Absolute legend. Men like him were literally willing to die for what they believed in. Some did.
Thank you, Sir, for all you have done and continue to do for Our Civil Rights...=]
07:58 I thought it was euphemism till it happened
LOL
man I hope they didn't drop him.....crows surfin also starts well till you hit the cluster of weaklings who just can't hold him up
Rest In Power John Lewis.
Thank You for all the _Good Trouble_ you got into. For, us.
#GoodTrouble
Fighting for civil rights while not seeing where Bernie was? Hijole.
Why would he have met him? Sanders was a student protestor, admirable but pretty low level.
It didn't stop John Lewis making a speech and using this specifically to attack Bernie Sanders though, did it? A man with more honour would have simply said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Mr Sanders back then. But I am happy that he made a stand as a young man, I see he has a good voting record on civil rights, and I hope that I inspired him." Mr Lewis framed his ignorance of Mr Sanders as an accusation instead, designed to denigrate him and bizarrely went on to uphold his preferred candidate as a participant in the Civil Rights Movement, confusing her with her husband Bill, it seems, who did protest, like Bernie. Hillary at that time was... a Goldwater Girl.
And in high school...do want people to judge you on your political views at 16 when you're 68?
He already clarified his comment as not insinuating that Sanders didn't participate, but that he just never crossed paths with Sanders, whereas he did meet and work with the Clintons, starting a continuing relationship that explains his support for Hillary Clinton.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/13/john-lewis-congressional-black-caucus-bernie-sanders-civil-rights-movement
Also, it's untrue that Clinton was uninvolved in civil rights activism during her college days.
www.nytimes.com/2007/09/05/us/politics/05clinton.html
I think it's clear that John Lewis' endorsement shouldn't be taken as an indicator of which candidate has a better record of civil rights activism (both Clinton and Sanders were involved for a short time as students, though Sanders was undoubtedly a bigger pain in the ass for the police), but just a matter of who he happened to meet and work with. It's far from unbiased.
All matter of Civil Rights leaders from the 60's onwards had a multitude of opinions about the differences between Bernie and Hillary. To think they should saddle up next to one or the other is to ignore the complexity of political action.
Lewis probably has a more nuanced understanding of these matters than we do. Give him some credit.
I wish we had politicians this smooth.
Rest In Peace, you magnificent man.
Aww that was a gr8 moment .he is now discussing everything with our king Jesus. Rip your work is done in this life.your legacy is inspiring future generation💒
RIP John Lewis. I just hope that we can make you proud one day. You gave your life for this country. Least we can do is honor your legacy
A giant among men. Rest easy big guy🥰
this comedian is so nice to John Lewis, and validates the Quality of who John Lewis is his middle name should be SWEETNESS he did it he crowd surfed in the comedians audience, that is so adorable, then the comedian says so how was it?
Seeing John Lewis crowsurf put a big grin on my face. Just what the week needed.
John Lewis-- a true leader and inspiration. We have a RIGHT to protest and he certainly brought this to front and center. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST.
Im humbled born in 1956 can remember mommas tears. Adults business!
what an amazing man!!! fucking crowd surfing epic!!
Probably one of the best Colbert videos I've seen! Ever! Great interview (I didn't know about this guy), great ending.
Colbert crushes it - again - and Congressman John Lewis is a truly inspiring human being. I actually started cheering when he started crowdsurfing in the Ed Sullivan Theater!
John Lewis!
Crowdsurfing!
Never wouldve guess he'd mention Troy, AL. I'd be surprised if most people even knew there was a Troy, AL.
At the end where colbert lifted his fists up in the air..... full of joy. This move made me laugh. Fallons fake laughing is nothing against that.
i can't believe he actually crowd surfed loool
I can't imagine sitting down and talking with that man and telling him to his face that he's wrong about anything. He's never loud, but... his voice is just so intense, and his gaze is just as determined.
I Love this wonderful man!! Rest In Heaven Mr. John Robert Lewis!!
