Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!" - บันเทิง

Holy shit, "Racism isn't getting worse, it's getting filmed" .. Perfectly put.
it's a good point. it is like the old saying that things aren't worse, it's just the news coverage is better.
+Lineage2MediaCom really racism against whites
+Lineage2MediaCom What do you mean?
+tiberiius Yeah exactly. For instance Global Warming has always been a problem and some people just don't want to face the music.
+MyricalLyrical huh?
“Racism is not getting worse- it’s getting filmed.” Almost 4 years later and this line has never rung more true.
So true
How he’s calling him self that
But it's all the white ppl that say this line
"Racism isn't getting worse, it's getting filmed"
- President Smith
+Alex B They weren't shot for being white; shot for being policemen. The murder of these fine men is despicable.. but white civilians probably weren't his target.
they were shot for being white policemen
+Alex B lol 500%!? Cops should be racist!? Why am I reading these comments. My brain is hurting the stupidity is too much.
+Alex B that percentage is false. you have not been to school. Please maybe search some of your theories on Google Scholar. I am not racist and never have been. Many times people who are racist are no longer so after they inform themselves. I appreciate that you believe what you are saying to be true but I encourage you to just maybe look up some of your ideas in an academic way so as to get real statistics. I don't think you're stupid and I take that back. Take care
+Alex B Have you experienced violence from black people first hand? I am sorry that you are racist. If you feel that way, I only ask that you try and treat everyone as an individual and please try to ignore that feeling until you are given reason to feel badly towards them, so that you do not harm or hate anyone that has no bad intentions towards you.
Will Smith has to be one of the most personable dude ever👍👍👍
And Stephen Colbert HATED him for it!
Agreed. He's incredibly sincere.
Unless you try to mouth kiss him, then you're getting bitch slapped.
hes a cunt
along with the rock
I want a movie with Will Smith and the rock....that would be charisma overload!
That movie Will Rock
+Incredible Zorro ba-dum-tiss
not ba-dum-tss, but We Will We Will Rock You!
Will Smith and Tom Cruise its due for too long!!
yeah please will and the rock
Man this dude just oozes with charisma. Great guy!
it's crazy man, it's like this guy was born with some kind of gene that makes him incredibly charming. whenever he comes on these kinds of interviews, all of my preconcieved notions about him and his family just melt away once he begins working the crowd lol
dude is a force of personality for sure
diegosam2010
He sure is. I noticed I had big fat grin on my face from the time he arrived on stage. I rarely have that with any other video.
Right! The Rock and Will Smith and even Obama are all so charismatic. I just can't stop smiling when they're on screen because of how down to earth they are.
TheCoolDoc
Absolutely agree. Those three are the most charismatic dudes I've seen.
true!
He's honestly so great and deserves all the success he's gotten.
Hell yeah!
Got
Yup
Great actor
Great personality
Great charisma
6:06 - "Racism is not getting worse, it's getting filmed."
honestly true
+Joey Arnold are you black
Joey its easier to fix racial issues than it is socioeconomic...
+Joey Arnold whites kill each other, Asians kill each other too...but would it be fair for the Islamic state terrorists group to bomb Americans because Americans kill each other? or because the native Americans where killed!
+Joey Arnold I'm almost 100 percent certain you don't give two shits about black on black crimes. You and every republican try to use that to shut BLM people up.
How can anyone hate this guy? Will Smith is still a Legend.
He even has a Movie to prove it
He is legend? Lol
+Lovin Spoonful LMFAO shut the fuck up
You have just set up a challenge for someone out there.
yup😁
In west Philadelphia
born and raised...
the playground is where i spent most of my days...
Definitely Won't have to worry bout that birth cert thing.
AYYYYY MACARENA
You had me in tears with macarena...
At least it wasn't North Philadelphia.
His answer about racism was analytical rather than emotional. Some might think it was cold, Colbert seemed to want something different, but I think he summarized the situation pretty well.
Thats the way to go ...distance yourself from the problem and be rational.
Ah, I see what you're getting at. Colbert being the ultra liberal probably wanted him to pick a side, encouraging blacks. Funny because Will handled that one like a politician and didn't pick with side.
+Osaji Obi I'm not sure what you mean about picking a side - there aren't any sides when talking about racism, but rather people who ignore incidents to better fit their narrative and people who don't think that this is okay. He didn't say anything that activists haven't been saying for years, but of course, the rhetoric that gets picked up by mainstream media is usually the super emotional or inflammatory statements. But when he said "racism is not getting worse, it's being filmed", he reminded me of a number of speeches/statements that activists have said recently. Black people don't need to be encouraged by celebrities in their outrage - what they see every day and experience on personal levels encourages them enough.
And Colbert seemed perfectly happy with his response, even engaging well in Smith's response and spurring him along.
It's true in families and relationships (speaking from my own experience) and I really do think it applies to the bigger picture. Sometimes problems get canned up for too long, a lot of repressed pain builds up, and a period of turmoil and shock ensues when the issues finally rise to the surface. In my experiences, the result has been a more honest, functional, and mature environment. It's sort of like when somebody is very badly constipated for days and finally takes that gigantic shit which threatens to tear his asshole apart as it exits, yet, when all is said and done, his bowels sing a glorious ode to freedom.
Uh...Obi? Politicians pick sides. Hence why there's Democrats, Republicans, Independents, etc. Hence why you use the term "ultra liberal" when describing Colbert...because sides have been picked.

