To our dearest, The Reverend Sir Doctor Sen. Stephen T. Mos Def Colbert, D.F.A., Heavyweight Champion of the World** La Premiere Dame De France:

Two weeks from now — after the chaos of the holidays has settled down, and you battle with the implications of your newfound immortality — I imagine you'll find yourself on Reddit, despite it being "not as useful as it used to be.” Perhaps you’ll wander over to /r/ColbertReport and the vapid wasteland it will have become — void of any new information, insightful discussions, or humanity.

In other words, a younger-skewing Fox News.

And despite the desolation, you’ll see this note. And you’ll realize what you’ve done.

This is America, goddamn it. And we aren’t about to be deprived of the Truthiness that makes this country The Greatest Country on the Face of the EarthTM. You may think The Colbert Report is over, but it’s just begun — as much as anything that’s a decade old can “begun.”

It’s time for a surge. A surge into the guts of the American People — where we’ll likely discover how deficient we are all in fiber. We’ll spread that gut knowledge — or “gutledge” — until the nation is pooping out encyclopedias.

And it’s not just gutledge and crap-stained books we’ll be spreading, but we’ll be spreading action. The kind of action that puts you in crotch-accentuating spandex in support of the speed skating team, or in a crotch-accentuating jumpsuit in support of rallies to support sanity and/or fear, or whatever crotch-accentuating pants that made Jane Fonda sit on your lap that one time.

Action that makes a world-changing point not by debate, reason, or logic, but by showing how ridiculous it is that we can donate mystery money to Super Pacs or that we can name Hungarian bridges or that we can run for President. (I could have sworn only Bushes and Clintons could run.)

What I’m saying is, you’ll never have to run your “Who’s Not Honoring Me Now” segment again. Not because your show is no longer on the air, but because I’m honoring you — we’re honoring you — every day we better know, threat down, cheat death, tip, wag, or nail ‘em.

Thanks for the great 110 months. We’ll take it from here.

The episode has a really funny segment about Low-T and Low-O that seems to have been wiped from the internet. Internet archive has it but it’s not watchable in that format.

Guest for 10/24

Hi all! I have tickets for the 10/24 taping and it looks like they excluded that day from the guest list release. In your experience does that mean it’s either a huge name or can it be the show is going to be cancelled that night?

Can we like start a GoFundMe to buy the rights to Stephen Colbert's character Stephen Colbert and give them to him as a gift so he can do his old character again?

help finding sentimental clip now that the CC website is gone?

7 Upvotes

A dear friend and coworker of mine who passed away this spring absolutely loved the “blown away by the USA - Who’s riding my coattails now” bit from April 21, 2009 - it’s Colbert mocking a senators patriotic album

She would always sing “I thank god for freedom, beef and the constitution” and it took me ages to find the episode it was from- I’d play it from time to time on the Comedy Central website just for a laugh and to remind me of her

I’m not tech savvy and can’t seem to find any site legal or not that has the clip and I don’t know how to do any fancy torrent or downloading

Does anyone have the clip of this segment or know a link to this episode? 😢 season 5 episode 53, the guest is Mike kryzewski

update: FOUND! a literal angel sent me a message and helped track it down im so so grateful to know this wonderfully stupid bit is still in the world 😭thank you thank you thank you!

I used to think Colbert was a saint, but last night he told the president to step down.

Why does YouTube not have new videos from Colbert/Fallon/Kimmel/Myers??

1 Upvotes

I’ve been watching late night shows on YouTube the day the air for quite some time. In the last 2 weeks there have been 0 new videos out. It’s weird, I know there is not a strike going on. Anyone know why?!

Remembering a monologue bit by an older gentleman with a German accent describing the futility of mankind. He was on probably five times? I'd like to rewatch and transcribe his monologues.

[Controversial & Serious] Did Stephen Colbert ever force himself onto a woman to kiss her during his show in the 2000s?

0 Upvotes

I don't know if this is a fever dream or not but I definitely remember an episode with two ladies on the show, and Stephen Colbert grabbed one and suddenly kissed her.

I saw it when I was in my early teens, thinking it was weird, and I remember mom gasping. For reference, this would've been during his 1 800 OOPS JEW phase.

I doubt Colbert has any intention to do something like this again, but I still feel it's important to confirm whether or not this happened. Does anyone have any links?

Why hasn't Stephen talked about Gaza?

9 Upvotes

It's kind of depressing, he used to have an edge and tackle the tough stuff, now it's almost all movie stars and when he does have a political figure on it's all soft & gentle, like his kid gloves interview w Liz Cheney.

I know that this murderous orgy of revenge killing and carpet bombing of civilians that is going on in Gaza is difficult to know how to approach for many reasons but just pretending it's not happening so you don't offend your advertisers is, well, cowardly.

Now that John Stewart is retired, Stephen has evolved into a mainstream soft jocular typical late night host and Bill Maher has gone libertarian/MAGA there's nobody out there pushing the edges of progressive political humor anymore.

Anyone out there seeing any fresh, sharp, edgy comedians we should keep an eye on? Because there is a huge vacuum right now, and at a time when we really need someone like the old Stephen and John to step up and take the mantle.

Shrimp Taint Clip

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for the clip, "The Colbert Report: Untaint My Shrimp" from April 19, 2010. Yes, it's specific, but it made me laugh so hard that I cried, and my 13yo just learned what the taint is so now I need to show that clip to him so he can laugh so hard he cries too. I was massively pregnant with him when that clip aired, and I feel like it's come full circle.

It's not on the CC site, not on YouTube, and it's not on Prime. I could barely even find a reference to it and thought I was imagining the whole thing when I found a reference in a random article on Eater.com. Can anyone link me? Help me make my kid laugh until his stomach hurts.

Does anyone go back and rewatch this show?

I'm thinking about downloading old The Daily Show and CR and syncing them so I can watch them like I used to do but I have a feeling it isn't going to that great with all the old news

Just wondering if anyone watches old episodes are they still entertaining?
