Not a lot of luck involved. If he has harassed women, he deserves to be let go. I doubt it though, but hey, I didn't think it was true of George Takei or Kevin Spacey either.
Billy Bush, the guy who did the least (witnessing future POTUS confess to sexual assault), almost immediately lost his job. Some sexual assaulters still keep theirs weeks & months later.
I disagree I'm one who get's quickly bored so 5 minutes tops per video suits me very wel and with guys as boon pointing out the correct order I couldn't wish for more.
Probably the same way that any decent person would feel when someone they know is accused of horrible things. So glad you are focused on the famous Matt/Ellen connection.
I thought that too, but if I had to guess...Ellen won't talk to him anymore, her show really isn't about talking about all the real world gossip and exploiting it like talk show hosts do(Colbert, etc....which is fine, he's a comedian and this is his kind of material). Ellen's show is supposed to let people escape for an hour a day without having to deal with any of this real-life drama
Still remember Matt's "Interview" with Anne Hathaway, when she was there to talk about Les Miserable...And he wanted to talk about photo taken of her inappropriately. He said I've seen ALOT of you lately.
+Humboldt Hip-Neck Hangout "yeah, good thing Colbert never makes jokes like that..." .....while also being a sexual predator himself. There, I finished it for you. And yes, that is a good thing.
Christina S. Because it is a 400+ page document that no one has actually read (past the title) yet everyone is blindly for. Net neutrality is not net neutral. Just like the patriot act is not patriotic, the affordable healthcare act isnt affordable and the federal reserve act is not federal and there are no reserves. Basically whenever you see legislation. Think of it as the exact opposite of what the title says
Because nothing can be done about it by common people and politicians don't care because they are all so old they can't even use the internet without their grandkids help.
It would be snowflake behaviour, if i would slowly fall hundreds of meters and then either melt or become part of a gigantic army of simmiliar beings. I am just easily annoyed, by hearing the same thing over and over again.
I can't love you more! I seriously had the exact same thoughts as you and your writers. I was extra focused on the ppl outside NBC studios with their signs as I thought "Man, when they look at this footage, they will likely be a bit shocked & embarrassed" but you can't fault them, they didn't know. I would've LOVED to see someone call them while it was on and see their face as the realization sunk in! :-)
Lauer was always a shit journalist, remember how slanted toward Trump his 2016 presidential interviews were? It shouldn't come as a great surprise to hear he was spending his day playing selfish little games instead of accomplishing anything. I hope his former coworkers have been able to get on with their lives if they've left, or will be able to now if they're still at the Today Show.
Treat these as good lessons.. No one is irreplaceable No one is perfect. Sexual hareassment is bad mmkay. Matt lauer was shit at explaining the internet being a good thing.
Yet it WAS his voice when the tapes came out. And what does POTUS think will happen when Billy Bush and the Access Hollywood cameraman are interviewed? Trump is a raving idiot.

