      @@JacaboBlanco Colbert's problem is he spent over a decade interviewing people behind a satirical lens in the Colbert Report and Daily Show. He was able to say things he wouldn't normally feel like saying to guests because it was a satire and he was playing a character. That skill doesn't always translate to genuine interviews and he comes off kinda boring because of it.
      I didn't expect his run on The Late Show to be just like Colbert Report but I was hoping he'd still have some of that comedy/journalistic edge but it's mostly gone from what I've seen.
