The Groundhog Day bomb and him repeating it because he was frustrated that he didn't get the reaction he wanted was cringeworthy.

I'm not exactly sure you got the joke...

Yeah pretty much. Colbert is on CBS now and he's much more like Mr Rogers than the old Colbert. Which is probably his true personality.

If anyone thinks Colbert would have said one drat thing different on Comedy Central with the old show, they're delusional. He would have dropped the character, said his anecdote, and moved on to make fun of the circus around replacing him.

Anyone expecting any of these people to go on national TV 2 days after the death of high profile public figure and poo poo on them (no matter how deserving) is flat out mental.

Sam is great in Full Frontal, but every other aspect of the production seems like a 90s public access show. It doesn't have the polish of something like The Daily Show or Last Week Tonight.

It's just an extension of a greater issue.

There are fewer and fewer reasons why our reps in general need to generally BE in Washington so much with the technology we have today.

Force them to live local as much as possible so they can see what effect their policies are having and it also requires that lobbies have to work far harder since people will be geographically distributed.

Getting rid the the insular culture is the first step in getting rid of the career politician.

Semantics. A career politician is one who's primary goal is to be re-elected regardless on if it's the best for their constituents. I want to see a culture where a politician does not seek rejection, not because they are doing a bad job, but because they think someone can do that job better.

Yeah, Michelle Wolfe didn't turn it around in this segment either.

She just lacks the bite behind her words that Sam Bee has. It still feels too much like reading a script.

With Colbert being there with Jon Stewart and the Daily Show being there, there needs to be a massive team up prank.

Is Sam Bee going to be there too? They really all should collaborate on this. There's going to be way too much comedy for one show to mine.

So, uh, Colbert went to visit John Stewart and brought back Colbert.

By, that, I mean, the Colbert Report. There was even a Word tonight.

Too bad it was only for one segment, felt like old times.

So, I can't say whether or not Colbert being escorted off the podium at the RNC was staged, but holy poo poo tonight absolutely was not. They were trying hard to keep him off that podium, but he won!

He even tried to get Nancy Pelosi to vouch for him, bu still they said no.

How you can't say whether last week's bit was staged or not, I can't tell.

Not quite grasping what you are saying here. Many people said him being escorted off the podium was staged at the RNC, that it wasn't actual security. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not. I don't know.

It's just that the antics last night were too genuine to be staged. It was hilarious.

I like NSFW, it's endearing. The bit w her and Kristen Schaal telling the pornstars what to say is amazing.

Also, saw this coming when J Willy left to develop a show for CC. I would guess she's going to take that slot.

Her show is going to be more of a sitcom. It will be a primetime show, not late night.

I guess the timing of this was contacts, they were up for renewal in a few weeks.

The whole thing was very short and abrupt with no real visible editing cuts and no 'go to web for full interview.'

I really thing Trevor was deeply offended by his 'I did as much as I could, I voted to free Mandela' schtick.

I had to think what was going through Trevor's head was "Did you protest? Did you get assaulted by the police? We're you outspoken to your insulated world to try to change opinions? No? You didn't do poo poo, get the gently caress out of here."

I would have to imagine that "I voted to free Mandela" is the South African equivalent to "I have black friends."

Took Jon a lot longer for the rage, but maybe it would have developed sooner if he had to deal with Trump in his first year.

Colbert really had the Jon rage the other night. It was excellent.

Yup. It's not often that a network late night host gets to say that the reason why the presidential candidate didn't suck his balls 4 years ago was that he had a mouthful of Putin's balls.

Colbert gives no fucks right now.

drat, dude. Can I get a date on this? I wanna' see it!

It was Monday, first sitting segment.

quote:

Harkening back to his Colbert Super PAC days, the host recalled the time he offered to donate $1 million to the charity of Trump’s choice if he would let him dip his balls in his mouth. “Now, for some reason, Donald, you did not take the deal,” he said. “I'm going to guess it’s because your mouth was already full of Vladimir Putin's balls.” "

...

Finally, replaying Trump’s comments that Obama was “born in the United States, period,” Colbert shot back, “No! Not period. Question mark. gently caress you, exclamation point!”

...

As for the $5 million dollar donation Trump once promised Obama if he could definitively prove his citizenship, the host added, “He’s probably waiting on that check right now, you know, like most of your contractors.”
“So, Mr. Trump, now's your chance to put your money where your mouth is,” Colbert said, “or, barring that, there's always my balls.”

I know people are wanting for Stewbeef's rage, but I'm finding that Trevor's measured and constant deconstruction of Trump a nice contrast for this election. It doesn't make sense to yell about Trump, because he always yells louder. Trevor really knocked it out of the park tonight.

So, I know this isn't the thread for this show anymore, but I do feel Colbert is back. His interview with Obama tonight as "Randy" the office manager was amazing, he did the classic "draw a diagram on a board and ended up drawing penis", and he's going to have a motherfucking LIVE election night special on Showtime.

Nothing will change as far as that goes. When Trump doesn't deliver on promises, he'll point to the Republican Congress as not playing ball with his outside the box thinking. Round two will be the same base mobilization, only this time they elect mini-trumps to Congress.

We are right proper hosed because people aren't capable of recognizing when they've made a mistake. Outside influences caused their decision to fail, it wasn't the fault of the decision.

Echo Chamber posted:

I'm not too hot with Trevor suddenly lecturing to us that we have to listen to Trump voters when the show itself was quite dismissive of them for the entire campaign.

The point of the segment was that they were an unknown quantity. All the data anyone had pointed that Trump supporters being the fringe whackjobs that are currently emboldened to commit hate crimes. It never even crossed anyone's mind that people who would vote for Obama would flip to Trump.

So, the message is still consistent if split. We were right to not listen to the demands of people to shut the borders or put in place destructive trade deals out of xenophobia. However it was a major misstep to not give a national voice to those who haven't been presented a plan for the future.

I was a little annoyed that Pittsburgh was mentioned seeing as how Allegheny county soundly rejected Trump for the real reason that we HAVE successfully transitioned to a post rust belt economy.

Luzerne County was a huge loss. It's also puzzling since the economy there was in recovery and it's usually a big democratic stronghold.

She's still doing stand-up delivery. The joke cadence and body posture scream stand-up comedian instead of (fake) news correspondent.

She's getting to the point where she loosens up by the end of her segments now and it's feels more conversational, but she starts them where she is comfortable and that's as stand-up.

That's why the segments feel weird.

She makes me feel fundamentally out of touch with huge swaths of people because I cannot understand how you can continue to function in society after filling up with so much baseless rage on a daily basis.

I get upset about actions that affect other people directly. She gets upset over ideas. I don't understand how you exist in your own skull doing that.
