speaking as a teacher I can verify, that this is how amazing children's imagination can be. So many clever ideas. These kids are wonderful. Let'em shine!
Completely. So impressed and pleasantly surprised at how the final result turned out. Ava’s been doing this since she was 3 and I’m so glad her talent is getting noticed!! ❤
We’re all thankful that we got to see your fantastic daughter and were allowed to enjoy her naturally gifted creativity! I hope she will still be able to tap into this great talent when she grows up and the boundaries of society will try to infringe that limitless imagination (it always does)! So please… Protect her from those ‘limitations of every day life’ as much as you can, so her imaginative talent can run free! (This might sound ‘heavier’ than it’s meant, but…) The community NEEDS free spirits like this!
I love that Melanie and some other kids were skeptical about a “ghost” being responsible for the paper garland falling. “That could have just happened automatically…”
I've read so many kid's stories and some of them weren't mine...NO they don't. Not for an adult audience. They don't know how punchlines and tension archs work. And their stories are weird. Because they're weird. I said it. They're fantastically weird and none of it may end up making any sense. It gets funnier with drug abuse but that goes for sooo many dumb things...
Maxwell did a very good job of drawing Freddy from the video game Five Nights at Freddy's! I recognized it right away. And the idea of a murderous automatous robot at a kids pizza place having another murderous serial killer inside adds extra layers of horror to two already scary properties. Great job!
Getting that full blown trailer after joking for hours with kids felt like a Last Week Tonight payoff, so my jaws dropped when John actually came on. And laughed when dragons was imagined
The segment with the kids was outstanding. You guided their project into a workable scenario and still let them have total freedom with the script. I loved it!
I find watching collaboration highly entertaining in the first place. This was off the charts! I loved how the adults turned the kids' ideas into something so tangible. And Stephen was so respectful with the kids, unlike some comedians that turn everything they say or do into a joke. My favorite was Tess; she really embodied the meaning of spooky! 🙂
Stephen is a master at taking control and steering the kids while seemingly being almost passive and letting them run wild. Not a second of that bit was wasted. Through my personal medium and Ouija Board, I was able to get a reading on the movie. Siskel and Ebert gave it two thumbs up.
That was actually awesome. Credit to Colbert's production team, especially, for making that look like more than just some cheesy 'late night' sketch and putting out something that seemed like a lot of work was put into
@Chelsea Lindsay Was it supposed to be a mashup of Freddy Krueger and Freddy from five nights? Because a five nights bear that enters your dreams to kill you would be a pretty cool concept.
This was awesome! This needs to be a regular segment because these kids were fantastic. When they all started singing believer I couldn’t stop smiling because my kids also love imagine dragons and sing it with their whole heart too 😆
Kids say the darndest things, and Stephen and his crew did a fantastic job bringing it to life. Great talent is on the rise,and a memory they can look back and say they were the creators.
Can someone please tell Stephen that Maxwell is being way more clever than anyone gave him credit for? The "Freddy" he drew is the main character from "Five Nights at Freddy's" (scary computer game) and he has the actor who played "Freddy Krueger" operating that creep-fest of an animatronic bear. 😲 Maxwell deserves some props for being that meta!
The team outdid themselves with this sketch. It may not be an actual movie but those kids are probably going to love seeing something they imagined in a trailer. I feel like this exercise just birthed some future comedians, actors, and writers. Bravo. 👏
There's a little girl in the neighborhood who keeps bringing flowers to school lately. A lovely gesture for her teachers, but ask why she brought them or where she got them, and you get "Grandpa died." 🤯😳
So adorable. These kids remind us on how much we lose our creativity as we get older. Society and other influences tell us to conform, fit into a box, stop thinking for ourselves. We shut down, think as others and it's truly sad. That Ava, I hope she never changes. A brilliant mind there.
The John Oliver part was absolutely hilarious!!! He shouts “Hello!!!” and waves frantically at the detective while she looks though the binoculars lmao!!!
The look on Stephen's face was incredibly funny. I thought everyone knew about Five Nights at Freddy's, until I realized not everyone has a teenage kid.
The kid was just like “It’s…his name is Freddy. Ya know, Freddy? Sir, you must surely know who Freddy is. He’s FREDDY.” And I mean, he’s not wrong! Stephen’s just a bit too old to be in the know!
That was absolutely amazing. Whoever put that together, using all the kids' suggestions blended in? That person/writers are genius; those children were both creative and articulate in their descriptions, and result was great!
Imagine Dragons doing the possessed dance...creative to the smallest detail! This is the second most wonderful spontaneous theater I've seen in October '22. It seems it has been forever since such delightful, absurdist ideas a la David Byrne, Pina Bausch and Jim Henson were offered up to audiences. This was utterly fantastic!
This made me laugh so much! With everything in the world going on it’s beautiful to see the innocence of a child and the humor of Stephen Colbert make such a good sketch. Well done
I wish I could have seen their faces while watching their brand new, EPIC, Hollywood movie!!!! 🎃😎🤩💃🏻🕺🏻 Those awesome kids were so freaking adorable, with brilliantly beautiful minds to boot!! ❤🏆🥇 Thank you for making such a magical memories for them!!! This healed my heart. Much love!!! ❤🙏🏻💐🥳
Watching the kids come up with a scary movie was priceless! Inventive loved the trailer you got to have a light saber and a can of Hairspray. Stephen is a kid himself he fit right in.
I want to see that movie! Thank you Stephen for listening seriously to the kids and making them elaborate their story in a way that was uniquely them. You really are a kid at heart you beautiful soul. And the team went all in for the trailer! Wow