Every interview Smith does he's always spot on...
It's the real top 10 archive holy cow

hi toparchive love your vids
Top 10 Archive Right??!?!?
He is an extraordinarily impressive person.
"Racism isn't getting worse, it's getting filmed"
Haven't heard something so real in a while
He is 47 (!) now?! He still looks like in his early 30s..
Black don't crack.

;-)!
+TheZchristina97 you're right. Samuel L. Jackson is two years older than Bill Murray but he looks 15 years younger.
baby blood
Black people don't age that easily
Back when Will Smith was a respectable man...
For as long as Will Smith has been on a T.V, music, and film star he has always been a good sport, and really attentive to the fans.
Will Smith is so fucking groovy
He's *fresh.*
*prince*
Of Bel-air
Now this...
is the story
"Lemme go kiss that lady" I love Will Smith so much lol
thats why i like the late show with steven colbert. he gives his guest longer than 5 minutes for an interview
He can still be the first Prince turned President
Find me a talk show host who consistently gets more depth out of his interview subjects than Colbert.

"Racism isn't getting worse, its getting filmed." Great line!!!

Nbs
This did not age well
Oof
@@millionfollowersoneday I mean they are still together. And they are the only ones who define if they are happy in their relationship so...
Will smith the black guy with so much charisma that even racists like him
Exactly
That was really well said. Plus we have to remember it's not white vs black vs asian it's hateful people vs non hateful people and both sides have a mix of all races. I'm dating a black guy(I'm white) and I've been getting angry lately because of how often we get harassed. It's hard not to get emotional over what people say and do to us sometimes. I almost started to hate white males but then I had to remind myself that 99.99% of white males around us don't bother us and it's just a couple of idiots. It's really hard after incidents happen though to be positive.
Will Smith is always in good spirits. He definitely views the entirety of the issues rather than personal opinions. I had the chance to meet him once and he was humble and genuine. No diva persona or i'm better than you attitude. Just straight up good guy. This is a guy people need to imitate!
Great point of view from Mr Will Smith.
Always darkest before the dawn...
Though in this case it is just nice sounding New Age bullshit. Let's be honest!
Meh... It's nice to pretend and imagine unicorns and rainbows for a minute.
oh i know right, i just imagine the pyro's dream from TF2
even after the darkest night morning always comes..
Very interesting view from him
I'm going to watch Suicide Squad, even though it is getting bad reviews, because Will is in it
It's getting bad reviews, but it hasn't been released? Was that anticipation?
www.metacritic.com/movie/suicide-squad?ref=hp
it's mainly from film critics who I'm guessing got the chance to see the film early
You should watch Jeremy jahns review. He's the only guy I trust with reviews and he loved it
Honestly, it looks great.
I haven't really been excited for any of the DC movies until this one.
Man of Steel was so boring I couldn't finish it, and Batman v Superman looked so dumb I didn't even bother.
This, though, has got my hyped.
Maybe the reviews are right and its garbage, but I'm willing to give it a shot, because honestly, critics are just giving their opinion, and as with anyone's opinion, some people will disagree.
Florence MacKenna I know that, but with metacritic, it's not just one opinion, but many, and because it's on the lower half, more people disliked it (or found it average) than liked it (or found it great)
so not all critics disliked it, but a majority did, so it stands to reason that a majority of people might dislike it (well critics often think differently from mainstream viewers, so maybe not)
I'll watch it, since I love superhero movies, and I try to support the market for them
Will Smith is soooo fine, and thankfully has a brain in his head as well.
Every time I see Will Smith interviewed, I'm so proud to be from Philly
"Cause you people would vote for you...you'd vote for him wouldn't you?" smooth save
Does Will Smith age cus he does NOT look like he's approaching on 50 years old.
Will Smith 2020!
Will Smith Vs. Kanye, i think we know will would win
yeahhh.....
no GRAHAM EIKENBERRY 2020
*2016
sadly :'(
His perspective is amazing☺
Intro Song was "You Saw My Blinker" off the '91 Homebase Album by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince for those wondering.
