This is a travesty of a mockery of a sham. Stephen clearly smooshed Melissa's dish. Ben should have won, according to the rule. I'm taking this up with the board of directors, and I encourage everyone to sign the petition.
E-Dit! Allowing that they were, indeed, in a time-warp where "that clock goes so fast..." we can be thrilled at the amount of time given to Stephen to E-Dit! They all did remarkably well on this premiere of Smooched! Beautiful presentations! Bravo!
+Canaan I scrolled through the comments while he was eating melissa's cause I just couldn't...hearing "a certain testicularity" made me feel good about that decision instantly, lmao
+msminmichigan I don't know how anyone expected Stephen to beat Fallon tbh... Fallon caters to the simple-minded... there are a lot of people who don't like entertainment with substance, but just want to giggle at sketches with celebrities. Cheap, but effective.
+Eirion I find it hard to believe that CBS would expect anything other than what has happened. The ratings/comedy dynamic is the same as it was when it was Leno on NBC and Letterman on CBS: The more cerebral comedian routinely gets the lower ratings. Like Letterman, a lot of Colbert's choices for the show illustrate that he doesn't mind alienating some people. CBS knew what they were getting into and deliberately chose someone who would carry on the basic spirit of Letterman's Late Show, which was always mostly about what Dave personally thought was funny/entertaining, rather than populist tastes.
WaitingtoHit Exactly, I agree. I see a lot of comments, people who are raving on and on about the fact that the show's ratings are below the Tonight Show's, and 'tanking' and what not - they should relax and let it go. Everyone has a different opinion on what a late night show should be... Personally, I'm really enjoying what this show's bringing to the table.
Do they know from where they sourced their footage? Since it's a network television show, I am going to venture a wild guess and answer in the affirmative.
+Francisco Ruvalcaba He knows, they used it apparently without permission. www.reddit.com/r/hydraulicpresschannel/comments/4dk8w1/clip_from_hpc_featured_on_the_late_show_with/d1sfdcc
This is ridiculous, Melissa omits a crucial ingridient, but Ben gets smooshed? Colbert's judging criteria is outta wack! THIS IS FIXED , I DEMAND A RECALL!
+Sarmad John Apparently they used it without permission www.reddit.com/r/hydraulicpresschannel/comments/4dk8w1/clip_from_hpc_featured_on_the_late_show_with/d1sfdcc
I wonder if Melissa's actually tasted better or if Ben had gone all Peeta and asked that his Katniss (Melissa) win. This segment was so hilarious. Definitely not a segment that should be revisited with anyone, though. It was the combo of Ben, Melissa, and Stephen that made it so great.
+Mahmood Toorani I don't see why he can't do a fun bit like this every now and then. He's not going for what Fallon does, but for the love of.....does everything have to be about Trump? no, the answer's no. :-)
+Mahmood Toorani You clearly missed his wit during this bit. The way he judges the plates is the same way the judges do on the show. He even mocks the audience for yelling "EAT IT!" calling it a battle cry. So don't worry Fallon and Colbert are both hilarious in their own ways.
Kudos to Stephen for holding that down. He's a trooper, that's why I love him!
she's honestly just so gorgeous
truly...she is really beautiful..
Pretty lady.
Ben is soo lucky.
"Oh wait. I'm not using any of the ingredients!" Melissa is hilarious! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They are such a cute couple. This was a fun segment.
+ndgv2 I agree, they really are adorable!
"My bouche is more than amused... it's chagrined, and somewhat humiliated."
I think I speak for everyone when I say that this needs a separate regular segment and/or a TV show.
+Sushant Thapaliya I was thinking Stephen was saying to himself...well, this is the last time we will do this skit. Ick! lol
I love how competitive Ms. McCarthy is. The clip of the lip sync contest with Jimmy Fallon has enchanted me.
This is a travesty of a mockery of a sham. Stephen clearly smooshed Melissa's dish. Ben should have won, according to the rule. I'm taking this up with the board of directors, and I encourage everyone to sign the petition.
