'The Mooch' is already one of the most entertaining characters in the white house, and he's only been in the show for a week! *realises its reality* *cries inside*
Deformed Goldfish As a Canadian... please do not shut this reality down. While it may horrify and sadden you Americans, it is comedy gold for the rest of the world!
4 years later and I'm still coming back to this one. Everything about it is so on point and the recurring stab joke was funny and unexpected every single time!
I know it's very selfish of me, but I was a little sad when the Mooch got the boot, just because I wanted to see Colbert do the front-stab at least a few more times.
Right?!?! I say, at least let him do Friday Press Conferences. C'mon on... it's Friday. It's the day where we let our hair down, loosen our collars, which is good for... FRONT STAB!... FRONT STAB!... shhh....sshhhh...
Some people would say it detracts from the real issues. But fuck it. I say if comedy was all it took for us to forget all our principle I say let the world burn.
Can't believe how many different quotes there are to describe the ridiculousness of our current government but THAT one should be a hashtag/meme/go viral or WHATEVER!!!!!!! Thanks for being here and for a perfect quote that truly totally sums it up.
If a guy worked for me and told he's a front stabber. Insulting his higher ups with... extreme profanities, threatening to fire everyone who works there, sending stupid tweets which are incorrect... I would fire the guy immediatelly! Why are people ok with this?
As long as the Mooch respects the Don's family, he's just takin' out the garbage, if ya know what I mean. If he was disrespectful to Ivanka or Jared or Donald Junior, then that would be a serious problem and the Don don't like problems anymore than he likes leakers. Nice country ya got here. Be a shame if somethin' happened to it.
This is the Gold Standard of topical comedy. Less then 24 hours to write this, subject, character and delivery are all perfect. It's hilarious and memorable. In the blink of an eye Anthony Scaramucci became the Front Stab Guy and then days later he was gone. Hats off to Stephen Colbert. Political comedy never gets better than this.
+Margot Gorske: And then we would have the Vice-Dumbass to deal with, and he may be no better. In fact, it makes me wonder just where Mike Pence is with this 3-ring circus going on. Unless he's trying to do something truly "Presidential" and soothe N. Korea's ruffled feathers and itchy nuke-fingers, unlike Trump, who can only saber-rattle.
Thank God you are getting your wish!! Looks like the idiotic treasonous con is now being officially impeached and no way can anyone defend this train wreck of a man. Hes a shitty person thru and thru. His lifelong assholeness is finally being exposed. Trump couldn't care less about America or the people.
This guy (Scaramucci) is proof that Harvard is not any better a school than any other. He graduated from there and acts and talks like this? I love how he claims as a Wall Street guy he likes to stab from the front. There is no bigger collection of backstabbers, pickpockets, and poisoners than the lawyers and investors on Wall Street.
I wish more American reporters would act like that BBC woman. She cornered him until his only out was to go for a personal attack on her. Which is pretty pathetic/childish on his part.
It was such a ridiculous, puerile attack too ("Now _you're_ sounding elitist.") The White House Director of Communications using he-who-smelt-it-dealt-it 'logic'. 🙄
+A Ibrahim Not just cheeseburgers... Trump also eats pizza! Please look at this cheeseburger! Ignore the trust-fund, the prep schools, the strings his dad pulled so Donald could transfer to an Ivy League college, the fact that Trump's money is inherited... and the fact that Trump would be far wealthier than he is today if he hadn't touched his trust fund, and if - instead of investing in Trump-branded ventures - he had left his inheritance alone.
i love how much fun stephen's having with the 'Mooch'! this guy's going to be every bit as entertaining as italian mobster from the movies and i can't wait to see what else stephen does with it.
50Sense but it's a HUGE reality show, it's the best reality show that ever existed. Period. Anyone who says otherwise is a disgrace to the American republic and they are not patriotic because they are FAKE NEWS and they are spreading LIES to hurt the administration that is definitely doing good, lots of good, so much good, unbelievably good. We are doing a lot of good in the WH, I mean, we're eating pizza and burgers. Everyone who has less than a seven figure bank account is an elitist, they think they're like everyone else but they're not, they're not like any of the people I know. I'm fighting for the people I know... TRUE Americans! I know better than anyone else the American people because I am the American people, I am just like everyone else, like everyone I know, and I will fight to protect them!
50Sense 👍It's so riculous-he says/does something assinine every day.I laugh about it on here but it really upsets me deep.Our great nation is looking like dumb bafoons who voted in a half-wit with no class what-so--ever.He's making us look very bad by allowing him to stay in office...he's doing so much harm in the world...he belongs back to his reality show...👍
I do have a -albeit optimistic- theory, he is flattering Trump on purpose. It's a known fact that as long as you 'praise the Don' he'll see you as a 'great guy'...I think he's showing us how unhinged The Trump and his team are...I hope that the guy who's worth millions is an insider, determined to destroy the deranged administration from the inside. Nah, seems too unrealistic.
But but but wait! There's more! 1.} The 'Mooch' isn't even officially on the White House staff yet! 2.} The $85 Million disclosure is the deal in progress that he is working out with the country of ... China...to sell his business before he can LEGALLY be a member of the dear leader's Abomination...oops, I meant administration. So, what 'firing' power does he actually have? Zero! Peace all!
kijiji93 And as a result of this descent into madness, the American media focus more and more on things that don't really matter. Like the "mooch"'s latest crazy talk and the presidents tweets. Meanwhile, in politics, some really bad deals are going down. Or, they try to make them go down.
kijiji93 ....some announcer on tv just stated, "everyone thinks that America is such a wonderful place to live. Huge homes on beautiful green lawns....happy people living terrific lives...". I actually laughed out loud !! Who the f**k thinks THAT ?! When I see ads for vacationing in the US, I think, "geez, you'd have to be REALLY stupid to want to go THERE !!"