Thank you!
Thanks!!
Thank you so much.
bitch!
In West Philadelphia born and raised on the playground is where I spent most of my days
Here I am in the place where I come to let go-Miami the bass and the sun set low.
Yeah yeah... I don't know the lyrics...
I still love listening to "Here comes the Men in Black" from Will... one if his long lost best tracks
6:08 perhaps the best and smartest quote I've heard from one of the most influential actors
"theres always a darkness before the dawn." how he preached this 4 years ago is .. woah I love him
2:28 he said you people then stuttered hard and fast! 😂
Will Smith: My wife said HELL NO to running for president...lol
Where there's a *Will*, there's a way. #Smith2020
Will Smith makes a good point. The tension regarding race today in America is real, there are issues to be resolved AND there are real life prejudices people feel and have. But if you never talk about it, never show it in real life (not in movies, not in books, factual news stories case in point exhibit A examples only) then we can never fix it. It's good people are talking about it, and having discussions, and feeling strong emotions because it's a HUGE issue. Here is what I hope: I know a lot of people in this country live in communities where most people are like you. You could live in a mostly Arab community or mostly black community or mostly Korean community or mostly small town white community doesn't matter. I just want people to understand....The reason why this conversation about race relations doesn't stop is because WHILE IT MAY not directly affect you and yours, it does affect tens of millions of your fellow Americans. You don't have to go to protests or try to fight someone else's cause, but please don't dismiss it and say you're sick and tired of people pulling the "race" card. Follow the Golden Rule. Treat others and THINK about others in the same way you would like to be treated. Maybe your neck of the woods doesn't have the issues some other Americans in a different town states away has. But if they are legitimate problems and if other American's rights are being infringed upon you should care. Because if that was you and your loved ones in the same boat (and one day it very well could be) I promise you, you would want other Americans to care about your struggle. You don't have to be lovey dovey hippy dippy love everyone for no reason, but if you care about America, which all Americans should, then you should care about groups of Americans who are struggling. Don't have to send money, Don't have to do a damn thing except CARE. The alternative is saying "fuck those people they aren't my people and hell for all I know they deserve it" That's no way to build a great country and if you truly believe in the American ideal of "Freedom for all" that's way off the mark. Just. Care. Please.
You're free and clear to tell me to go to hell, freedom of speech makes this nation great. But don't forget the words stamped on our quarters, the motto of the USA: "E Pluribus Unum" Latin for "Out of many, One" Out of so many different people who never ALL agree from a whole range of backgrounds and stories out of so MANY we have to make ONE nation. We get there together, or we don't get there at all.
The Will Smith drinking game: take a shot when you hear "you know"
We hold these truths to be self-evident, Smith told Colbert he could've been the first black president, in the greatest city in the world, in the greatest city in the wor-or-or-or-or-or-orlllllld...
I laughed wayyy to hard
Work work~
Angelicaaaaaaaaa!
Eliiiiiiiiza!
And PEGGY!!!
Who else is watching this after trump was elected?
Dark days ahead...
Aggad hello from the other siiiiiiiiide 😂😂😂😂😂
We are still here in the future
@@calvinjohnson2881 and things are undoubtedly getting worse
so far Will and Viola's interviews on this show are the only ones I've seen that focused on the suicide squad actor's other ideas or projects rather than this movie, haha
He's a better than the 2 choices we currently have. (Trump, Clinton)
what about me? I'm running for president
#Magikarp2016
#GiantMeteor2016 Just end it already
+pixelmon gaming if a 5 year old kid is more educated than trump then I'm pretty sure you'll be a better president than him, just don't be racist lol.
3 choices Gary Johnson
i just can't stop replaying the intro music for the entrance. funky!
mischievous mcqueen Me too! Finally saw a comment from someone who knew the song.
"You Saw My Blinker" DJ Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith

