Comedy: Aziz Ansari Diversifies ‘The Late Show’ (Video)
May 5, 2017
Mixing that Brown with that White… Not a good idea when drinking… but a GREAT idea when it comes to comedy and late night TV. Let the hilarity ensue as Aziz Ansari integrates Colbert’s show. Haaaahahaaa!
When Aziz is sitting next to Stephen, 100% of the people on “The Late Show” are from South Carolina, and 50% are not White. That’s progress!

Neil deGrasse Tyson Talks About The ‘Pale Blue Dot’ And Our Place In The Universe (Video)
May 4, 2017
I remember a show on TV growing up called “Big Blue Marble” that hinted at the smallness of planet Earth compared to the vastness of space; but it still referred to it as the ‘biggest marble’ in the game. But…BUT… watch modern science guy Neil deGrasse Tyson show us just how small our home is as a place in the universe… but still let us know that we are STILL special.

Farewell To Bill O’Reilly: From Stephen Colbert And ‘Stephen Colbert’ (Video)
April 25, 2017
Wow, there is NO chill when it comes to celebrating reporting on the departure of Bill O’Reilly from Fox News, is there? Just one more clip on that. It’s a good one though. Haaa!
A brash, loud-mouthed, far-right know-it-all has some parting words for a brash, loud-mouthed, far-right know-it-all.
Stephen Colbert is HILARIOUS, and so is ‘Stephen Colbert.’
(That Patriots’ White House shot he fit in there, too. Bwaaahahaaa!)

Stephen Colbert With A ‘420 Monologue’ To (Not) Remember [Video]
April 24, 2017
Wonder if Stephen ever ‘inhaled’ though. But he and intern Stoney Von Dankington have this same convo every year on this date. Yes. THAT is the real meaning behind 4/20 – a commemoration of their hilarious conversation.
(That… and puff-puff-PASS maaaaan. Hahaaaa!)

Joey Bada$$ – “Land Of The Free” (Live Performance) [Video]
April 12, 2017
One of the things that could have been a casualty of Stephen Colbert’s move from Comedy Central to big network TV would have been the kinds of artists he booked. Fortunately, we are still getting to see the likes of Joey Bada$$ do their thing on The Late Show on CBS. Dope!
Rapper Joey Bada$$ makes his Late Show debut with a track from his upcoming album ‘All-Amerikkkan Bada$$.’
Louie CK’s Got Shots For Trump, Obama, Non-Voters… And Jokes & Chat For Stephen Colbert (Vote)
April 6, 2017
One dude… Just ONE dude in the Colbert audience admitted to being a Trump supporter. WHERE are all these voters for President Trump (rhetorical, please don’t feel compelled to respond). Hilarious, but somehow still thoughtful & thought-provoking, host Stephen Colbert has Louie CK on the show – talking Trump and more.
Louis CK regrets comparing Donald Trump to Hitler. But he’s not going to take it back.
Interestingly enough, CK (who is clearly NOT a President Trump supporter) expressed sympathy for the sole supporter of The Donald; sorry that dude and those of his ilk fell prey to a ‘Dirty Rotten Lying Sack Of Sh!t’ (Louie’s words).

Look! ‘The President’ Is Reading His Next Batch Of Executive Orders (Video)
February 17, 2017
Hahaa! Jon Stewart is a FOOL and a half!
Well, no doubt, you’ve heard that President Trump has gotten more accomplished than any other President in history… from Trump… And he did it via executive orders. How appropriate that Colbert had ‘The Donald’ (well, an unreasonable facsimile) to let The Late Show audience in on a batch of ‘special’ executive orders.
Friend of the show Jon Stewart stops by to give Stephen a sneak peek at some executive orders he borrowed off the President’s desk.
DJ Khaled Speaks On Staying Focused, How ‘They Block’ And More On ‘The Late Show’ With Stephen Colbert (Video)
December 12, 2016
Definitely gotta bless up. Grammy-nom, NY Times Best Seller, father, producer, restaurateur, motivator, Snapchat phenom… and now formulator of a special ‘cocoa butter’… They Block! You must watch this to understand man. There is just no way to hate on DJ Khaled. Why even try? Check out his sit-down with Stephen Colbert above. Nice!
The music mogul, fresh off his latest GRAMMY nomination, takes Stephen through the success tips in his bestselling book ‘The Keys.’

