Steve Martin and David Letterman talking about late fatherhood recently. Letterman said no one told him how much fun kids are. That captures my feelings as a non-father. Sounds like you were one of lateral-thinking little tykes in your day.
My dear friend, the late Fr. Dave Mura, from the Rochester (NY) Diocese, was a clown and had a ministry called, "Fools for Christ's Sake." The message being when we smile, God smiles too. I'm glad our Pope recognizes the importance of humor for the human spirit. Thank you Stephen for representing US!
After almost 2,000 years of mass murder, polytheism, and idolatry, the Pope can afford to smile. He's not bad, for a Catholic, but that's already a ridiculously low bar. Said with all due respect to decent Catholics.
why are they barely coming to laughter after all decades of so much secrecy, war, and injustice? What's next? He's riding space X? Okay Does proverbs also mention the devil disguised as an angel? Or does it mention church power, dominance over other beliefs and their greed is International. The Bible# book sold in the world. You would think that a lot less people would die of hunger with all this profit but instead, look at the golden Palace the pope lives in. The first class travel and all the royal treatments he must get. What a shame
Since most people will probably just read that and not bother to look it up for themselves, I want to clarify that what the verse actually says is "a joyful heart is good medicine" (in the NASB). Of course, there are a bunch of different translations, but you can look at 56 different translations on Bible Gateway, and not a blessed one of them uses the words "laughter" or "best".
When we visited Italy in 2012, and stopped by a Catholic middle school in Colle di Val d'Elsa, they were literally rehearsing Sister Act. We stayed to see the production in the nearby theater. Fantastic!
As an Italian, I can confirm that this film is still massively appreciated across the country, and I'm a young fan myself! Apart from the cultural background, I think the voice acting was another key factor of the movie's success in Italy, since it did a great job in recreating the wit and the charisma of the original performances.
I love when Colbert makes it a point to introduce/chat with the band & guest musicians. These are some of the best & most creative talents~Just look at where Jon Batiste ended up? 🎶🙂🏆🎼
I believe that comedians helped save the lives of millions of us during these Trump tribulations, because if not for you we would have all gone crazy. 🤯
I was thrilled for you to be invited to see Pope Francis. I love also that Whoopie has visited him before. It makes me feel like a part of me got to share in the honor.
I got over Covid in one day simply by watching replays of the old Colbert Report online. Guaranteed non-stop laughing. Virus didn't know what hit it -- completely blown away -right out of my body. Laughter is the Best healer and long live Papa Francisco!
It's moving that The Pope said when you comedians make us smile that it makes God laugh too! It made me tear up, knowing how much those words must have meant to all you, Amazing Comedians! Bless your hearts and souls for making us laugh and usually at really difficult and hard subjects to face! But some how you sprinkle a little magic on these impossible subjects and jazz them up to invoke laughter from your audience's. Lightening up HEAVY and often Heartbreaking topics to drag them out into the public square and poke fun at whatever topics are currently in the news or happening globally. You truly are brilliant at turning lemons into lemonade. Thank you all for making the World a better place! 🕊💞🪷🥸🤠👑🎉🙏🏼

People who say that Stephen should have spoken to the Pope in Spanish since he's from Argentina, may have forgotten that Pope Francis is fluent in Italian (which is the official language of the Vatican City) and German, and is conversant in Latin (the official language of the Holy See), French, Portuguese, and English.
Well, it really depends on what you mean by “fluent.” Obviously, he’s fluent in his native Spanish However, as an Italian I can assure you ,that while he can speak Italian, it is heavily accented, and at times difficult to understand. While he is able to read liturgical Latin, very few priests in the Vatican, including the pope, can actually speak Latin since it is a dead language. Secondly, having the ability to say a few words in some of the languages you mentioned does not make him”fluent,” even if with some effort he can read a short prepared speech in those languages. Although Francis did study English for a short period of time, he was never fluent and really dislikes the language. Several years ago when he spoke to the United States Congress, he practiced over three months for his short speech which he delivered in halting English.. Both when he travels and has meetings with foreign dignities who do not speak either Spanish or Italian, the pope always has an interpreter with him. In the last meeting Pope Francis had with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in the Vatican which was shown on Vatican TV, Francis had an interpreter to translate from Italian to English. The suggestion that Pope Francis is “fluent “in English or any of the other languages which were mentioned, is prosperous . Unfortunately, unlike past popes, Francis is not a polyglot.