Man , when ever i see him i always get the feeling i am watching Fresh Prince again.
Its that feeling that tells you that this man never ages.
Love and a lot of respect for ihm, because he have hold himself in Hollywood for a long time.
Did anyone get Will's reference to Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliers" when he said he's done his 10000 hours of marriage counseling? Smart man!
I appreciate Will Smith's optimism on race relations but he seems oblivious to one thing. That is, there is a substantial part of America that is still comfortable in its bubble. And in that bubble, racism is only a figment in the black men's imagination. They look at their situation and they think that it more or less mirrors everyone else's. Until we can get some people to understand that in America people live in different realities, we will never have the sort of honest conversation that could help move race relations forward.
Very well said
Exactly, and as I get older I realize everyone views the world different so it makes it hard to have certain conversations
I thought the same thing as Will was commenting. However, I also understand the position he is under in terms of being a successful actor. He wants racists to show up and watch his movie, too. LoL. But, the best part about what he said when asked the question, was the cringing facial expression he made right before answering. That facial expression, to me, said, "Man, you know I can't answer too honestly. I don't want to mess up how much money this film makes." LoL. But that expression also said, that he had a heck of a lot more to say. And that made me appreciate it that much more.
It doesn't matter. Progress is happening with or without them, and the holdouts are dying out in increasing numbers.
As long as you think you're a victim you'll continue to be one. We look at successful black people and see proof that obstacles can be overcome. Maybe more black people should start paying attention to what's possible instead of whining about what they think is not.
"Hold on!" *drops pen* "Go ahead". What Stephen did there, just killed me. lmfao
Will Smith and The Rock: The most awesome actors in Hollywood.
Except the Rock is Republican.
who care's

