I don't think you know what the Colbert Report is/was. It was Colbert's previous show, in which he played a conservetive charachter, also named Stephen Colbert. He did the White House Correspodents dinner once, worth watching, by the way.
Helen Eschenbacher In television, the “watershed” is the time of night after which curse words and nudity can be shown by broadcast networks (all cable networks are free to broadcast curse words and nudity all day): I seem to recall that the watershed is 10PM in the US.
The show is on at an hour when children should likely be asleep. If anyone were to complain about them seeing or hearing anything bad, no one's fault that people suck as parents.
Stephen needs to be like this, all the time. I'd rather see stuff about frog sex than more Trump. Less hard news and more "hard news" please, and more angry Stephen, please.
I am sorry... what? The censors censor and uncensor the very same object depending on what it is called... Might be a good way to for the porn industry to get into the prime time calling their videos "DIY massage and wellness"
Were you even watching the video? Its in India buddy. And a random INDIAN wildlife enthusiast stumbled upon it and photographed it, which was then featured in a magazine article. I sincerely doubt US tax money, or ANY tax money was ever involved.
playerkingawesome The censorship you see is not too much of an issue. The censorship you don't see however is much more of a problem. His Late Show act is only a pale imitation of his genius on the Colbert Report.
I do miss the increased focus on the news and criticizing what needed to be criticized. I don't give a good goddamn about his 'celebrity guests'. I skipped 90% of the guest segments on the Report and Daily Show anyways. What came first was always gold.
At least he seems to genuinely care about the guests when he is talking to, or at least most of them. There's nothing wrong with talking with celebrities, just as long as they don't gush all over them, which he doesn't.
I don't understand why he insists on provoking his network and the censors like this, especially considering every-time you hear someone commenting on the success of the show, it's always pointing out it's NOT doing well. You don't like CBS's standards? Then why the fuck did you ever take the job in the first place. It's not a comedic burden to not be able to show genitals or sex-acts or certain curse words
It is pretty absurd what they censor, actually. And I am glad Colbert is pointing out the absurdity. We show violent murders in our TV shows, but we can't have a line drawing of some frogs having sex? The.hell.is.wrong.with.the.US.
You stopped doing news or even infotainment. Instead of satire we get comedy and instead of interesting or tough interviews we get ego stroking. You are an hour on television: DO SOMETHING WITH IT!!!!!
I love when he makes fun of his own channel. "Animals don't fuck on CBS"
Man, did the 80's fuck us over this bad?
oh yes, it's a LOT of fun watching US twisted morality from over the pond.
Reagan was President during the 80s, so yes. The 80s fucked us over badly.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times....
Colbert, you are a fucking genius.
This was SO good. Anyone else feels it was a real 'Colbert Report' kind of segment?
I don't think you know what the Colbert Report is/was. It was Colbert's previous show, in which he played a conservetive charachter, also named Stephen Colbert. He did the White House Correspodents dinner once, worth watching, by the way.
''Animals don't fuck on CBS '' ... Such an enlightened outlook.
I think they censored it just to troll with him.
This guy is a genius and I love how he doesn't tolerate dumb things and mess around with censors
My favorite thing of late shows is when they mess around with the censors
The fact that this is still a thing is beyond fucking sad.
How many Americans realize that we have a (broadcasting) watershed in this country?
@Rob
I don’t think you understand the term “watershed moment?”
Helen Eschenbacher In television, the “watershed” is the time of night after which curse words and nudity can be shown by broadcast networks (all cable networks are free to broadcast curse words and nudity all day): I seem to recall that the watershed is 10PM in the US.
Ferguson is the best when it comes to messing around with the censor
TH-cam Selection Process
"Am I about to click on this?"
"I clicked on it. *Fuck*"
Worth
*What's the point of going home if you can't look at frog genitals?"
I often ask myself that same question
Wow, Colbert almost went into George Carlin territory.
One day, one can only dream.
tailed frogs have external junk.. and boy is it haaaawt
The fuk
"Animals don't fuck on CBS."
I love it when Stephen politely mocks CBS. Dude has no chill.
This is the genuine Colbert, the one that everybody loved from his report .....
"Animals don't fuck on CBS"
-Stephen Colbert 2016
How did he know that it wasn't censored right then when in the previous show he had "to go home and find out"? Something is afoot! #tinfoilhat
Maybe because the audience cheered?
It's a joke.
He can see whats on screen with the little screen in the desk.
Firstname Lastname No, it's a real conspiracy, dude. #Trump2016 #WhatAreTheyHiding
He'd cleared it with the censors before broadcasting this time. No magic bullet this time, sorry, mate.
As one Dave Letterman's late show top ten list said, “putting the BS in CBS".
Fucking Kermit style.
I love it when they roast their bosses.
he brought jimmy with him:)
PaleyFest brought me here.
Tandem snorkelling is more fun.
this was brilliant
Guess Mr Counsel has too much of self-restraint... 😏
this the most fun, thing I saw after puberty.
I'll have to try out this position
thank you
I fucking love pointless news!
rGood one Stephen still doing the "hard" news. Should be the "hard frog" news. Oh wait I see now they were sky diving.
Wow the dislike bar is so low. I guess he didn't mention politics at all during this one.
hahaha amazing.
'Children could be watching' Yes, Donald could be watching this show, but he talks about this kind of thing all the time.
The show is on at an hour when children should likely be asleep. If anyone were to complain about them seeing or hearing anything bad, no one's fault that people suck as parents.
That was so funny
Stephen needs to be like this, all the time. I'd rather see stuff about frog sex than more Trump. Less hard news and more "hard news" please, and more angry Stephen, please.
Isn't his show on at, like, 11pm at night? Silliness.
-_- good god censorship is a load of crap
pi time!
Ohh no you didn't stephen, now i have the image of drawing frogs having sex how do I abstract from this
legendary
Lol
#lol 2:46 :D
Troll Level #OverNineThousand
I am sorry... what? The censors censor and uncensor the very same object depending on what it is called...
Might be a good way to for the porn industry to get into the prime time calling their videos "DIY massage and wellness"
Go to discovery channel with this smut!
Funny
Skydiving is h00t
Yup...this is what our tax money funds.
Wait... how does tax money have anything to do with this? This is TV network's decisions.
Mildly Insane Tax money funds discoveries like frog sex poses.
Were you even watching the video?
Its in India buddy. And a random INDIAN wildlife enthusiast stumbled upon it and photographed it, which was then featured in a magazine article. I sincerely doubt US tax money, or ANY tax money was ever involved.
WARNING: THIS IS AN AD!!!
Play Flunicorn
WOW. 1k likes and 7 dislikes God DAMN
LMFAO... nawh really though the stupidity of this episode is lame & just bad.
😂😂😂😂
Jesus Colbert, just give up this shitty broadcast TV gig and go full streaming. Maybe you can go back to what makes you great.
Make Jesus Colbert great again!!!1!!!!
He's still great. So either you're trolling, or you're just a dumbass. Censorship doesn't make a huge difference.

It's not like this is a rare thing too. He does this like every week it seems
Its actually a pretty common late night gag. Conan met his sensor, they always make jokes about their networks.
Butt hurt.
It is pretty absurd what they censor, actually. And I am glad Colbert is pointing out the absurdity. We show violent murders in our TV shows, but we can't have a line drawing of some frogs having sex? The.hell.is.wrong.with.the.US.
yeah, craig ferguson did similar stuff b4. he would start drawing a picture until it was blurred and then change it unti it was unblurred again.
***** The specifics may be faked, but the message is real.
Any girl wanna go skydiving?
Horrifically unfunny.
