@Emma The Dilemma the voice actors, behind the Elmo character, have been changed over the years, especially after the scandal of the first original voice actor’s private life came out.
I'm sure Elmo is correct in that his target audience doesn't watch Colbert's show, but I have a suspicion that some of Colbert's target audience will watch Elmo's new show (and I'm not talking about the parents of Elmo's target audience, either). 🙃
Plus, even though you're specifically not mentioning them I will; I'd be willing to bet plenty of the parents of Elmo's target demographic surely watch Colbert after they put the kids to bed
Maybe not on the whole, but the clips that make it to youtube demonstrate some VERY clever writing. For example, did you know that Jack Black knows what an octagon is?
Me too! I was all smiles just seeing and listening to Elmo reminding me of the better times. Maybe have Stephen go on Elmo's show when this is all over. Having both Stephen AND Elmo on the screen side to side......sighhhhhh😍💕💕💕
I LOVE YOU ELMO, Can you start your own youtube channel so we can ALL see you again. I miss and need your smiles and laughter. Pllllllleeeeeeeezzzz... I dont do HBO, I'm sorry. LOVE YOU TOO COLBERT... BUNCHES. And Evie is right about the Handsome Man In Black. 😊❤
C J - Elmo would be one of the “grown ups in the room” in the Trump administration. Which means he would soon be fired or otherwise forced out when he tried to give Trump sensible advice like “don’t inject disinfectant, Mr President. That’s dangerous.”
'C' is for corrupt and classless and crazy and childish and cowardly and cold and clueless and compromised and cancerous and creepy and conniving and crook and con artist and chapter 11...
Well based on the GOP position on PBS and well Trump's position 0n ....anything, they may hold off on hot takes because it maybe on HBO, but it is still a kid's show.
Seriously I never liked Elmo. His voice and how young he is supposed to be on Sesame Street never made me like him when I watched it growing up. I was already too old for Elmo when he made his appearance on the show. Not to mention I remember the Tickle me Elmo Riots....
Honestly I can't thank Elmo and the whole of Sesame street enough for the amazing entertainment for my 18 month old during lockdown. Now things are easing up in my country it should be a bit easier. But sesame streets youtube has been a literal saving grace recently.
That's so adorable. You should have a new segment "The world the way Elmo sees it" with Elmo. And Elmo would tell everyone his view on current times. Thta would be great.
Even though there’s been a little controversy with Elmo’s past voice shall we say, I still like his new voice: Okay, here goes, my first love on Sesame Street was and always will be “GROVER!” There, I said it, whew! It’s a generational thing, I was born in 1964. Thanks; Matty
Reminds me of what Colbert the character told O’Reilly. The difference between copying and emulating is that if you emulate someone, you don’t owe them royalties.
That was precious, and soooooo needed! Elmo's face when Stephen suggests he may, oh, I don't know, be possibly copying the show name is super funny - thank you!
That was SOOOO CUTE! I hope we get the not too late show in Australia. The E does seem to be modelling his suit on Jimmy Kimmel... or John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. That would be interesting. I see an Uma muppet in the works.
@@sarahoshea9603 I actually bothered to look that up in Wikipedia's List of Muppets (incredibly there is such a thing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Muppets). The Muppet was Janice & the band was 'Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem'.
God that was cute and I loved it....I feel like I just had a mega dose of suga....that Steven Colbert IS ABSOLUTELY IRRESISTABLE.....Oh. and Elmo was darling...that sweet lil sugar dumplin i could just dunk him in my coffee and bite his buns ...do you think Mrs. Colbert would mind? I won`t take more than one little bite.
Caroll Edwin Spinney was an American puppeteer, cartoonist, author and speaker most famous for playing Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street from its inception in 1969 until 2018.
Cute interview! I just found out abt Elmo's "Not Too Late Show" today, what a great concept. Hilarious that Cookie Monster is Elmo's sidekick on the show (tho I think Cookie should be host/Elmo the sidekick). Nice that we can watch it on YTube 😊
This got me thinking... Has anyone seen Gitmo lately? Wouldn't surprise me if they released him just before the quarantaine, so he had to go back inside rightaway...
I’m 22 years old and this brought me so much joy. Elmo’s voice is just so sweet.
Me too and I’m 40. 😂
Same, but I can't help but over-analyze how his voice has changed. Something's off...Or maybe I've watched too many Elmo impressions
I thought so too.