The "mooch" is AWESOME! I mean, finally something good comes out of this TV show! His character is well-put together, and very... wait... HE'S REAL!?!?!?! AWWWW F****
I just came back from McDonald's at 3:30 AM like the degenerate I am and I'm looking for something to watch while I eat, and Colbert's monologue was uploaded 30 seconds ago. *wipes away tears* "You da real MVP"
Whenever I need a laugh, I come back and watch this! I can never not laugh at Colbert's "front-stabbing" impressions, let alone, Jon Batiste's reaction to the quote Mooch is now the most famous for saying! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 In other words, this monologue has aged *timelessly* (and that is still true, *despite* the fact that barely a week after this, the Mooch had already been fired)!
Until recently (1 year ago), I NEVER watched TV except to keep myself abreast on current affairs. I really do try to stay informed & listen to both sides of an argument before deciding how I feel/react to a situation. I really don't care what news organizations 'opinions' are. I can think for myself & with some true research, try to see past the bias. But, I have to tell you....I am HOOKED on Stephen now. I find him funny-informed-witty-humble (OK. Somewhat, humble) & very engaging without being too crass. I LOVE the show....
Supreme Overlord Yeah, we know. It's called a joke. On a slightly unrelated note, does anyone know what the hell Goldman Sachs is? Because I hear the name thrown around a lot and after looking them up I have no idea what they do.
Jawel Zimbabwe Goldman Sachs are a bank. People give them their money to hold onto, and in their offices they play around with the money to make more money so they can stuff it down their shirt pockets.
Easily one of the funniest monologues around. The subject matter helps massively but the delivery is top notch. I kinda wish the Mooch would have stuck around a little longer but it was only ever going to be a wham bam thank you ma'am kinda thing!
Every American should be mortified that this is considered acceptable in their government. If Americans don't change something they will lose what little respect they have left worldwide. As a concerned neighbour I feel really bad for the rational respectful Americans who oppose this awful administration.
I love the face Colbert makes when he's imitating Scaramucci: dead eyes, fake smile, no lips. Just slightly disappointed bc I'd been waiting for Colbert to mention how Scaramucci: (A) deleted the #Reince45 tweet and then (B) lied and said that he wasn't accusing Priebus of leaking... and he had included the Reince hashtag to show that he wanted Priebus to work with him to stop the info flowing from the white house.
"Scaramuccia (literally "little skirmisher"), also known as Scaramouche or Scaramouch, is a stock clown character of the Italian commedia dell'arte (comic theatrical arts). The role combined characteristics of the zanni (servant) and the Capitano (masked henchman). Usually attired in black Spanish dress and burlesquing a don, he was often beaten by Harlequin for his boasting and cowardice."
"Scaramouche entertains the audience by his "grimaces and affected language". Salvator Rosa says that Coviello (like Scaramouche) is "sly, adroit, supple, and conceited".
I looked up the exact same thing a few months ago, when I saw the character on the new season of Samurai Jack called Scaramouche. I was like "Wow, what a fitting name for that character". So now we have an orange, blonde-wig-wearing Aku in the White House, and his servant Scaramucci. Where's our Samurai Jack to go back in time and defeat Aku before this whole thing ever happened, lol? Please?
I'm sorry, but can someone please find some ACTUAL adults to run the country please? I think replacing this administration with an entire brigade of newborn babies would actually involve less shit and diaper-changing. Oh, and how I WISH I was fucking kidding.
kissfan7 Remind you of anyone? "I'm not a puppet. You're the puppet." The Mooch is baby Trump, which I thought impossible because Trump's already far worse than any normal toddler.
I WILL DRAIN THE SWAMP... People never listen and get so excited and bring them to the White House (unintelligible) People were so excited couldn't hear that
I half expect DeNiro to show up at the White House as Scaramucci's long lost goodfella uncle who slaps him across the face and puts him in line. You can't make this crazy train up!
Brett Jacobson They should lure Joe Pesci out of retirement. The Mooch is like a real (My Cousin) Vinnie. Or not real - Trump loves misdirection so it wouldn't surprise me if he was an actor!
FacheChanteDeux fucking racist. All it takes is a vowel at the end of someone's name and every fucking boring yuppie goes mad. He's a Wall Street broker, not some fucking goomba.
This is Colbert's funniest monologue I've ever seen. I've lost count of how many times I've watched it. John Baptist's reaction to Bannon's c**k joke is priceless!😂
*This shit is better then any comedy show and it's amazing to see American political system,and I'm not even an American*. *Good luck American people*.
And to think that we're still in Trump's first year as President. We have 4 years of comedy gold to look forward to. The Mooch is the best character on tv right now. He came out of left field too! He randomly showed up, eyyyyy! Front stab! Badda bing badda boom! I swear, they need to make a movie about this sh!t when it's all over.
Turkish Guy - I've been laughing for the last 10 minutes and no sign of stopping soon. You nailed it! I'm addicted to this clusterf@#k. When this is all over I'm going to need therapy so as to cope with the withdrawal and a movie might just be the cathartic that I will need, lol.