If anything horrible ever comes out about Colbert, I am seriously going to cry. He's one of the few people left who actually gives me a tiny bit of hope that not everyone and everything in this world is total sh*t.
All these people replying to you are jerks. You're right. There are plenty of trans people and men who cross dress who would never think about assaulting or harassing another person.
Robert Bemister Any references to go along with that statement? None of the cross dressers I know, behave inappropriately (sexually speaking). Also, not one single paedophile, that I personally know, is a cross dresser.
Mr. Colbert, you are wrong about appropriate sexual behavior not existing in the workplace! You obviously have never been to a pornography studio! Keep an open mind!
It makes sense Twump doesn't come out and say outright that he has these doubts regarding the tapes, and also that he privately sees it fit to voice his concern. He did admit on nationwide TV to being on that tape and he has to stand up to that even if he truthfully didn't have time to examine the tape himself. Everything else is simply below his standart. Besides, since he exactly didn't have time to examine that tape and find out it whether it was a fabrication or not, being questioned like that, he just had to go with it, not knowing what else might crop up. It's a key tactic, that if you can disproove or dodge, embrace. Unfortunatly for him, this time it jumped up and bit him on his ass. But Melania is still his wife, so - he can't be all Manly about it. He has to try and at least ease her worries. And so he tells aides and assistants as he comes across them, that the vid is fake. In hopes they'll pass it on to her.
Why aren't any, and I mean any, of these guys being jailed or officially reprimanded for these acts???!!! From Fracken on down to now Lauer. They all just get to go with their lives after leaving a trail of damaged women's lives?! Doesn't seem right to me.
The sexual misconduct/harassment/abuse/predation thing is exhausting. It has stretched beyond the entertainment industry and it's taken flight to many other nations, especially those nations with English as the predominant language. Since the first week of October we've seen a seemingly ceaseless line of men who appear to think abusing power is fine. Beyond the abuse itself, the worst aspect is how much money is being made off the back of saturation coverage.
Unfortunately, accusing someone of inappropriate behavior is damaging to your reputation as well. Even the most egregious behavior toward you will have bosses reconsidering your promotion or raises. You become a liability when you have done nothing but be victimized. Be careful and consult a mentor before you openly reveal the harassment.
Appropriate sexual behaviour in the work place...depends on the work place...movies, TV, models of certain varieties...they all make a living in a work place.....but not in a news room!
A smug question: Why are there immediate consequences in the entertainment and show industry but seemingly no consequences in Politics concerning alleged sexual predators???
God I hope that my generation can change this. I would never, ever even think about making an unwanted advance in any way on a woman. Any person, regardless or gender/race/religion/age/or fucking anything, has absolutely no excuse to ever make somebody feel uncomfortable or degraded.
Holy shit...Katie Couric told the world how much of a creep Matt Lauer was back in 2012! It took almost 5 years to oust him and people on the "Today Show" acted SO SURPRISED...c'mon!
"I'm one of the few men still allowed on television" ... Don't jynx it Stephen!!!!!!!
Shreyas Y D I started to like your comment and clicked "like", then quickly unclicked cuz it said 13th...yeah. Let's not jinx it. LOL...😂😏😞
r8v3n Nunya well now it's at 15 so it is safe I guess...
Shreyas Y D Well dammit! Ha! 👍
Not a lot of luck involved. If he has harassed women, he deserves to be let go. I doubt it though, but hey, I didn't think it was true of George Takei or Kevin Spacey either.
Souradeep Sengupta just proves that you never know how a person treats others. Specially not those that you just don’t know irl.
Billy Bush, the guy who did the least (witnessing future POTUS confess to sexual assault), almost immediately lost his job. Some sexual assaulters still keep theirs weeks & months later.
To be fair, Billy Bush was also egging Trump on.
Absolutely. What nailed him is when he told the woman to kiss Trump.
Colbert > Fallon.
Jatin Agarwal - Agreed. I feel like Fallon seems kinda fake sometimes? Maybe that’s just me idk
Fallon *hears about Matt Lauer* : OMG!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! *hitting on table intensifies* That's crazy!! =D
They're different; can't be compared.
Yes they are because Colbert sold himself
Colbert > Fallon, Meyers, Noah, Conan.
Oliver > Colbert.
Harvey Weinstein : If I am going down i am taking everybody with me.
Siddhant Bhoite not what he’s discussing
Good, let him take out all the shitbags
Hope that's the case.
I hope he does..
Then we'll all see what Hollywood has been up to..
Please do, Mr. Weinstein. Please do.
I hope there are never accusations against Stephen! I'd be sad
I'd feel betrayed, then crushed, then pissed.
Id feel exactly the same emotions but in the reverse order.
david white Well I for one am outraged! Where are these harassers? I'm grabbing my pitchfork now
I hope he places hire hands appropriately when hugging guests
david white I feel your pain...
I'm starting to realize people are a lot weirder then I thought.
ScottTheAngel trust no one
Haha 😂
Thank God we still have Colbert to walk us through this 2017 nightmarish nonsense.
You get a car! Conan's better
I hear Colbert isn't as innocent as he makes out.
Yea, 2017 sure was rough lol
One of the few men allowed on television 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Denying what you already admitted is a sign of insanity.
Monologue Order:
1. Why Matt Lauer Wasn't On 'Today' Today
2. There's Going To Be A Royal Wedding!
Again, thanks for this. It makes things easier. I wish they would just upload the whole damn monologue.
Or at the VERY least, number them!
Or set their flippin' playlists up on time..
I disagree I'm one who get's quickly bored so 5 minutes tops per video suits me very wel and with guys as boon pointing out the correct order I couldn't wish for more.
I wanna know how Ellen feels about this. She had a prank war with him.
Mujtaba Ibrahim it isn't her fault so it doesn't really matter
Probably the same way that any decent person would feel when someone they know is accused of horrible things. So glad you are focused on the famous Matt/Ellen connection.
I thought that too, but if I had to guess...Ellen won't talk to him anymore, her show really isn't about talking about all the real world gossip and exploiting it like talk show hosts do(Colbert, etc....which is fine, he's a comedian and this is his kind of material). Ellen's show is supposed to let people escape for an hour a day without having to deal with any of this real-life drama
Ellen is a miserable person
Mujtaba Ibrahim ellen is a white feminist so she might defend him or still be friends with him. Just like she did with johnny depp.
0:07 The way he says "Today, Matt Lauer was let go from NBC's morning show The Today Show This Morning Today" reminds me a lot of classic Letterman.
The next domino to fall....Geraldo Rivera. He just oozes creepy.
You mean Sean Insanity?
Debbie Stonum There's been allegations of groping.
I heard Colbert can't really speak.. Apparently, he's done some really bad things himself.

