      Would love to have him back-to-back with Jon Stewart again, in these trying times.

        I liked him on The Colbert Report. Never watched him on The Late Show.

          He did a great job of inheriting the show from Letterman.

            He was way funnier when he was a conservative before he switched parties.

                Good, not great. The openers to Meanwhile were always entertaining, however. John Batiste was a gem, stopped watching after he left (unrelated).

                    I almost never watched him until COVID hit. Colbert, as well as Trevor Noah at the time and Seth Meyers really improved their shows during and after COVID.

                    They all got much more relaxed and made the shows feel much more authentic. I think Colbert has actually swung the most back towards "professional", but he still general brings a more relaxed vibe.

                        His last show was the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. He pretended to be an arch-neocon as a bit, which was not only hilarious but also resulted in several high profile right wingers eating the onion.

                          I always find the term eating the onion amusing. Especially as a Australian where we had a conservative Prime Minister bite into and eat a raw onion like an apple.

                              I'm sure he will do great things after. I would vote for him if he ran for pres.

                                  David letterman wasn't great. I saw the first episodes back then. Boring! But I was a kid watching Batman cartoons. Colbert kicks butt.

                                    I regularly watch his monologues the day after. They're not his greatest work but they still hit and were a nice bit of comfort in really shitty times.

                                        His character (also named Stephen Colbert) was specifically and primarily based on Bill O'Reilly, who was not pretending. It's why Stephen often referred to Bill as "Papa Bear"

                                          I'm confused, because I was watching the late show before I was a teenager in the late 80s.