Comedy: Stephen Colbert Says, “Don’t Move To Canada Just Yet!” (Video)
November 14, 2016
File this under laugh-to-keep-from-crying. But it is actually funny. Classic Colbert. It’s actually a monologue of hope… as America is on the verge of being made ‘great again.’ Like it or not, Donald J. Trump is the President Elect. But hey, this is what many American voters wanted. And the rest of us… we will endure. Together. We must! So don’t go running for border, eh. Stay.
Sure, they’ve got free healthcare up there. But being an American citizen is like family: you’re in it whether you like it or not.
Watch and take heart, Colbert Nation. We will be okay.

First Lady Michelle Obama Talks About Her Bestie Beyonce, Her Husband Barack And More (Video)
September 29, 2016
Hahahaaa! She called her husband ‘swagalicious’… priceless! Watching Michelle Obama talk about it with Stephen Colbert, you really get the feeling that the evening mealtime is more ‘dinner with the Obamas‘ than ‘dinner at The White House.’
Turns out everyone in President Obama’s family does an impression of him, usually at the dinner table. But the leader of the free world would rather gossip.
Nice. Lively interview with the lovely First Lady. Going to miss the Obamas when they move out of 1600. But bet your last dollar they will not just ‘go away.’ Way too much charisma and gumption for that. I’m almost as excited about the post-Presidency as I was when President Obama was voted and sworn in…both times #Swag

DeRay Mckesson Tell Stephen Colbert Why We Protest (Video)
July 27, 2016
If you ever get frustrated by folks saying, “Protests are a waste of time,” or, “What good is marching gonna do?” this DeRay Mckesson interview is for you. Actually, it’s for the ones who frustrate you; who likely have no better ideas. Wait… actually, it is for EVERYONE who needs to know (or be reminded) why we gotta do this.
Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson returns to The Late Show to share details from his meeting with President Obama, and explain why it’s crucial to take his message to the streets.

Comedy/Politics: Stephen Colbert Officially Opens The ‘Hungry For Power Games’ At The RNC (Video)
July 19, 2016
[Stephen Colbert] Julius and his pet weasel Caligula report from the 2016 Republican National Hungry For Power Games at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, where Tribute Trump is set to accept the party’s nomination.
Haaaa! The polished segment turned out even better than anticipated. Watch The Late Show segment that Stephen Colbert crashed the RNC to shoot (raw footage we posted from that here). So many comic jabs landed in this bit. You gotta watch!
Watch Stephen Colbert Crash The RNC Stage (Video)
July 19, 2016
Getting a bit of footage for a skit for The Late Show, Stephen Colbert sneaked up onto the podium and ‘gaveled’ the Republican National Convention (RNC) to order this past Sunday ‘Hunger Games’ style. However, the words he uttered as he struggled with the security staffer firmly escorting him away from the mic should prove to be most poignant and memorable:
“Look, look… I know I’m not supposed to be up here. But let’s be honest, neither is Donald Trump.”
Solid. Satirical. Political. GOLD!!

Bill Maher Says That Police Culture Has To Change (Video)
July 18, 2016
Above: Bill Maher tells Stephen Colbert that we need policing as a society. He values the police and denounces shooting of police, like most, BUT he understands why police got shot at this point.
You can only look at so many videos of shooting unarmed Black people. I’m surprised it didn’t happen before.
Wow. Then Colbert follows up with a quote from the late President John F. Kennedy: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.” Then Maher goes in further: Police culture – attracting the wrong types of people, protecting wrongdoers within their ranks, not administering true justice when wrongdoers are caught, even the training – HAS to change!
Yeah. By this point in the evening, the funny part of the show was over, as Maher declared.
(Well, actually, they got in some more joke pokes… some at each other… but, trust, the serious power of what was said was not diminished.)
Incredible conversation The Late Show. Colbert keeps bringing thoughtful TV to CBS; while allowing what needs to be said to be said. Watch.