+TykoPC you apparently
Not to be confused with the best actors in Hollywood...Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson
Will need to come back to the hood for his haircuts. Line all jacked up
Lmfao
It's his hairline, if they were to line it up it would look way too far back
He's going to CostCutters and shit.
Just came from the Charisma on Command analysis of Will Smith. Damn does he know how to engage a crowd.
Will!!! This is just pure joy to watch, you really are such a gem to this world. Thankyou to you and your family❤️
I love him. I am binge watching all of his video's and interviews. He is always so humble and sweet. And just a ball of energy,and a breath of fresh air.
Will Smith’s acting was by far the best thing in suicide squad
Tbh I think it was the only good thing in Suicide Squad
I like when people can laugh at themselves.
Lol! Love the intro was to "you saw my blinker (bitch)" 🤣🤣 my favorite DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince LP lol
All of us wishing we were that lady at 0:48. We love you Will!!!!!!!!!
Yesss, longer clips! 👍
Eight years ago Obama was the same age as Will Smith is now, so I guess that makes sense.
What a genuine guy. Love hearing him talk.
that Beat!!😱 Crazy 👏
will smith seems like such a nice guy
Can't wait for Pluto Nash in 3D!
The band was playimg "you saw my blinker" when he came on...makes me laugh every time he says he never cussed in any of his records...yeah ok will lmao
People like Will Smith, gives me hope. Things will get better.
America and their audience clapping all the way through.
BUT IT'S WILL SMITH
They may be told to with a big "applause" sign. Studio audiences often don't get to choose.
You haven't watched enough live TV then.... When a guest is bad or jokes are bad there isn't an applause sign big enough to make people laugh or take them out of that cringey moment enough to fake applause.
He's places some interesting points on the table.
Not really. He was just playing safe against his white audience. If he was to say what he really wants to say, he would be accused of being uppity and white people would call for a Hollywood ban on him for standing up for his people. Jada's career is already dead because she stood up for her people.
+ Chocolate Giddy-Up - Google "Will Smith Hitler" to find out how the media tried to label Will as a Nazi. Will knows what its like to falsely accused of racism. None of us are safe from the Media's Salem witch trial reboot.
+Chocolate Giddy-Up she didn't stand up for her people, she stood up for Will without talking to him first. her career died because she had work done on her face and became a failed TV actress. Will isn't playing it safe just because he didn't say what you think he should say.
popeye697 Oh, because you are white and you say so? Sorry (I not) that a Black people standing for something offends you
+Chocolate Giddy-Up the issue is that you are implying that Smith is victim or an Uncle Tom. When labelled in the past, Smith trumped the media by clarify his statement and stating that its was ridiculous that he need to have pres conference. You can be separatist but if you try to get the media to label Smith you will not break him.
"The revolution may not be televised...but it will be tweeted" - best quote ever
@Caity, you know it!!
His Enterance Music Takes me back to My childhood growing up listening to DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince.
Yeah I don't think you got a chance anymore Chris
Good thought on the racist thing Will, I think we are about to come together. We have to stop defining ourselves as black, white, yellow, etc.. We are people. We think way too much in terms of gender as well.
+Schlong Goblin He's an idiot because like a lot of people we are tired of people saying #blacklivesmatter and #bluelivesmatter ? Maybe instead of focusing on an individual's sexuality/gender or skin color he wants to focus on subjects that are actually important?
We don't have to stop defining ourselves as our color, we just have to understand that it doesn't mean anything. Like tall or short, redhead or brunette, blue eyed or brown eyed, it's just something we are. It's not about making the color go away, it's about knowing there's a person just like you underneath the skin.
You shouldn't have to abandon a significant portion of your identity to come together.
Differences is what make us unique
All orchestrated by the media to conquer and divide us all, to rile up the weak minded and have us fighting among ourselves and distract us all.
What's that beat that he walked out to? It's beast!!!
I’ve watched this interview so many times since it aired and we’re in 2022. Why? Will’s entrance, how he grooves with Jon’s band and just emanates big movie star energy. Just wow! His walk out music also deserves a full track, called Big Will Energy. Could listen to it all day. Stay Human is legit!🎶🎺🥁
"Racism is not getting worse, its getting filmed"
What does he mean by that? Anyone explain?
its always been there, now it is getting the attention of the masses.
Better than me...
Haven't gotten to this part of the video, but it seems like that means that racism has always been here, we are just seeing it more because it's being filmed more and documented more. Black lives matter and income inequality show some of the racism.
With social media it's way easier to share information. This is what he means. There's less racism, but it's more visible.
racism has always been there, the reason we think it's getting worse is people filming and exposing it for everyone else to watch, mainly due to smartphones.
You knaouw.
"The revolution may not be televised" Gil Scott Herron reference there
Dude the rendition of the song that the band is playing is so good, I just watch this interview so many times just for it lol
i cant imagine racism will ever go away. there will always be idiots no matter what
Fresh prince as president damn.
That would change America.
So much positivity and hope in what he said. Also truth. We all are finally addressing and accepting that there are certain issue. Already one step closer.
he really is a very wise person. love hearing him talk about marriage, life journeys, politics, and our nation. I'd vote for him!
Simply one of the coolest people in the world!
God bless Will and his family
My 2 favors actors are will Smith and Denzel Washington. No disrespect to others
8 minutes of video. Thank you Late Show channel That's how it's done!!!!! Thank you!
She’s like I will will 😂😂
Now he’s ruined his chance at even making another bad movie
"Oh, hell no!!!" ~ Melania Trump (on Donald as President)

I love how these interviews touch on actual subjects and not just how the actor works out.
He still looks hot
most logical interview
Will Smith in 2011, i watch your son movie was so good a remind me of my son make me cry a lot was great movie.
my wife has said on numerous occasions - hell no, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha just fell on floor laughing at his reaction
