Great to see him back on tv. Band seems like its trying to be too hip. Overall positive - but didn't really like the cursed stone bit at the beginning.
ETA: I liked the JEB! interview. And Derek Trucks & Buddy Guy (among lots of others) playing "Everyday People" was good.

I thought the cursed relic bit was good, but I lost my s### with the Trump bit. Bippity boppity bippity...you know!

Big fan of his, but thought the first show felt a little flat (especially considering that he had months to prepare).
Happy to see him get the big check, but sad to see him locked into the "monologue-bit-guest-guest-music-goodbye" format.
Trump bit was good, but Trump humor is pretty low hanging fruit.
Just seemed a little tame, and I like my Colbert edgy.
I'll keep watching though. He's a smart dude and I'm betting he figures this thing out.

I wish I could have stayed up for the musical finale - as love those artists.
However, I too thought his first show fell flat. Felt contrived/forced. Based on what I saw, I think he's going to struggle with this gig. Fallon and Kimmel are just effortless. Stiff competition.

And the fans he already has are going to be let down because it's not same Colbert they grew to love.

I just don't think the guy is super funny. He had maybe the worst commercials of all time about 10 years ago. Last night it seemed like he was screaming at his guests, not even listening, just trying to find a spot to get his joke in there. I don't think his improv sensibilities lend itself to this format. You have to be zany in spots, not the entire hour. He's obviously not going to be Letterman on night one though.
I like Colbert, but I didn't really get anything out of his first show, assuming it's aired already. Or even if it hasn't aired, either way, it really didn't do anything for me, so I probably won't watch it.

Damn, forgot this was on last night, completely missed it. I think it was awesome though, especially the Trump bit.

Lmao I keep watching this Trump segment. If you want the highlight of it just skip to 4:40. I p### my pants every time.

5 1/2 minutes out of a +/- 40 minute air time show spent on a single skit lampooning the Republican frontrunner, including some choice KKK imagery. Jokes about Hillary and her ongoing scandals? Nowhere to be found.
As predicted, the left wing hackery from Colbert continues regardless of venue. A leopard can't change its spots.

His mannerisms are half Letterman, half Conan.

He's kind of like that IRL though.
Fallon is waaaaay better than I thought he was gonna be, but Colbert can capture the backend of that key 25-49 demographic with what I've seen so far.

Reminded me a lot of Conan with the goofball physical comedy we never saw that much of on CR. That's alright.. Conan sadly hasn't been funny since he got the shaft from NBC.

Agreed. Always said I really felt a lot of arrogance kick in when he was awarded the Tonight Show. Never seemed the same.

I'm sure conservatives are fine with Tump jokes, but if there aren't any jokes about liberals, I can see how it would get a little tiring. I can't stay up that late, so somebody would have to tell me if he does indeed do both sides. If not, and I know it's a small sample, the criticism is warranted.This is what the right wing has come to, getting all pissy about Trump jokes?

they have biden and pelosi... could you imagine the deep trove of comedy gold if those two were republicans?

Colbert and Stewart joked about both of them all the time. Colbert had a public feud with Pelosi, when she ordered all her House dems not to talk to him.
Trump is a ### #### clown though, please.

You guys really need to lighten up. It's a late night TV show, not the Emergency Room. Good grief.

The guy had Jeb! on as a guest on his first show! Did you see the ratings on that? Cry cry cry because he made fun of the one stupid orange clown who's pretending to run for Pres.