I could watch Colbert doing his Mooch bits over and over again. They're so well done!! Has me dying every time. "I'm somebody's little boy, be nice to me"
No no no wait, Bargerland. It's: "You talkin to me? You talkin’ to me You talkin’ to me? Well then who the hell else are you talkin’ to? You talkin’ to me? Well I’m the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you’re talkin’ to? " (Robert de Niro as Taxi Driver :-) I think after Anthony resigned he would be THE best choice for "Taxi Driver II"... and of course Robert de Niro should then take his place in the WH. "Wanna leak, wanna leak, wanna leak? Well, then let's go on the balcony, don't want blood stains on the carpet..."
Stephen’s Mooch material is so funny. Anytime I need cheering up I dip into some front-stabbing and I’m instantly filled with joy. Can you imagine if the Mooch had lasted more than 11 precious days? Mooch 2024!
This is the best monologue he has ever done! I completely lost it at "stab you with my gun!" I've watched this three times already. ~ They smile in your face / all the time they want to take your place / the front stabbers
I love Stephen and how he is not afraid to tell it like it is .. I will always support him ! unlike Jimmy F who tried to "normalize" Trump by touching his hair.
Hmmm before the elections Stephen's monologues were not entirely political, these events have made it that way , Stephen chooses to talk about it, Jimmy does not. Why have politicians on Fallon's show then? Why talk to Trump like if you like him then go on an award show and talk ill of him? To me that is flip flopping. Aside from that I dislike how Fallon tells everyone he "loves" them or how he fake laughs at some people's jokes it just seems disingenuous.
ismael1989 Jimmy is a nice guy. He doesn't insult anyone, he keeps his political opinion to himself and also... why wouldn't he have Trump on his show. The ratings would be really high. In the end, everyone insulted him for acting normal around Trump. It's not as though Stephen was that rude to Trump when he was there. If you're gonna hate Jimmy. Hate him for other reasons.
"Tell it like it is"? LOL!!! Didn't Wikileaks show that Colbert was emailing the Clinton Campaign to ask in advance what type of questions he should ask when he interviewed Hillary? Colbert's nothing but a paid propogandist for the extreme leftists. He certainly doesn't "tell it like it is".
I was just starting to get bored with this administration and stop watching videos about it, when Trump brings in Scaramucci and things are back to a laugh minute. Next week's episode - Trump replaces Sessions with Giuliani and gets Mueller fired whilst Ryan does a jellyfish impression. I'm going to miss Trump when he's gone.
No. He was vying for a number of different jobs, all of which were blocked. He had sold his company on the expectation he would get what he wanted. One can only imagine his outrage at having the jobs he wanted blocked. The communications director thing apparently was given to him as some sort of compromise or consolation prize. www.politico.com/story/2017/07/21/anthony-scaramucci-trump-communications-director-240817
This"man" went to Harvard law school- I find that difficult to conceive!! This person speaks like a mobster like Trump does.Perhaps,Trump has found his " soul mate?" Birds of a feather fly together!!
CNN: "Trump's White House is the most unprofessional and chaotic group of federal employees ever staffed by a President. At this point, the White House couldnt possibly get any worse" Scaramucci: "Hold my beer..."
Marcos Imperial , why would Trump be in prison whee odummer and killary Clinton and Bill are still loose , you libiturd's make me laugh. The most pithiatic people on the planet, wish a nuke would drop on each and everyone of you.
4yrs later and I still watch this. Definitely one of my top monologues
Instead by un u
A classic!
The front stab bit always gets me... Love it!
The Scaramucci saga is maybe my favorite series in the Trump days.
@@owengette8089 , it's a pity that it ended so quickly... Love the Alter Egos of that time too...
Who else here never gets enough of Stephen and keeps going back to his old videos? That's how good the man is
Yaaaaaazzzzzz I love Stephan
Also: That's how bad the last 5 years have been
Its true hahaha
So clever, his writing team, especially compared to other late night shows.
Always makes me laugh!
One of Stephen's best monologues ever! I've watched this soooo many times, and marvel at his delivery.
Jake Moeller AMEN!
Same here. Does your mom have a front 😂😂
Same here. It's Steven at the his peak with the white house providing golden material on a daily basis for comedians. It's perfect at every sense.
Scaramucci looks like Thug #3 in every gangster movie I have ever seen. He's the one who says"What do we do now boss?" before he is gunned down lol!
OH MY GOD that's exactly what I was thinking! Trump is literally The Don. WE'RE IN A SIMULATION AND IT'S RECREATING THE GODFATHER
must be the version that will win multiple razzies
tag427 seriously!!!
Leave the gun. Take the canolli.
Eliz. hahahaha Nice!
'The Mooch' is already one of the most entertaining characters in the white house, and he's only been in the show for a week!
*realises its reality*
*cries inside*
Remember that one South Park episode? I am afraid that Earth is a reality show.
It's crazy- if this *was* a comedy show, I'd be watching every damn episode. But all I want is for this to end.
Has it been a week? The shit storm is falling so quick I'm losing track.
Deformed Goldfish Better call Mooch?
Deformed Goldfish As a Canadian... please do not shut this reality down. While it may horrify and sadden you Americans, it is comedy gold for the rest of the world!
"I have the President's full support"
Gets fired with the President's blessing within a week.