+lednerg ok this might come off the wrong way, but i think you sir might , i say *might* , have some issues :D
I calls them like I sees them, John.
For the integrity of the show!
+lednerg I've been triggered.
signed, sealed, delivered...from my intestinal exodus.
I like this segment! Colbert, I hope you compete on smooshed one day in the future as well. I know you have some great cooking skills!
i love the way when she says something, she's always facing her husband and you can see the love in her eyes
My respects to Stephen for eating it. 🙌
Him smooshing the wrong smoosh was definitely a Freudian smoosh.
"a rustic hash" i love melissa hilarious
😂😂😂 I love them so much! They are so cute and perfect together.
This is the best segment Colbert has ever done OMG.
I adore Melissa! Beautiful and so damn funny!
OK, clearly Ben won.
I know!
EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT!!!!!
My favorite part was the drummer sitting up on the stairs thinking, "No, no you may not get a drum roll"
E-Dit! Allowing that they were, indeed, in a time-warp where "that clock goes so fast..." we can be thrilled at the amount of time given to Stephen to E-Dit! They all did remarkably well on this premiere of Smooched! Beautiful presentations! Bravo!
They are such a cute couple and Melissa is honestly gorgeous....just looking at her dish almost made me get sick though haha
Meghan Taylor I would have to be paid to eat it, but if I could I would pay double of that to go a live performance
Colbey you an absolute legend for eating it!
+Canaan I scrolled through the comments while he was eating melissa's cause I just couldn't...hearing "a certain testicularity" made me feel good about that decision instantly, lmao
You don't have to torture yourself for our entertainment, Stephen...
That's a damn lie.
+Buenomars When Jimmy Fallon beats him every night in the ratings and there are rumors that CBS isn't happpy about it then maybe he does.
+msminmichigan I don't know how anyone expected Stephen to beat Fallon tbh... Fallon caters to the simple-minded... there are a lot of people who don't like entertainment with substance, but just want to giggle at sketches with celebrities. Cheap, but effective.

This was so funny! I hope to see this segment again.
I hope this bit/segment becomes a staple on the show!! I loved it!
I laughed so freaking hard. This was a brilliant bit!!
She is gorgeous, always love seeing them together
Sookie has fallen so far from her former glory.
That was such a fun segment!!!
Stephen is a trooper for eating that gross stuff with a smile 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She looks pretty with that lip color.
1:00 Melissa had the "ooohhh shit" eyes. LOL!
Hehehehe the Hydraulic press channel made it on TLSWSC
PLEEEEEEEEEASE do this more!!!
melissa cooking remembered me to sookie hahaha can't wait to watch gg again
Melissa McCarthy is so lovely.
Ben, you are smooshed. Oh wait, I smooshed the wrong dish. 😂
Haha, that last "eat it" killed me :D
I love this 😂
McCarthy is beautiful
"rustic hash" hahaha...she's definitely watched her fair share of chopped
It would be a blast to have a Michelle Darnell interview hehe! Just like when Will Ferrel is in character in an interview.. haha!
They used The Hydraulic Press' video, I wonder if he knows?
Do they know from where they sourced their footage? Since it's a network television show, I am going to venture a wild guess and answer in the affirmative.
+Francisco Ruvalcaba in what minute can't find it and bored to watch the segment
+souarli krok 1.15
+Francisco Ruvalcaba He knows, they used it apparently without permission. www.reddit.com/r/hydraulicpresschannel/comments/4dk8w1/clip_from_hpc_featured_on_the_late_show_with/d1sfdcc
+Fugoux there's probably a graphics employee shitting his pants right now lol
This is ridiculous, Melissa omits a crucial ingridient, but Ben gets smooshed? Colbert's judging criteria is outta wack! THIS IS FIXED , I DEMAND A RECALL!
to subscribe on the my channel please thank you
Stephen's always had a penchant for snacking on the weirdest things on camera.