Suggesting that cross-dressing is a sign of being a sexual predator in any way is unfair and simply false. I cringed at that part.
That end segment earned you a new subscriber. It is about as satisfying as “Skip Ad”
Where tf were you!! Dont leave like this!!
Habiba KB hey you guys have it nice, John Oliver is off 2 months taking a canoe back to Britain or something
I know :( I was so happy to see him on Seth yesterday. So selfish of them to have lives outside of entertaining us and keeping us sane.
I lost my shit at Lincoln.
Rhythmicons have u find it yet?
Same, that was so great.
I hope you were watching this on the loo while pinching one off...
I lost my shit again at the tax vote.
They wrote a book about Trump, its called the DSM-5. Check it out.
Nick Angelos Truth!
Seriously, I did. Hoooooly shit.
Nick Angelos They wrote a book about trump called Mobey Dick.
Don't talk shit about whales.
Nick Angelos Its not about Trump.
Still remember Matt's "Interview" with Anne Hathaway, when she was there to talk about Les Miserable...And he wanted to talk about photo taken of her inappropriately. He said I've seen ALOT of you lately.
Jose Garza yeah, good thing Colbert never makes jokes like that...
Yeah, he is such a classy guy
+Humboldt Hip-Neck Hangout "yeah, good thing Colbert never makes jokes like that..." .....while also being a sexual predator himself.
There, I finished it for you. And yes, that is a good thing.
'still remember...' like you didnt just see that in the news and you've been waiting five years to write this comment
Jose Garza omg that’s true
why does nobody talk about net neutrality?!
They do, but the videos are not available in your country.
Christina S.
Because it is a 400+ page document that no one has actually read (past the title) yet everyone is blindly for.
Net neutrality is not net neutral. Just like the patriot act is not patriotic, the affordable healthcare act isnt affordable and the federal reserve act is not federal and there are no reserves. Basically whenever you see legislation. Think of it as the exact opposite of what the title says
It doesn't make the media as much money as talking about the sexual allegations.
Because nothing can be done about it by common people and politicians don't care because they are all so old they can't even use the internet without their grandkids help.
Didn't John Oliver do something on that?
Hey, I like the new outro.
Now it's nice. Wait one-two weeks and it will be annoying as hell^^
It gives us a new reason to want the monologue in once piece
Alresu something that unimportant would annoy you? That's snowflake behavior
It would be funny if they actually had skipable ads on this channel
It would be snowflake behaviour, if i would slowly fall hundreds of meters and then either melt or become part of a gigantic army of simmiliar beings.
I am just easily annoyed, by hearing the same thing over and over again.
3:01 best Trump impression ever 😂😂😂😂
I can't love you more! I seriously had the exact same thoughts as you and your writers. I was extra focused on the ppl outside NBC studios with their signs as I thought "Man, when they look at this footage, they will likely be a bit shocked & embarrassed" but you can't fault them, they didn't know.