The Mooch truly is a blessing for Stephen, I could watch those frontstabbing jokes for days
SAAAAAME - hilarious 😂😂
My favorite is the 'This is my body, this is my knife!' joke :D
Laughin' my ass off at those frontstabbin' jokes!
"Hold em open!"
More front-stabbing please. I'm in tears
one-video monologues are so relaxing
Sarahcate Roberson lol, right?
Next step: one-video full episodes :P
At the least, they could do is number them.
ex. 1/3, 2/3, etc.
I think it cured my OCD.
me too, I think Stephen REALLY enjoyed that one.
4 years later and I'm still coming back to this one. Everything about it is so on point and the recurring stab joke was funny and unexpected every single time!
Colbert's Mooch front stab schtick is kind of the best thing ever.
It is why I keep coming.!
I know it's very selfish of me, but I was a little sad when the Mooch got the boot, just because I wanted to see Colbert do the front-stab at least a few more times.
Right?!?! I say, at least let him do Friday Press Conferences.
C'mon on... it's Friday. It's the day where we let our hair down, loosen our collars, which is good for...
FRONT STAB!... FRONT STAB!... shhh....sshhhh...
YES!! LOL!!! Yes, it is.
Totally! I came back after 4months. Classic!
Doesn't matter if you are repubplican or Democrat......you have to admit that WH is full on entertainment mode.
Some people would say it detracts from the real issues. But fuck it. I say if comedy was all it took for us to forget all our principle I say let the world burn.
FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS FAKFEOAGFAV NEWWWKADNFFJKAFW!!
Not all that entertaining for the people whose lives they're fucking up.
Lord Of Bitches The mad house.
House of Tards
Elect a clown expect a circus.
Dave Witter can I use that quote for a college project presentation? I'll give you credit.
Can't believe how many different quotes there are to describe the ridiculousness of our current government but THAT one should be a hashtag/meme/go viral or WHATEVER!!!!!!! Thanks for being here and for a perfect quote that truly totally sums it up.
Dave Witter hay I recognize this post on another Steven Colbert video thanks
Elect a MADMAN, end up with an asylum; full of other madmen!
Wow! Well said. Bravo for that one. ❤
I don't think I'll ever get tired of "Front Stabbed!"
If a guy worked for me and told he's a front stabber. Insulting his higher ups with... extreme profanities, threatening to fire everyone who works there, sending stupid tweets which are incorrect... I would fire the guy immediatelly! Why are people ok with this?
Claystead. Eyy yoo, I love the Don. He kissed me on the cheek the other day, I'll be ok.
As long as the Mooch respects the Don's family, he's just takin' out the garbage, if ya know what I mean. If he was disrespectful to Ivanka or Jared or Donald Junior, then that would be a serious problem and the Don don't like problems anymore than he likes leakers. Nice country ya got here. Be a shame if somethin' happened to it.
Talking about leakers being lynched,...
Bert schumacher ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Are they though?
Bert schumacher, well that is because you have at least a hint of professionalism apparently
This is the Gold Standard of topical comedy. Less then 24 hours to write this, subject, character and delivery are all perfect. It's hilarious and memorable. In the blink of an eye Anthony Scaramucci became the Front Stab Guy and then days later he was gone.
Hats off to Stephen Colbert. Political comedy never gets better than this.
100%. Every line and the delivery of every line is just perfect.
"...a VHS of My Cousin Vinny" -->> priceless 😂
Jamie J. Its a great film. Also fuck scaramoosh.
Scaramucci is a gift sent by the comedy gods. As someone raised in NJ, seeing other's impersonation of an Italian is the best.
all we are saying is give impeachment a chance....
+Margot Gorske: And then we would have the Vice-Dumbass to deal with, and he may be no better. In fact, it makes me wonder just where Mike Pence is with this 3-ring circus going on. Unless he's trying to do something truly "Presidential" and soothe N. Korea's ruffled feathers and itchy nuke-fingers, unlike Trump, who can only saber-rattle.
A. Katherine Suetterlin
Yup the whole chain of command is fucked
Impeachment would mean President Pence. Much better to take back the House and Senate and just have Lame Duck Donald for 2 years.
I have bad news from the future.
Thank God you are getting your wish!! Looks like the idiotic treasonous con is now being officially impeached and no way can anyone defend this train wreck of a man. Hes a shitty person thru and thru. His lifelong assholeness is finally being exposed. Trump couldn't care less about America or the people.
One of Stephen's best monologues- he had me in stitches! That Mooch impression was spot on and the 'Front stab' is definitely now a thing hahaha
Front! Stab! Hahahahaha 😂
Stephen was on fire in this monologue. Bravo, sir and keep up the good work!
This guy (Scaramucci) is proof that Harvard is not any better a school than any other. He graduated from there and acts and talks like this? I love how he claims as a Wall Street guy he likes to stab from the front. There is no bigger collection of backstabbers, pickpockets, and poisoners than the lawyers and investors on Wall Street.
I wish more American reporters would act like that BBC woman. She cornered him until his only out was to go for a personal attack on her. Which is pretty pathetic/childish on his part.
Standard for characters like himself n bf trump
It was such a ridiculous, puerile attack too ("Now _you're_ sounding elitist.") The White House Director of Communications using he-who-smelt-it-dealt-it 'logic'. 🙄
1:14 !!!