I'm hoping this will be a regular segment.
Kudos to Stephen for actually eating their creations haha
Stephen is a champ, eating all that mess!
Awesome bit!
i need this every week.. so great... EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT
Is that the hydraulic press channel's fruit salad in the intro?
That made me so happy LOL
+Milky Cowish AHAHHAHA
+Sarmad John Apparently they used it without permission www.reddit.com/r/hydraulicpresschannel/comments/4dk8w1/clip_from_hpc_featured_on_the_late_show_with/d1sfdcc
This was excellent in every way possible.
❤️ Melissa
Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
That was hilarious!
This is what is meant by the phrase "suffering for your art."
melissa is comedic genius
simply brilliant
Stephen has the mind of someone who's constantly wondering how to get back to bed asap
So he can dream up more comedy gold, no doubt.
Yeah that's what's funny about him!
This is an amazing segment
How much do they pay Colbert :'D Not enough I'm sure.
Who else was expecting Melissa to say it's what ever you want it to be
Nice to see another side of her. who could imagine she is as talented as a cook as she is as a comedian.
+victor martone I would even argue that she is an even better cook than comedian
So you guys would want to eat that?
I SMOOSHED THE WRONG ONE!
What a trooper
Right. I’m making these NOW !
This needs to be on food network
BEN Clearly Won that round! 😐
Melissa McCarthy and her husband should be able to watch 'The Gilmore Girls' with their children.
What a ride!
This was hilarious 😂
I wonder if Melissa's actually tasted better or if Ben had gone all Peeta and asked that his Katniss (Melissa) win. This segment was so hilarious. Definitely not a segment that should be revisited with anyone, though. It was the combo of Ben, Melissa, and Stephen that made it so great.
This was genuinely funny
I would be genuinely concerned that I would vomit after Melissa's one
This is greatness
"I'M NOT USING ANY OF THE INGREDIENTS!!!" :-D
They played Ben 😂😂
Is her husband the guy that played the air marshal in Bridesmaids?
Yeah lol ain't that cute
I would watch this show, make this your next project Melissa and Ben! :)
shes pretty
Honestly, all things considered, Ben did well with plating.
It's sad when a talk show host would make a way better president and the current president is acting like he's on one.
This was wild.
When asked about the protein, the correct answer was "Well, it has a first name and it's O-S-C-A-R."
isn't that from the hydraulic press channel lol
I really miss the Colbert Report. Every moment of his show was crafted and on point.
This is just silly. I get it, I just miss the Report.
Stephen Smooshed the ending ;-P
Les Moonves just greenlit "Smooshed" for Friday Nights, next fall on CBS.
i love them
So I saw footage from the Hydraulic Press Channel there, right?
Hydraulic press channel got on the late show!
Please do not turn Stephen into another Fallon...
+Mahmood Toorani exactly
+Mahmood Toorani I wouldn't worry -- there's a lot of improv on this bit.
Fallon does because he can't do better. Stephen does when the guest can't do better
+Mahmood Toorani I don't see why he can't do a fun bit like this every now and then. He's not going for what Fallon does, but for the love of.....does everything have to be about Trump? no, the answer's no. :-)
+Mahmood Toorani You clearly missed his wit during this bit. The way he judges the plates is the same way the judges do on the show. He even mocks the audience for yelling "EAT IT!" calling it a battle cry. So don't worry Fallon and Colbert are both hilarious in their own ways.
Was the Smooshed intro from Hydraulic Press Channel?
Did Colbert pay the good folks at the Hydraulic Press channel for their image? Because he certainly didn't credit them.
+David Petty You should write a letter
EAT IT! EAT IT!
Sookie is an amazing cook!
3:46 WHY, YOU LITTLE...!
Hydraulic press channel clip
Shokugeki no Soma comes to mind when I see Stephen eating the gross "dishes"
I know what I'm making for dinner tonight!
And people in foreign countries are starving to death.
Watching Stephen eat that almost made me throw up