Well, hard to stand up if your legs are felt. XD

Elmo looked so offended at being accused of copying lol.
That was my favorite part
Hell Yes

This is just brilliant

Ooooh my heart can’t handle this adorableness
I legit got happy when he said Elmo was the guest. Dont judge me.
Me too! I was all smiles just seeing and listening to Elmo reminding me of the better times. Maybe have Stephen go on Elmo's show when this is all over. Having both Stephen AND Elmo on the screen side to side......sighhhhhh😍💕💕💕

TM for trademark. Should have added C for copyright. Hah!
it's easy to forget how good the Sesame Street writers/actors really are
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣why is that soooo funny?

Ugh, I hate to admit it, but I see why everybody likes him; he's pretty cute.
Elmo's pretty cute too.
Nicki Minaj agrees
thats how he got that 15 year old boy in his bed
this proves one thing, you are never too old to love muppets!
True story.
potterpotty01 So true. At least someone understands!
Can we make this a regular segment? I need Elmo’s hot takes on the Trump administration.
C J - Elmo would be one of the “grown ups in the room” in the Trump administration. Which means he would soon be fired or otherwise forced out when he tried to give Trump sensible advice like “don’t inject disinfectant, Mr President. That’s dangerous.”

I vote The Count for Secretary of the Treasury.
Pretty sure he already is
If he was, there wouldn't be a deficit. Over 50 years, he hasn't been wrong yet.
Or the head of the census bureau.
Ah ah ah ah
We already have a bloodsucking undead ghoul there though.
Although The Count does know more about numbers than the current ghoul.
I turn 28 tomorrow and Elmo still makes me so happy.
Happy birthday
Happy Birthday!!! 🎂🍾🥂👊🏼
😄
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎈🎉🎂 🎁 ERIN
Yay!!! :)
"There's a lot to be grouchy about".... 😄 ahhh, bless his heart 💚👍
Stephen's "Yaaaaay!" at the end gave me life. 😊
With the trademark muppet flailing arms!
"You're assuming Elmo is wearing pants."
*monkaS*
Waka-waka
Don’t let Melissa McCarthy hear that. She might have him cast in her next naughty muppet movie 🎥 😮
Everyone knows Elmo is a petophile do some research
@@dickdouse9482 He likes pets? Hey, don't we all?
BJ Rosen landlords would like to have a word with you
Is it odd that when I heard Elmo's voice I had the biggest urge to cry?
I felt like crying when he said everyone on sesame street is staying at home.
I get you..... I think the emotion that makes us cry and the emotion that makes us go "awww" are very close together.
It’s the warm feeling of childhood familiarity and nostalgia slapping you across the face after being so used to the ugly truths of today.
Not at all especially if it reminds you of a time of being safe.
I was about to cry too. Can't get that childhood back.
Elmo Not-So-Late Show + Cookie Monster Late-ish Show = RATINGS!!!
Cookie is Elmo's Jon baptiste in the show, so you kinda get your wish. 🙂
@@Jumpman2561 What? Not Rowlf or Dr. Teeth and the electric Mayhem?
i think Cookie monster did a bit with John Oliver a wile back.
Cookie Monster is totally Andy Richter.
Hopefully your both right; Cookie is the sidekick and Rolf is the bandleader
The emotional comfort Elmo's voice brings is something I'd forgotten. The minute he started talking my entire brain went "Its Elmo!" 😄😌
“The letters T and M” that was magical! XD
I didn't understand what he meant about "TM". LMAO
If I was Colbert, I would have shown Elmo the TM.
Is it a trademark joke? I don’t think I get it.
@@brandoncastellano1858 yes it is
I Love Elmo he’s my favorite, especially in his little suit!
When this all over and Stephen back at the Ed Sullivan Theater he needs get Elmo on and please Mr Colbert
Elmo is the hero we all need even if we might not deserve him.
How can someone dislike Elmo 🥺❤️
Someone whose soul has been absolutely crushed...
Seriously I never liked Elmo. His voice and how young he is supposed to be on Sesame Street never made me like him when I watched it growing up. I was already too old for Elmo when he made his appearance on the show. Not to mention I remember the Tickle me Elmo Riots....
His voice is terrible. I didn't grow up with the English version though.
I have to admit that Elmo has grown on me over the years. However, I cannot stand hearing him refer to himself in the third person.
They like Elmo. They dislike his plagiarism.
Honestly I can't thank Elmo and the whole of Sesame street enough for the amazing entertainment for my 18 month old during lockdown. Now things are easing up in my country it should be a bit easier. But sesame streets youtube has been a literal saving grace recently.
Super adorable!!! So glad Stephen let's the child in him loose sometimes 😄😄Adulting is hard work.
AMEN
I'm looking forward to Elmo's house band, Stay Monster.
I'd like to see Jon Batiste improv with Rowlf!
Great comment!!
@@lilychu8912 yes!!!
Nice
Stay Monster is his band or y just saying to people stay monster
This actually caused me to smile sincerely.
I'll get you for that Colbert!
😁
I am 29 years old today, and Elmo still put a smile on my face. Great interview. :')
Oh... a talk show. I saw that thumb, and thought Elmo joined the MIB.
I want either John Oliver and/or Bill Maher as Elmo's first guest(s). Topic: the Beef on Adam Driver.
Or who killed Mr Hooper
His first guest was Jimmy Fallon, but he had John Oliver on later in the season! So Win!
That's so adorable. You should have a new segment "The world the way Elmo sees it" with Elmo. And Elmo would tell everyone his view on current times. Thta would be great.
This was one of the most wholesome things I've ever seen