+A Ibrahim Not just cheeseburgers... Trump also eats pizza! Please look at this cheeseburger! Ignore the trust-fund, the prep schools, the strings his dad pulled so Donald could transfer to an Ivy League college, the fact that Trump's money is inherited... and the fact that Trump would be far wealthier than he is today if he hadn't touched his trust fund, and if - instead of investing in Trump-branded ventures - he had left his inheritance alone.
Nina Karakos
i love how much fun stephen's having with the 'Mooch'! this guy's going to be every bit as entertaining as italian mobster from the movies and i can't wait to see what else stephen does with it.
Don has turned the Presidency into a reality tv show. Sad.
50Sense but it's a HUGE reality show, it's the best reality show that ever existed. Period. Anyone who says otherwise is a disgrace to the American republic and they are not patriotic because they are FAKE NEWS and they are spreading LIES to hurt the administration that is definitely doing good, lots of good, so much good, unbelievably good.

The Mooch strikes me as the slightly controversial character that was only supposed to be in one episode, but became a recurring member of the cast.
Azure Balmung nailed it!
'slightly'?
for the final season
well, your first impression was right. He's gone after a couple of episode of House Of Farts
You spoke too soon. Lol
"I am a wall street guy"
so much for "draining the swamp"
For sure! He drained the swamp and this is what he found at the bottom. He needed staff! Where else would he find them?
The police sketch joke was gold I can't stop laughing
MoveOn I scrolled for a few minutes hoping to find a comment like this to upvote
Absolutely savage Stephen god bless you
this Mooch stuff is gold, Scaramucci has given Colbert endless material.
Front Stab!
jo smith no more spicy news from now on, it's full on mooch
100
Yes shame the Mooch has gone was looking forward to more classic entertainment. They are dropping like flies in the WH.
I LOVE the front stabbing, Stephen!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
''He's the *smartest* person I have ever worked for...'' Statistically, that says more about you than him.
jeck jeck I was waiting on Stephen Colbert to say a joke about that lol
Sterlin Charles Me too.)
jeck jeck well he worked in Wall Street so maybe he's not lying on that one
I do have a -albeit optimistic- theory, he is flattering Trump on purpose. It's a known fact that as long as you 'praise the Don' he'll see you as a 'great guy'...I think he's showing us how unhinged The Trump and his team are...I hope that the guy who's worth millions is an insider, determined to destroy the deranged administration from the inside. Nah, seems too unrealistic.
But but but wait! There's more!
1.} The 'Mooch' isn't even officially on the White House staff yet!
2.} The $85 Million disclosure is the deal in progress that he is working out with the country of ... China...to sell his business before he can LEGALLY be a member of the dear leader's Abomination...oops, I meant administration.
So, what 'firing' power does he actually have? Zero! Peace all!
This White House and America have literally descended into Jerry Springer/Maury Pauvich levels of ridiculousness
Art imitates life imitates art. Nothing new.
kijiji93
And as a result of this descent into madness, the American media focus more and more on things that don't really matter. Like the "mooch"'s latest crazy talk and the presidents tweets. Meanwhile, in politics, some really bad deals are going down. Or, they try to make them go down.
US Politics will all be so BORING when Trump etc leave
Ratings for News Channels & Talk Shows in US must be thru the roof now
Next week's episode: My troll cult allied with Russia to overthrow America's government.
kijiji93 ....some announcer on tv just stated, "everyone thinks that America is such a wonderful place to live. Huge homes on beautiful green lawns....happy people living terrific lives...". I actually laughed out loud !! Who the f**k thinks THAT ?! When I see ads for vacationing in the US, I think, "geez, you'd have to be REALLY stupid to want to go THERE !!"
"..what did you study there...a VHS copy of MY COUSIN VINNY?...." :DDD
I'm from the future. This shit was RIGHT ON THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell me my future please, fortune teller.
The "mooch" is AWESOME! I mean, finally something good comes out of this TV show! His character is well-put together, and very... wait... HE'S REAL!?!?!?! AWWWW F****
The Mysterious Gravity Falls Person lol
Finally!!!!! No cutting up the monologue
One of my all time favorite episodes of this show i still find myself looking for it 2 years later
I love, LOooOVe, these front stabbing bits, more front stabbing Mr. Colbert!!!
Yup, the front stabbing bits are amazing.' How about some front stabbin!? Hey gah! eh! GAH!'
I love how even the BBC reporter used "front stabbed" as a verb, haha.
I just came back from McDonald's at 3:30 AM like the degenerate I am and I'm looking for something to watch while I eat, and Colbert's monologue was uploaded 30 seconds ago.
*wipes away tears* "You da real MVP"
Dare to Zlatan 😅😅😅! So much detail
SAD! 😂
Relatable
Same story here, except it was White Castle. Great stomachs think alike?
It's even a full single video.
Whenever I need a laugh, I come back and watch this! I can never not laugh at Colbert's "front-stabbing" impressions, let alone, Jon Batiste's reaction to the quote Mooch is now the most famous for saying! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
In other words, this monologue has aged *timelessly* (and that is still true, *despite* the fact that barely a week after this, the Mooch had already been fired)!
Until recently (1 year ago), I NEVER watched TV except to keep myself abreast on current affairs. I really do try to stay informed & listen to both sides of an argument before deciding how I feel/react to a situation.
I really don't care what news organizations 'opinions' are. I can think for myself & with some true research, try to see past the bias.