Neo-soul artist Maxwell, back after a loooong break, is doing the damn thang; especially here performing live on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Performs the lead single from his forthcoming album “blackSUMMERS’night” (due out July 1, 2016) entitled “Lake By The Ocean.”

Eddie Huang aka The Human Panda Talks About Identity And Chews The Pork Fat With Stephen Colbert (Video)
May 4, 2016
Good stuff. We knew Eddie when he was “Fresh Off The Boat” with VICE. Now, he’s with ABC… still “Fresh…” But he has not forgotten where he came from – Taiwan or online – and he is going back (to VICELAND with a new show, “Huang’s World”). Watch Eddie talking with Stephen Colbert above and after the jump about all kinds of stuff – like them delicious-looking pork buns.

To Be Clear: Bernie Sanders And Donald Trump Are NOT The Same…At All! (Video)
February 13, 2016
Ha! A two-fer! Bernie Sanders in the White House AND Bill O’Reilly moving to Ireland. Let’s do it people. O’Reilly was talking to Stephen Colbert the other night, saying that Sanders and Donald Trump were the same candidate with ‘different haircuts.’ WHAT? Okay, commentary like that alone might get more folks voting for Sanders (bye Bill). Watch Sanders’ sit-down with Colbert…making more sense than Trump has for most of his life.
Fresh off of his win in the New Hampshire primary, Bernie Sanders stops by The Late Show to talk about why his campaign is different.

Killer Mike With Advice To White Americans And More On ‘The Late Show’ With Stephen Colbert (Video)
January 8, 2016
Let’s borrow Larry Wilmore’s catch phrase and apply it to the guest former Comedy Central cohort Stephen Colbert had on just recently: The man Killer Mike kept it 100 (and then some) on the The Late Show, didn’t he? Hitting a variety of hot topics with Colbert: Ferguson, Baltimore, race relations in general, stumping for his Presidential candidate of choice Bernie Sanders and so much more.

Spike Lee Speaks On The Basis Of His New Film ‘Chi-Raq’ & Elaborates on Chicago, Sex Strikes (Video)
November 30, 2015
Interesting. Spike Lee and Stephen Colbert discuss the dire straits of Chicago’s war-like violence and casualty rates, the foundations/inspirations for “Chi-Raq” (a spin off the Ancient Greek satire “Lysistrata,” in which Athenian women vow to withhold sex until their men end the The Peloponnesian War), and the possibility of sex strikes on campus in the coming semester after his movie drops.
“I think that a sex strike could really work on college campuses where there’s an abundance of sexual harassment and date rapes. Second semester it’s going to happen. Once people come back from Christmas, there’s going to be sex strikes at universities and college campuses across this country. I believe it.â€
– Spike Lee
Gun control. Police brutality. So much in a short clip to watch. And you must!

Comedy: Stephen Colbert Speaks Out On Police Brutality (Video)
November 28, 2015
Black Lives Matter. You know it. We know it. Stephen Colbert knows it. And the problem is not ALL cops. Stephen knows that, too. But there is a ‘but’…
“These days there are a lot of people out there talking about the use of excessive force by the police, and without courting any controversy I want to say that police have a very hard job putting their lives on the line. And the vast majority are good people. On the other hand, Black people aren’t imagining this stuff.â€
– Stephen Colbert
Great to see that Stephen did not lose his Comedy Central-born boldness to go tongue-in-cheek (or maybe sharp-tongued criticism with witticism) on important social matters of the day now that he is on big network TV. Bringing levity while shedding more light on police brutality. And still stay hella funny. Kudos to Colbert!