Word
Appropriate sexual behavior in the workplace exists. Just go to a porn set during filming.
For a video titled what happened to Matt Lauer this went from Matt Lauer to Trump very quickly
It always goes back to him which only feeds his narcissism.
Don't think I could make it through this crisis, i.e., Trump Presidency, without Stephen Colbert! Thanks for all the cathartic laughter!
Lauer was always a shit journalist, remember how slanted toward Trump his 2016 presidential interviews were? It shouldn't come as a great surprise to hear he was spending his day playing selfish little games instead of accomplishing anything. I hope his former coworkers have been able to get on with their lives if they've left, or will be able to now if they're still at the Today Show.
Sean you’re right
Treat these as good lessons..
No one is irreplaceable
No one is perfect.
Sexual hareassment is bad mmkay.
Matt lauer was shit at explaining the internet being a good thing.
0:50 dressing in drag doesn't mean you're obsessed with women. That's a dangerous statement there to nearly offending the drag community
*Gets nuked by North Korea*
"Standby for an emergency broadcast by the President."
Trump: *W O W*
USA nuked by North Korea, citizens wait for presidential address.......
On Twitter: "I alone can handle Little Rocket Man."
Anyone else notice Colbert has been strangely silent on Net Neutrality?
"Mr Elegant says it's not my voice"
Yet it WAS his voice when the tapes came out. And what does POTUS think will happen when Billy Bush and the Access Hollywood cameraman are interviewed? Trump is a raving idiot.
I totally choked on my water at "Wow."
Damn you, Stephen!
Come on Mueller, whats taking you so long!
Moon Na

Missed you :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
alexdapostman are you a troll or a fucking dumbass?
Stephen Colbert is the king of late night. He is the best thing to happen to late night tv since Conan moved to tbs.

Ramond If you don't like it, don't click, watch and write a butthurt comment about it.
I am a REPUBLICAN and I think Stephen Colbert is really funny and awesome at what he does.
Agree completely!!! So entertaining, informative and sarcastic
Random Name In the words of your president , " Wow " ...
Maybe Trump is saying that wasn't him in the trailer, maybe it was him saying that wasn't him in the apology video.
I love you Mr. Colbert, you sir have my respect.
"WE don't think it was my voice"
I see, his name really IS "Legion."
No wonder Fallon is losing ratings. Colbert is a beast at monologues.
Matt Lauer's next job is a creative consultant on the next 50 Shades of grey movie, LOL.
No, no, no; you got it all wrong.
He's using the royal "we".
Well, WE think he sounds like an idiot.
I will not abide another toe.
We are way too drunk to understand what you are saying
i do not think what happened in that Russian Hotel suite was royal...
Well, his presidency is a royal fuck-up, so I guess he at least earned that.
All the voices in my head...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Trump says, "Wow," just like Palin says, "Gee wilikers. You betcha."
Or like Biden says, "Duuuuhhh"
If anything horrible ever comes out about Colbert, I am seriously going to cry. He's one of the few people left who actually gives me a tiny bit of hope that not everyone and everything in this world is total sh*t.
On the "Wow" comment:
Owen Wilson should play Trump in the biopic.
That evil laugh at 4:39 is hilarious
It's probably not socially responsible to equate cross-dressing with sexual misconduct.
Blackholefourspam
Uh oh, you triggered an internet bully! Better watch yourself!

especially in this age of closely guarded personal ignorance
I was taught that if a man exposes himself to me I should laugh and point.!
Mr. Colbert, you are wrong about appropriate sexual behavior not existing in the workplace! You obviously have never been to a pornography studio!
Keep an open mind!