But, I have to tell you....I am HOOKED on Stephen now.
I find him funny-informed-witty-humble (OK. Somewhat, humble) & very engaging without being too crass.
I LOVE the show....
Likewise
I feel the same way. I follow FOX and CNN to get both sides of the argument, but I can absolutely indulge myself in some Late Show haha
9:57 "Trump is the smartest person I ever worked for" wow, imagine the morons Scaramucci must have worked for in the past..
He must've been unemployed, I'm pretty sure Trump is as low as it goes.
Mooch worked for Goldman Sachs.
Supreme Overlord Yeah, we know. It's called a joke. On a slightly unrelated note, does anyone know what the hell Goldman Sachs is? Because I hear the name thrown around a lot and after looking them up I have no idea what they do.
Jawel Zimbabwe google is your friend.
Jawel Zimbabwe Goldman Sachs are a bank. People give them their money to hold onto, and in their offices they play around with the money to make more money so they can stuff it down their shirt pockets.
Easily one of the funniest monologues around. The subject matter helps massively but the delivery is top notch. I kinda wish the Mooch would have stuck around a little longer but it was only ever going to be a wham bam thank you ma'am kinda thing!
I love the fact that whenever he mimes any object he puts it away after he's done. This man is the best talk show host ever.
We can't have imaginary objects, just disappear in thin air can we? they need to be put away. :)
Imaginary?! Maybe to you. They're real brother......they're real.
You can tell he watched a lot of WB cartoons.
This is a talk show host that has actually done mime.
Colbert's great but you must be too young to remember Carson.
Love Stephen! His shows actually take the stress level down when you can get a laugh out of the seriousness of the crap coming from the White House.

the guy is a shill.
C J there's no waking you up lil man....sweet dreams
Every American should be mortified that this is considered acceptable in their government. If Americans don't change something they will lose what little respect they have left worldwide. As a concerned neighbour I feel really bad for the rational respectful Americans who oppose this awful administration.
Float like a Butterfly, stab like a Mooch.
I love the face Colbert makes when he's imitating Scaramucci: dead eyes, fake smile, no lips. Just slightly disappointed bc I'd been waiting for Colbert to mention how Scaramucci: (A) deleted the #Reince45 tweet and then (B) lied and said that he wasn't accusing Priebus of leaking... and he had included the Reince hashtag to show that he wanted Priebus to work with him to stop the info flowing from the white house.
Float like a butterfly, Mooch like Trump did off his dad.
The monologue is in one video. Yayy!!
Joe Pesci should play Anthony Scaramucci in a movie.
GOLD!!!!!!
YES
"Scaramuccia (literally "little skirmisher"), also known as Scaramouche or Scaramouch, is a stock clown character of the Italian commedia dell'arte (comic theatrical arts). The role combined characteristics of the zanni (servant) and the Capitano (masked henchman). Usually attired in black Spanish dress and burlesquing a don, he was often beaten by Harlequin for his boasting and cowardice."
"Scaramouche entertains the audience by his "grimaces and affected language". Salvator Rosa says that Coviello (like Scaramouche) is "sly, adroit, supple, and conceited".
seems legit.
I looked up the exact same thing a few months ago, when I saw the character on the new season of Samurai Jack called Scaramouche. I was like "Wow, what a fitting name for that character".
So now we have an orange, blonde-wig-wearing Aku in the White House, and his servant Scaramucci.
Where's our Samurai Jack to go back in time and defeat Aku before this whole thing ever happened, lol?
Please?
I need to start watching SJ again !!
I wonder if he can do the fandango..?
Just when you thought Stephen lost a huge source of comedy with Spicer being gone... this guy's way more entertaining.
HowLongs but what about Melissa McCartney
HowLongs The Mooch impression is way funnier than Trump impression
This is the Golden Age of Comedy!
I'm sure she'll get an ample federal severance package.
I wouldn't mind a little boredom.
The band reactions are classic.
This monologue is Emmy worthy. The Mooch!!!
Colbert didn't pull any punches here, great work folks keep it up
These days his whole routine is just repeating what people in the White House say.
Bryan Colley What else is there to say? Our White House has turned into a reality TV show.
RagnarokNCC he didn't pull any punches cuz he's too busy stabbing people in the front 😂
He went to the Harvard law School of declining ethics.....Majored in political cronyism laced with legalized corruption.
Must have front stabbed his way to grad, lots of them
John Oliver
So... he's a lawyer.
Michael Scantlebury huh?
Elected a clown and you got yourself a circus
j
I wish I could subscribe to the Late Show twice.
3 years later and this still cracks me up!
Thank you so much for a one video monologue!
I'm sorry, but can someone please find some ACTUAL adults to run the country please?
I think replacing this administration with an entire brigade of newborn babies would actually involve less shit and diaper-changing. Oh, and how I WISH I was fucking kidding.
1:14 !!
Let's pray we can get Obama again
The Whitehouse has a higher turnover rate than some retail jobs..
I'm five months late in saying this, but HOW DARE YOU! RETAIL JOBS HAVE MORE DIGNITY THAN THAT! :(
Higher than the fast food restaurants!!!
A Higher turnover than McDonald's! There should be a revolving door on the White House!
>>Why is Trump not elite.
>He eats pizza and cheeseburgers.
>>Everybody eats pizza and cheeseburgers.
>You're elitist.