@@Traveling_TrixieBelle I can just imagine him: “Hey kids, do want to read a series of books where good battles evil? I have the books for you. Written by Tolkien…” 😂😂😂
I had an uncle like this. Sadly he passed away about 10 years ago and I miss him terribly. He was a lot of fun. I think it helped that he was basically a kid at heart.
OMGEE, THIS IS AMAZING! Ava had SO many gems, including: "it's probably just my dead grandmother touching it." And Stephen getting so scared of it falling! ALL of these kids are amazing! "That monkey is looking straight into my eyes." "GO TESS!" 😂 "you read my mind!" "I can hear you." And then Ava claps! 45 minutes later.....and the clip was AWEsome!!!! SO GOOD! 🤣👏🏻👏🏻
My dead grandmother spent several hours haunting me in her condo, two days after she died. Not in a creepy way; more a reassuring way, gently rocking a chair that was older than me and softly stroking my hand. She was 106. I'm pretty sure she spent her first postmortem day haunting my mom, but she was too distracted to notice.
Bravo!!!! I'm sure the kids were estatic to see their story come to life on screen. Great job to your team. Loved that Imagine Dragon added their part. This was really cute!
This was hilarious! He's so great with the kids. Let me tell you...the minds of kids can be terrifically terrifying. 😂 I loved the trailer and would totally go see that movie! 🤩❤️
"Imagine sword...imagine light saber and of course imagine dragons"... a shouty screamy delivery could make it go anime so good, like a transformation sequence about to go down!
Why does this movie look/sound better than most of the scary movies I've seen?😅😱 Children are so creative. This was great, I always like the kid segments!
This is now one of my favorite videos ever 😭 thanks for making all of these wonderful kids’ creative ideas come to life!!!! The throwing a 2 month old baby in a vat of toxic waste is intense and hilarious. Incredibly scary stuff. Hoping inside goodbye: hell-o gets a sequel this halloween 😆
This is absolutely hilarious! 🤣 Kids' imaginations are the best! Thank you Stephen and friends for making their movie come alive! Would love to see more of this, maybe a Christmas version. 🎅🏼🎄
Okay but can we talk about how Ava's idea is actually great. Ice cream truck music out of nowhere and then lights dim and you see a toothy grin. ''shivers''
That's actually a really scary premise. Good going kids, that was awesome! How the heck is Colbert able to pull these actors and musicians together ❤. Love it!!!!!
Like--- I. Can't. Even. Explain HOW FUNNYYYYYY this was!!! 🤣🤣🤣The kids💗 Steven C.💗 the trailer💗 BRILLIANT! Definitely saving this video to watch over and over again A+++ for The Late Show, thank you!!!!

Yeah she's brilliant and a natural born collaborator. She just wants what's best for the story.
What a great movie! I love it!
Yes she is amazing but all of these kids are.
I love Ava's story pitch.. and Tess's dance is hilarious.
She's gonna make a great producer, like now. The future? Idonno. Prolly
This is exactly what kids need! People to listen to their ideas and encourage them to be creative. Brought a smile to my face
This is soooooo funny and all of these children can write better stories than I've seen in a very long time.
It was Awesome!

same for me. i just started and am like "danggg ava. thats some SCP scary ass shit right there. this girl going to grow up to be next steven king.

I would watch a reality show that was just...every week a new gaggle of kids was goaded into brainstorming a different crazy movie. Loved this!
I'd go as far as to say I'd even PAY for that
i don't think you will find many like these guys likely the quieter ones had details to terrifying to describe -
agreed!
If you like this then Check out bill cosby's old show "kids say the darndest things" it's like this format.
This wouldn't be a "Reality Show", it's an "Imaginary Show".
Great premise though.