I'm a Grover fam too 👍😁
@Crystal Meth Snuffy is the... Snuffy's awesome.
Grover all the way 😍😋
ME TOO!!
Cookie monster, Kermit doing the news and Ernie were my all time favorites from sesame street.
Wow, this is absolutely cute to see Elmo!
Haha the letters T and M. I see what you did there 😂
Marjorie Tumamao I totally cracked up when Elmo said that! 😂
2:12 Didn't know Elmo could emote like that and it's hilarious
1 person doesn't like Elmo's reckless act of plagiarism.

Elmo checked with some experts. The letters T and M.. hahahahaha. Amazing.
I didn't understand what he meant about "TM". LMAO

This was so wholesome. It's weird.
As an adult, Elmo still makes me smile to this day 😊

Elmo’s in a Big Boy suit now. Maybe its about time for that voice to deepen now huh,... No. Okey.
how weird would that be.. it'll sound like my dad " HEY GET OVER HERE' 😆
Awwww his giggle after saying thank you. 💖🥰
Elmo talking about market capitalization lmao priceless
This is so wholesome and I didnt know how much I needed this.
The letters TM lol

OMG both are sooooooo freaking adorable I'm dead
Elmo not like being mean so welcome to Elmo's long running segment, Niiiicewhile!
That "I'm busted" laugh -- too cute!!!
That was SOOOO CUTE! I hope we get the not too late show in Australia. The E does seem to be modelling his suit on Jimmy Kimmel... or John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. That would be interesting. I see an Uma muppet in the works.
Do u remember the orange-yallowish muppet with sunglasses and long blonde hair in animals band? I always thought that looked like Uma Thurman
Any new Uma muppet's gonna get curb stomped by Miss Piggy. She hates sharing the spotlight.

Is it wrong, that when he asked "how's social distancing going for you Elmo" that I half expected a "hand up my ass" joke?
Thanks Colbert. I needed an Elmo fix.
Elmo might be the only one who can talk in 3rd person and make it sound cute instead of annoying or obnoxious!
True, because when Tarzan talks in 3rd person, it's annoying and ridiculous.
To the 65 monsters that disliked Elmo: Who hurt you?
Probably bc they received a "Trigger" Me Elmo for christmas.

That Elmo!
still 'tickles' me!
Yaaaay!!
I loved it when Stephen waved his arms at the end in said, "ahhhhh" with Elmo.
Hahaha...Seems like Elmo had a few extra cups of coffee ☕
In 2016 I ran posters: Elmo for President ELMO LOVES YOU.
Elmo will be a HUGE hit..., and the kids will like it too. ha ha ha
@2:13 I have no idea how the puppeteer is making his face look so “who, me?” but it’s incredible
Please bring Ms Piggy and Kermit. Their drama is what we need in news.
OMG. I loved that so much! That was hilarious and I loved the ending with them cheering. XD This was too cute.
"You're assuming Elmo's wearing pants."
My 10 month old loved this segment. He kept kissing elmo😂... Which is fine, I get to kiss Stephen so he doesn't feel left out. 😂