WHAT!?
kissfan7 Remind you of anyone? "I'm not a puppet. You're the puppet." The Mooch is baby Trump, which I thought impossible because Trump's already far worse than any normal toddler.
Greg K ///////
Greg K ///////
1:14 !!
Lawrence Bader why are u replying "1:14" every comment?
Scaramucci is like the living embodiment of a badly written stereotype of a mobster. He staggers belief. Where is Trump finding these people?! YIKES~
Chibihugs these are the killers trump was talking about
These are the very same people Trump has been working with for his whole life: crooks, mobsters, assholes, criminals.
His inner circle ofc
I WILL DRAIN THE SWAMP...
People never listen and get so excited
and bring them to the White House (unintelligible)
People were so excited couldn't hear that
Darc Gibson bingo!
it was only a matter of time for a mafioso caricature to join the Trump staff.
I half expect DeNiro to show up at the White House as Scaramucci's long lost goodfella uncle who slaps him across the face and puts him in line. You can't make this crazy train up!
FacheChanteDeux Deniro on SNL playing scaramucci!
dont drag ozzy into this. lol
Brett Jacobson They should lure Joe Pesci out of retirement. The Mooch is like a real (My Cousin) Vinnie. Or not real - Trump loves misdirection so it wouldn't surprise me if he was an actor!
FacheChanteDeux fucking racist. All it takes is a vowel at the end of someone's name and every fucking boring yuppie goes mad. He's a Wall Street broker, not some fucking goomba.
FacheChanteDeux mooch would kick dineros ass
"The mooch!", "Front stab!" We as a country will literally die laughing because of this administration!
This is without a doubt my most favorite Stephen Colbert monologue!
Jerico Cruz this is absolutely the best, I keep coming back to this episode
You didn’t have to write the word “most” there 😂
Same here. I have watched it so many times. Unbelievable that it was written in just a day after the news was out.
It's scary how madly in love Scaramucci is with the president.
Giga Man he is trump's side hoe Putin is his main chick
Giga Man He is Trump butt boy.
They share the same pipe.
He's just a self serving opportunist. He's just stumbled on an idiot he can exploit.
The Mooch knows how to deal with a narcissist. He'll get what he wants. He's already gotten Priebus kicked out.
Thank you for not splitting up the Monologue. Much appreciated.
This is Colbert's funniest monologue I've ever seen. I've lost count of how many times I've watched it. John Baptist's reaction to Bannon's c**k joke is priceless!😂
*This shit is better then any comedy show and it's amazing to see American political system,and I'm not even an American*.
*Good luck American people*.
Everything -Science thanks we need it
Colbert is amazing. This is my daily moment of zen.
And to think that we're still in Trump's first year as President. We have 4 years of comedy gold to look forward to.
The Mooch is the best character on tv right now. He came out of left field too! He randomly showed up, eyyyyy! Front stab! Badda bing badda boom! I swear, they need to make a movie about this sh!t when it's all over.
Turkish Guy - I've been laughing for the last 10 minutes and no sign of stopping soon. You nailed it! I'm addicted to this clusterf@#k. When this is all over I'm going to need therapy so as to cope with the withdrawal and a movie might just be the cathartic that I will need, lol.
I feel like there should be a Clue game Trump presidency edition. I say it was the Mooch, in the White House, with the knife, frontstab to Priebus
Amy June LOL
I believe Stephen is having a little too much fun impersonating the Mooch but I love it ! :)
I could watch Colbert doing his Mooch bits over and over again.
They're so well done!! Has me dying every time.
"I'm somebody's little boy, be nice to me"
Lmao that front stab joke is hilarious to me every time. Reminds me of that one crazy robot on futurama kind? I think his name was Roberto? Lol
It's Bender. He's a drinking robot. (kinda like "going on a bender" drinking, only he also bends metal frames and stuff)
Daniel Chaney nah it's Roberto lol
slurmed.com/fanart/leelas-loyal-slave/004_roberto-stay-back-ive-got-hostages_by-leelas-loyal-slave.png
And you thought Sean Spicer was funny? They just hired Joe Pesci to replace him
just peed a little
Leo Getz: "What Leo wants, Leo gets" ;-) Unfortunately doesn't work with "Anthony".
You laughin' at me?
No no no wait, Bargerland. It's: "You talkin to me?
You talkin’ to me You talkin’ to me?
Well then who the hell else are you talkin’ to? You talkin’ to me?
Well I’m the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you’re talkin’ to? " (Robert de Niro as Taxi Driver :-)
I think after Anthony resigned he would be THE best choice for "Taxi Driver II"... and of course Robert de Niro should then take his place in the WH.
"Wanna leak, wanna leak, wanna leak? Well, then let's go on the balcony, don't want blood stains on the carpet..."
What, you think I'm a funny guy?
Stephen is obviously getting angry. I'd be too if I'm frustrated with how my country become a literal joke everywhere
Stephen's enthused stabbing is hilarious
I just can't help it...Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?!!
Thunderbolts and lightening, very very frightening ......
Tindi Chohan Galileo *Galileo* Galileo *Galileo* Galileo Figaro magnificooooooo
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me.
He's just a poor boy, from a poor family.
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
"One Italian to another"...is this jersey shore?
I fuckin love Stephen's The Mooch, such a fun chararcter. ^^
5:15 the reaction of Jean Baptiste us priceless!!!