@@doit2810 I just finished watching a Spanish film made in Argentina. While there are certain words or phrases which may have been adopted into Argentinian Spanish from Italian, (They use Ciao to say good bye) it is still almost exclusively standard Spanish pronunciation and inflection as is generally found in Central and South America.
We need humor to uplift our spirits. Thank you, Stephen and all who met with Pope Francis. Most importantly, for me, I was so glad to discover Randy Rainbow on UTube. His parodies , spot-on humor, music, and performances were & still ARE Wonderful Breaths of Fresh Air & Laughter. Randy's autobigraphy book is hilarious , too. Randy Rainbow continues to be my God-send while navigating thru Orange Don, his aiders, abettors, and flatterers. Don's worse than chewing gum on the sidewalk.
Love this!!! Yooo Trombone Shorty!! I love that this show puts the band and its members on full display and introduces their musical guests (who are always epic musicians btw). The Pope is awesome to have invited yall and gave such a lovely speech ❤ Best. Show. Ever. Love me some Stephen Colbert 🥰 (and I laugh, gut busting on many occasions, if that makes you feel better!)

I am an atheist as well.. and I absolutely appreciate the big deal. Just from the history and anthropological sense, it is quite something. Especially if you are a believer, I can see how much bigger th deal gets.
My uncle got an audience with the pope, saying something like "I figured that's just what you do when you vacation in Rome." That's when I learned that my uncle is one of the 0.1%.
0.1% of what? Doesn’t matter because I won’t be coming back. But you could say what, otherwise people don’t know what you’re saying either. 0.1% of the rich? Or the smart? Or the most special because of a particular topic or subject. Is it a sport, a musical instrument? 0.1% could be anything, everything or nothing.
So what you are saying is no ordinary scum could ever hope to get close to this man. Cool. I’m also not interested in him getting close to me. Considering what the Catholics have done to children, all over the planet, for decades.
Joy is outdoors. Its not always on a screen or book. We need to appreciate what God is showing us, his beautiful creation. Go out people, free your bodies from your room or desks. Enjoy the morning and evening sun. Go to a rose garden. To hike. Bird watch. Ride your bikes to the beautiful mountains and breathe. God wants you to go out and find him in everything he created. Within yourselves as well because he created you. Feel God's joy by enjoying everything outside around you because before you know it, you're confined to a bed without appreciating God's grace.Luke 17:21The Kindom Of Heaven Within...
@@beatrixkiddo7083its a comedy bit Stephen used to do where he starts by saying he's so busy he can't get to confession often enough so he asks the audience to hear his confession. Then he pretends to be sitting in a confessional and admits to a weird list of stuff that isn't exactly sinful (but he does feel bad about them!). It's always off beat, ironic, sarcastic, and funny (with a lot of political & self-deprecating humor). He usually manages to have an alcoholic beverage hidden in the confessional as well... At the end he asks the audience to absolve him and they forgive him in unison. It's hard to describe but it was one of my favorite bits too!
I am SO happy you brought back God!!! I just adored the 'God bits' over the years. I seem to remember him with a little more visual clarity, however. Perhaps I'm mistaken. Anyway, the next time you bring back the "Giant Hat" or whatever it was called, I'll tune in for that, too! Bravo!
Glad I’m not the only person who actually liked Big Furry Hat. The Late Show was def going through growing pains in those early years, but it had its charms too.
Pope Pancho (diminutive for Francisco in Spanish) is da bomb...he's got more crazy Cardinals and Bishops to keep straight than anyone should ever have to. May he live long and strong.
