A very funny & pithy Colbert/Late Show Thursday Night.
Here is the whole show, but it's the first few minutes that are the news focus. Ka-boom, Elon Musk.
And then... A funny and quite lnteresting monologue, and then... Paul Simon. Philosophizing and performing a psalm.Great Show.
Meanwhile....
History will not remember former GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump has Nikki Haley on the brain, and NFL star Travis Kelce scored major boyfriend points while celebrating a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. #Colbert #Comedy #Monologue #TravisKelce #TaylorSwift Air Date: Jan 22, 2024 [11min]
Great to have Stephen Colbert back in fine form, in time for all the fun & fantasy unfolding in our midst. /s.
Lots of need for a laugh! Opening Monologue, Tuesday 8/Jan
"Nikki Haley left out some important details when describing the cause of the Civil War, Donald Trump is playing to the faithful..."

So here's what #Colbert did after hearing that #TrumpVirus variant #TuckerCarlson is starting his own network.....
He (Colbert) registered the site,
Good times ahead, methinks, for 'fair and balanced' lunacy. Tucker/Stable Genius style... with tanning optional.
“I’m sure Mr. Johnson is very smart and capable and knows exactly what he’s doing,” Maddow sarcastically commented. “But he got this job because the previous guy [California Rep. Kevin McCarthy] was driven out with pitchforks and torches for having had the temerity to speak to political opponents rather than wishing them dead, and now he [Johnson] needs his political opponents in order to keep his job.”
“We all know how this ends,” Maddow added, signaling Johnson’s time in the leadership position could now be under serious threat.
The GOP is “not a party that is trying to govern” and is in thrall to former President Donald Trump and his anti-democratic tendencies, said Maddow.
Democrats “are still treating this like it is a governing project” when “the two parties are doing two very different things,” she added.
“Now we are going to keep the government open. It is because the Democrats came to the rescue and said that we should,” Maddow explained. “But this is the Republican Party still not even wanting to keep the government going because they don’t believe that governance is what we need in this country; they believe we want a strongman form of government under a guy who just says what he wants, and it happens.”
She summarized, “The stakes are really high right now, and it’s just depressing to see what’s happening in Congress.”
Colbert asked, “How do we get out of this mess?”
Maddow said, “The big picture answer is if you are trying to defend democracy, you only have one arrow in your quiver, you only have one weapon and that is democracy. You cannot fight an anti-democratic movement with anti-democratic means.”
She continued, “You have to treat your fellow Americans like human beings. You have to fight against scapegoating and toxic conspiracy theories that are trying to make you think that your fellow Americans are not worthy of participating in a democracy with you. You need to beat people at the polling place, and you need to make sure the public knows the truth about this stuff” and “not be scared of people who are trying to use violence to intimidate us out of this process.”
Maddow concluded, “It’s small ‘d’ democratic commitment, and we need it more than we’ve ever needed it this year.”

Stephen Colbert to Host The Late Show Remotely After Positive COVID Test
I went to watch Colbert last night and realized he’s doing a podcast from home. Covid is not dead!! Get your booster, please.

Uff.... October 2023... "COVID Who??"
Context - 15 weeks of a Writers' strike has ended, a good and fair agreement (AI, etc.) and everybody is happy to be back writing and performing topical #comedy / #truth on late-night television shows, #StephenColbert here is one of our finest talents. And he is 'woke'!
So.... has anything happened in the U.S. and worlld since the spring? (autumn if you're in Oz)....
#Colbert #LateShow #LateNite #Comedy #CurrentEvents #WritersStrike #TrumpVirus #GQP #indictments #treason
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is back, and our host has a special two-part monologue to catch everyone up on the stories we missed over the summer, including those Canadian wildfires, cocaine found in the White House, the government admitting aliens are real, the former president’s many indictments, and more. Stick around for Part 2 of Stephen’s monologue after this! #Colbert #Comedy #Monologue
Must/see - Priceless!
The return of Late Show with Stephen Colbert, after 5 months dark (due to writers' strike). Anything happen in the past 5 months in America and the world? In 2 parts. Beginning with this precious cold-open return home.**

Grrrreat News! After 5 months in suspended animation, he's ba-ack! They're back.
Colbert, Seth Meyers, & Kimmel are back on-air, kicking off a new, MUCH-needed, fall season of "context & perspective" with both some smiles & laughs, and affirmation that as crazy and absurd as it all seems to us watching, it is!
So so thankful. It is impossible to overstate what an important service these satirists/comedians/truthiness presenters provide!

The Late Show with Stephen #Colbert - Mar 31, 2018
If nothing else, see this! I'm done now, can't improve on this...
Tues night monologue by #Colbert / #LateShow regarding the cherry-picked, fake, possibly seditious and clearly anti-democratic attempted re-framing of reality by #GQP / #Fox #cult #disinformation - in chief #propagandist #TuckerCarlson
Crystal-clear, fact-based reality, scary as it is, and/or should be!
Beyond #truthiness into the realm of the actual reality. It doesn't get more concise and accurate than this, IMHO.
Last night, asynchronously live from the Ed Sullivan Theater in NYC.....
