And the fans he already has are going to be let down because it's not same Colbert they grew to love.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.
Band leader is Jon Batiste. He doesn't have to try to be hip.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.
blog it up?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.

It's Trump. If this stuff isn't funny, maybe it's just sad.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.

Its where the left will get their news now.
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.His mannerisms are half Letterman, half Conan.
Agreed. Always said I really felt a lot of arrogance kick in when he was awarded the Tonight Show. Never seemed the same.Reminded me a lot of Conan with the goofball physical comedy we never saw that much of on CR. That's alright..

People who find that skit humorous also probably find America's Got Talent to be the height of entertainment. There's nothing clever about it.glock said:If you're not wetting your pants while watching that bit...TPW said: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.

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? Don't you pick on our guy!
Enjoy irrelevance