As a Catholic Christian Stephen should know that Making a Joke of the "Holy Spirit' is a Mortal Unforgiveable Sin* Jesus Name has been Used as one for Millions of times! And well, he said so himself " All can be forgiven but?.... (The rest? if you read his gospels. U know)
It's a huge relief to know that when I am the cause of people smiling, that God is smiling, too. Because I'm quite certain I get people to laugh at me daily, and I am not even a comedian. I think it's more of a challenge to get a comedian to crack a smile. You know we all love you, Stephen Colbert. :)
Hahahaha I adore that Stephen has so much fun with his visit it really was an honor and the Pope is right about the smiling thing ! But what’s up with taking sisters both you and Fallon ?? Sweet tho 💜🩷
Evie couldn't get the time off work & Jimmy's wife had to stay. With their son who has special medical needs. Both their Mom's are too old to travel that far. So is Jimmy's Dad & Stephen's Dad is dead, so they took their next available relatives with them, their sisters.
I live and work in Chicago, I’m looking forward for the excuse to work from home the week of the DNC. I’m in the queue for tickets though so 🤞🏻. Pretty much the only reason I’ll venture downtown that week.
Conservative "jokes" are cruel, making fun of the lost and least and the poor and the marginalized whom Jesus loves. Conservative humor does not make God smile.
Lapsed Catholic here - I think it's important to look beyond history, at the church today and what it's doing today to atone for its past and serve better in the future. I think they've done incredible things lately, though they've still got plenty of work to do. Like Il Papa likes to say, "Who am I to judge?" If you knew my history you might judge me harshly, but then you'd never know me, only who I was in the past.
Steven, I'm glad you fulfilled one thing off your bucket list! All my Italian in-laws are Cadillacs (Catholic) did you ask him to pray for america? Oh, he already is!
4:29 How much, Stephen? How MUCH sour cream?! It's not at all arbitrary. These things require precision, Mr. Colbert. One mustn't ruin the cake in pursuit of perfection simply due to missing data. You're better than this, sir.
When he mentioned it, I immediately took note to google a recipe using sour cream to find out the amount to add! Also I have a friend who will add a box of pudding (dry of course) to regular cake mix when she didn’t feel like making a cake completely from scratch. It made it more moist, flavorful and folks thought it was scratch. Also doesn’t hurt to have a reputation as a baker in advance. 😜
When I was a little girl, I used to tell God jokes when I prayed. I thought he needed it, because I heard how hard other people asked for him work.
That's awesome.
That’s fantastic!
Aw, that was sweet! I bet He loved it. Do you still do that? (Staying childlike is a Godly thing to do...)

Why does God sound just like the Sea Captain in Seth Meyer's attic?
Pope Pancho (diminutive for Francisco in Spanish) is da bomb...he's got more crazy Cardinals and Bishops to keep straight than anyone should ever have to. May he live long and strong.
Great to see Shawty join the band.
I pray Colbert can get past the pearly gates through the son. You're a beautiful soul Colbert. Keep on keeping on.
Conan met the pope? can't wait to hear about it on his podcast.
As a Catholic Christian Stephen should know that Making a Joke of the "Holy Spirit' is a Mortal Unforgiveable Sin* Jesus Name has been Used as one for Millions of times! And well, he said so himself " All can be forgiven but?.... (The rest? if you read his gospels. U know)
... well, maybe an exception can be made here. I'll ask my uncle Peter.
No.
@@mauijttewaal ... (don't be sure, you're not God).
It's a huge relief to know that when I am the cause of people smiling, that God is smiling, too. Because I'm quite certain I get people to laugh at me daily, and I am not even a comedian. I think it's more of a challenge to get a comedian to crack a smile. You know we all love you, Stephen Colbert. :)
Hahahaha I adore that Stephen has so much fun with his visit it really was an honor and the Pope is right about the smiling thing ! But what’s up with taking sisters both you and Fallon ?? Sweet tho 💜🩷
Evie couldn't get the time off work & Jimmy's wife had to stay. With their son who has special medical needs. Both their Mom's are too old to travel that far. So is Jimmy's Dad & Stephen's Dad is dead, so they took their next available relatives with them, their sisters.