Be careful. If they weren’t laughing, then one of them may have been possessed … by No One.
this actually made my day. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!
The John Oliver part was absolutely hilarious!!! He shouts “Hello!!!” and waves frantically at the detective while she looks though the binoculars lmao!!!
The confusion over 5 nights at Freddie’s is hilarious
Yeah, the kid didn’t realize he needed to talk down the Stephen just a little bit and explain who Freddie was. Made me chuckle.
The look on Stephen's face was incredibly funny. I thought everyone knew about Five Nights at Freddy's, until I realized not everyone has a teenage kid.
Which Freddie's?
Ok. I thought it was just me. I kept saying to the screen 5 nights...at the Freddie part
The kid was just like “It’s…his name is Freddy. Ya know, Freddy? Sir, you must surely know who Freddy is. He’s FREDDY.”
And I mean, he’s not wrong! Stephen’s just a bit too old to be in the know!
"So it's an angel fighting a demon... that's a classic match up."

OMGEE, THIS IS AMAZING! Ava had SO many gems, including: "it's probably just my dead grandmother touching it." And Stephen getting so scared of it falling! ALL of these kids are amazing! "That monkey is looking straight into my eyes." "GO TESS!" 😂 "you read my mind!" "I can hear you." And then Ava claps! 45 minutes later.....and the clip was AWEsome!!!! SO GOOD! 🤣👏🏻👏🏻
My dead grandmother spent several hours haunting me in her condo, two days after she died. Not in a creepy way; more a reassuring way, gently rocking a chair that was older than me and softly stroking my hand. She was 106. I'm pretty sure she spent her first postmortem day haunting my mom, but she was too distracted to notice.
Mr. Colbert, this is such an extraordinary gift that you have given these children. Thank you!
Bravo!!!! I'm sure the kids were estatic to see their story come to life on screen. Great job to your team. Loved that Imagine Dragon added their part. This was really cute!
This was hilarious! He's so great with the kids. Let me tell you...the minds of kids can be terrifically terrifying. 😂
I loved the trailer and would totally go see that movie! 🤩❤️

This is like improve.
"Peter is evil." "Yes, and. . ."
That whole experience was outstanding! You gave those kids so much inspiration, there just might be a movie/script writer, or two, in the making.
I can't express how much I loved this. Those kids must be over the moon
That was great, lol. I especially loved the hairy gassy embodiment of NoName. And tossing the baby out the window.
"Imagine sword...imagine light saber and of course imagine dragons"... a shouty screamy delivery could make it go anime so good, like a transformation sequence about to go down!
Awww it makes me so happy to see how nicely those kids interact with each other. All of them are so creative!
Why does this movie look/sound better than most of the scary movies I've seen?😅😱 Children are so creative. This was great, I always like the kid segments!
Absolutely pure creativity...most of the film and TV industry needs to have these/all kids pitch ideas.
This is now one of my favorite videos ever 😭 thanks for making all of these wonderful kids’ creative ideas come to life!!!! The throwing a 2 month old baby in a vat of toxic waste is intense and hilarious. Incredibly scary stuff. Hoping inside goodbye: hell-o gets a sequel this halloween 😆
The thought of no ice cream is pretty scary...
This is absolutely hilarious! 🤣 Kids' imaginations are the best! Thank you Stephen and friends for making their movie come alive! Would love to see more of this, maybe a Christmas version. 🎅🏼🎄
Ok that was brillantly fun and entertaining from the kids storyline to bringing it to real life screen.
Would love to see more
Okay but can we talk about how Ava's idea is actually great. Ice cream truck music out of nowhere and then lights dim and you see a toothy grin. ''shivers''
"The Demon is the blurry one."🤣
When I'm watching Colbert in 2030, I would love to see this group re-convene to do a replay of that brainstorming piece of brilliance.
That's actually a really scary premise. Good going kids, that was awesome! How the heck is Colbert able to pull these actors and musicians together ❤. Love it!!!!!
Like--- I. Can't. Even. Explain HOW FUNNYYYYYY this was!!! 🤣🤣🤣The kids💗 Steven C.💗 the trailer💗 BRILLIANT! Definitely saving this video to watch over and over again A+++ for The Late Show, thank you!!!!
Dude, Stephen, one of the best monologues ever. Kudos to your writing and production staff. Good God, I'm crying, man 😀
These kids are brilliant, it’s great to watch their ideas are pouring out. Stephen’s comedy genius made it all come together fantastically!
