And he did this without giving in and being a dumb comedian which shows he was a master of his craft and smart as hell.

See Jimmy Fallon's ratings drop while he didn't focus on Trump until recently, for proof.

      The only time I liked him is when he and Amy Poehler did the news segment on SNL. He's just awful now...but still better than the clowns they have doing it now.

    Norm MacDonald is just so UNDER RATED !!! Also very cerebral and right on target here. I was LMAO when he took the phone call, and even more when he signs off "I love you" which is just hilarious. Thanks VERY FAKE NEWS !!!

      jamada d from memory people who know him say that he doesn't abuse drugs or alcohol.
      His problem I think was gambling.

      He is not underrated. He is just not that profitable.
      Also, other comedians see stand up as a step on their carreer, not norm. He likes the art form.
      I think he is where he wants to be.

      Dr Bruce the lady who interviewed him is his sister in law so it makes the "I love you" a little more relevant haha

      That's LITERALLY what Colbert has been reduced to. I've watched him just to see how many seconds he could go without mentioning Trump. All he has to do is say the name and his braindead audience instantly clap and cheer like automatons.