Stephen’s Mooch material is so funny. Anytime I need cheering up I dip into some front-stabbing and I’m instantly filled with joy. Can you imagine if the Mooch had lasted more than 11 precious days? Mooch 2024!
Love when I see a long monologue!!!!
Love when i see Putin naked.
I love Colbert so much
John Rebuttal only if things were equal would you have a point.
Mike North ii
This is the best monologue he has ever done! I completely lost it at "stab you with my gun!" I've watched this three times already. ~ They smile in your face / all the time they want to take your place / the front stabbers
Last night's Mooch interview was an epic closer to his 15 minutes of fame. Stephen is the king! Love that the band played the song "Front Stabbers"!
"now everyone knows he's the poorest person in the white house" I died! 😂😂
I liked that one, too!
Trump, if you want to get rid of Jeff Sessions, just give him an item of clothing, like a sock or something. That's how house elves work.
Minh Trung Tran lmfao
I love you for that.
i'm sure i did read this "joke" days ago below another video.
i'm sure i did see better "grammar" days ago below another video.
Minh Trung Tran give him a joint 😂
This one is still my favorite
I love Stephen and how he is not afraid to tell it like it is .. I will always support him ! unlike Jimmy F who tried to "normalize" Trump by touching his hair.
ismael1989 well Fallon's show is an entertainment comedic show, while Colbert's is political satire
Hmmm before the elections Stephen's monologues were not entirely political, these events have made it that way , Stephen chooses to talk about it, Jimmy does not. Why have politicians on Fallon's show then? Why talk to Trump like if you like him then go on an award show and talk ill of him? To me that is flip flopping. Aside from that I dislike how Fallon tells everyone he "loves" them or how he fake laughs at some people's jokes it just seems disingenuous.
Then dont watch
ismael1989 Jimmy is a nice guy. He doesn't insult anyone, he keeps his political opinion to himself and also... why wouldn't he have Trump on his show. The ratings would be really high. In the end, everyone insulted him for acting normal around Trump. It's not as though Stephen was that rude to Trump when he was there. If you're gonna hate Jimmy. Hate him for other reasons.
"Tell it like it is"? LOL!!! Didn't Wikileaks show that Colbert was emailing the Clinton Campaign to ask in advance what type of questions he should ask when he interviewed Hillary?
Colbert's nothing but a paid propogandist for the extreme leftists. He certainly doesn't "tell it like it is".
Honestly, who needs a writer when trump clowns are themselves delivering the jokes on daily basis.
I have the best jokes, tremendous jokes very bigly.
eaaaaaagle faaaaaaaaace
I was just starting to get bored with this administration and stop watching videos about it, when Trump brings in Scaramucci and things are back to a laugh minute. Next week's episode - Trump replaces Sessions with Giuliani and gets Mueller fired whilst Ryan does a jellyfish impression. I'm going to miss Trump when he's gone.
Tweety Tweety That is exactly what he wants. He thinks he is on a t.v. show making a great show!
Tweety, WAS in the crapper. This is a turnaround.
whatever impression Colbert and the media are trying to make, as they go down the drain.
Should we even trust Harvard grads anymore?
Bruce Liu 1/2
Only Conan O'Brien.
@@carogatto Yep
4:10 "I c*ck-blocked Scaramucci for six months" ? Wait, so the original plan of the White House was to hire this goon from the start?
good guy reince
No. He was vying for a number of different jobs, all of which were blocked. He had sold his company on the expectation he would get what he wanted. One can only imagine his outrage at having the jobs he wanted blocked. The communications director thing apparently was given to him as some sort of compromise or consolation prize.

Jon Batiste suit is on point all the time
Keil Cash Thank you for saying something positive about him.Most comments here about him are pure hate.Poor guy.
Keil Cash yup yup. Dude always looks sharp.
Keil Cash i wish I could pull off his outfits.
Jon is G!!! His reactions are hilarious too!!
N LX Jon's laugh makes me laugh
This"man" went to Harvard law school- I find that difficult to conceive!! This person speaks like a mobster like Trump does.Perhaps,Trump has found his " soul mate?" Birds of a feather fly together!!
I love this new season of The Whitehouse
Dan America wake up! This is like The Rise and Fall of The United States of America! as your pot us would say SAD!
his pot talks to him?
Pretty sure it was suppose to be "potus" but got autocorrected.
I haven't been able to watch House of Cards, but I think Season 1 of The White House is better.
CNN: "Trump's White House is the most unprofessional and chaotic group of federal employees ever staffed by a President. At this point, the White House couldnt possibly get any worse"
Scaramucci: "Hold my beer..."
Michael Scott Hopefully Trump and his administration will join you in prison one day, Prison Mike.
Marcos Imperial , why would Trump be in prison whee odummer and killary Clinton and Bill are still loose , you libiturd's make me laugh. The most pithiatic people on the planet, wish a nuke would drop on each and everyone of you.
michael price Hey there troll. Try speaking English comrade. da?
@Michael Price, Don't worry, there plenty of freely available spell checkers online you too can get help for you idoitious.
No? You think it couldn't get worse? This game show is just beginning to roll. Oh yeah babe, things gonna great real crazy real soon.
5:22 omg i can't stop laughing at the expressions of the band people in the back like they can't keep their shit together either this is great
Stephen: This is probably your best video of the summer - THANK YOU for making us laugh!
M Morrison - You gotta laugh, or The Trump Show would send ya crazy!! 😂😂