Matt Erbst I applaud you good sir

Wtf Matt. Why is he wearing women clothing for Halloween, that many times?
I've already subscribed, Stephen. :)
Where was Stephen the past few days?
Declan Anders dnd game ran long
That Subscribe ad is on point! Haha
And Lucy...Good Grief!!
Real class, Colbert. Using sexual harrassement to get laughs and make yourself feel better just places you in the scum bucket too.
TRUMP NEEDS TO RESIGN NOW!!
or what, hero?
I agree, Fuck Trump!
#ImpeachTrump
LOL. More like Trump kicked out 202. If he doesn't get impeached first.
LOL. more like he will get Impeached or defeated in 2020. The fascist Orange Turd is destroying America.
The best thing about Matt Lauer was when he asked HRC pointed questions about her emails before the election and made her squirming mad.
Maybe Hillary took some revenge. You never know...
*I hope this show lives forever!* 😂😂😂😍💕
Oh, Stephen!!! You are the king of "stupid" funny. Thanks man.
Oh man, I hope that opening line never comes back to bight him.
Horrox101 I agree, he lives in a "glass house" so to speak
Horrox101 it won’t
Aaronstark19 I'm sure it won't, I enjoy him!
Oh it will. It always does.
It's "bite" you fucking moron.
It is interesting that it was Matt Lauer who announced that Billy Bush is fired from the NBC . Now where is Billy and where is Matt Lauer?
Wow. Trump is lame.
There is appropriate sexual behaviour in the workplace if you work at a brothel
Okay you win
Ok I gotta ask, Where in the world is Matt Lauer and does Matt need a lawyer ?
Matt Lauer needs a lawyer.
Last time I came this early I was crying alone on my bed.
NBC should hire Ann Curry to take his place. KARMA!
*Matt* _Matt_ MATT! Were You being _Glib?_
Imagine if this had happened in the 70s....how many accusations we'd have. I bet the Marilyn Monroe story would've been different.
Stephen Colbert, you are fucking brilliant.
Why DT is not fired after women complaint of sexual assault by him
Go Hawks? Is it game day already?
Too bad our team was ass this year.
Why aren't any, and I mean any, of these guys being jailed or officially reprimanded for these acts???!!! From Fracken on down to now Lauer. They all just get to go with their lives after leaving a trail of damaged women's lives?! Doesn't seem right to me.
Avengers Infinity War trailer was awesome! 🤘🎸

Appropriate sexual behaviour in the work place...depends on the work place...movies, TV, models of certain varieties...they all make a living in a work place.....but not in a news room!
4:43 Finally Stephen Colbert shut up Jon Batiste
As Will Ferrell as Rick Marshall would say, "MATT LAUER CAN SUCK IT" LOLOLOLOLOL Get your copy on amazon lol
Is Stephen shaming cross-dressing/drag?
Yeah, that part was iffy.
A.O Chika Probably not, but he should be.
When the bar couldn't get any Lauer...
the Donald voice is getting annoying lol
Josh Jackson well trump himself is annoying
Trumps real voice is more annoying
what does "skip ad" mean? what are these so called "ADS" ?? ... never heard of em...
thank u doctor...
Good to see the beginning of this show....missed it tonight here in Australia!
Almost as satisfying as skip ad you know me to well.
Like the new outro!
I STILL CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!!!
A smug question: Why are there immediate consequences in the entertainment and show industry but seemingly no consequences in Politics concerning alleged sexual predators???
ratings? money?
I hope you are clean, Stephen. I have high respect for you & won't want to see you being fired or accused of such behaviour.
"I'm gonna say what that woman could not at that moment, 'What a dick!'". I applaud your excellent grammar.
I was wondering why nothing was reported and seemingly not happening despite all industries seem to be built on cocaine.
“Karen look at my penis!” Rofl
This is hysterical! Well done!
Wow, someone accused of sexual assault and a purveyor of actual fake news commenting on such things.
God I hope that my generation can change this. I would never, ever even think about making an unwanted advance in any way on a woman. Any person, regardless or gender/race/religion/age/or fucking anything, has absolutely no excuse to ever make somebody feel uncomfortable or degraded.
"That's the pot calling the kettle at 3am and asking what she's wearing"
Holy shit...Katie Couric told the world how much of a creep Matt Lauer was back in 2012! It took almost 5 years to oust him and people on the "Today Show" acted SO SURPRISED...c'mon!
I don’t understand how he is still the president!
Wow, Stephen finally did a subscribe ad. It's almost as satisfying as [clicking] SKIP AD.