Stephen's mom is dead.@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980
Evvie is Presbyterian, so meeting the Pope would mean more to Stephen's sister
The band is so good!
I live and work in Chicago, I’m looking forward for the excuse to work from home the week of the DNC. I’m in the queue for tickets though so 🤞🏻. Pretty much the only reason I’ll venture downtown that week.
✊🏾💯🙏🏾🔥🥛🐝(T)Hanks for your comedic contribution to the rolling circus that is all of….this.Stay.Blessed
More of the band, please. Thanks J for the sour cream tip, will try that.
It's a great tip. Makes cakes very moist
More close camera action shots of the baaaaaand!!! 🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥💖💖💖
Trombone Shorty's awesome!
Thank you both ❤
That there are no Republican comedians (at least not on purpose) tells me all I need to know and always has.
Conservative "jokes" are cruel, making fun of the lost and least and the poor and the marginalized whom Jesus loves. Conservative humor does not make God smile.
GOP humor sucks. Only T. is funny!😅
Stephen Colbert was a light during some of those dark early covid days. That’s no small deal, and for that he should be proud
❤❤❤❤❤ perfetto. Tu sai parlare la lingua italiana ❤❤❤❤ heyyyyyyyy caro stefano
I'm so happy for you!
Comedy is the best antidote against Trump, MAGA, MTG and MAGA Mike! John Paul II used to talk about the "laugh" (love) of God!
😂 God bless you, sir! Hahaha
Pope Francis is very special.
Born and raised Catholic. Struggling to balance the Churches History with my morality.
There’s an excellent book you should read called Bullies and Saints by John Dickson that you might find really helpful.
Lapsed Catholic here - I think it's important to look beyond history, at the church today and what it's doing today to atone for its past and serve better in the future. I think they've done incredible things lately, though they've still got plenty of work to do. Like Il Papa likes to say, "Who am I to judge?" If you knew my history you might judge me harshly, but then you'd never know me, only who I was in the past.
The Church’s history contains saints and sinners and everything in between
I wandered when God was coming back to the show. I miss those moments with him up there. They always made ME smile and laugh.
Well,God has been busy the last little while. Lol
@@justmenb3379 I say he does as much as our Republicans in the House! 😉
Trombone Shorty!!! OMG I would love to be in that audience!!! ❤❤❤
so great to see so much talent playing with your wondrous band ... thank you
Whoopi was right. Even my dad, who is not into anything other than Westerns, loves to watch Vuupi !
Steven, I'm glad you fulfilled one thing off your bucket list! All my Italian in-laws are Cadillacs (Catholic) did you ask him to pray for america? Oh, he already is!
Sister Act did more for church attendance than anyone I can remember. Didn't last, but still.
4:29 How much, Stephen? How MUCH sour cream?! It's not at all arbitrary. These things require precision, Mr. Colbert. One mustn't ruin the cake in pursuit of perfection simply due to missing data. You're better than this, sir.
When he mentioned it, I immediately took note to google a recipe using sour cream to find out the amount to add!
Also I have a friend who will add a box of pudding (dry of course) to regular cake mix when she didn’t feel like making a cake completely from scratch. It made it more moist, flavorful and folks thought it was scratch. Also doesn’t hurt to have a reputation as a baker in advance. 😜
Found a recipe for sour cream pound cake. Super easy! 1/2 cup sc
But Google if interested 😊
No more than a cup.
@@debbiedoodiedandi this is The Way.
Love Trombone Shorty
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was SO 😂😂🤣🤣 clearly thinking “ we couldn’t get Tom Hanks”?
God made laughter he'd want people to have it, you bring it to them. You're part of the plan, of course, god is pleased with you.
0:14 we love Pope Francis 🙏🏻🤍🕊🇻🇦🇵🇭🩷😇🌷 #Pontifex #Peace
The deepest things are sometimes also the most beautiful.
I'd like the pope to take the Colbert questionaire - so we can know him better.
Beautiful
Er... nope.
