after they recorded this, the editor was probably like, (stretches fingers out) "I've got some editing to do. Where's that bleep sound effect and the blur?"
It's not likely at all that he had no preparation. Standard procedure is for the show staff to sit down with the guests in the green room and go over what will be talked about.
Serai3 Yeah, he probably knew in general, but it might not have been written like with Bob Odenkirk or something. Key is a great improviser. Both he and Stephen were on Whose Line.
I missed Obama when he expanded the wars into Syria, Lybia, and Yemen, or when he killed more civilians with drones than any other seated president, or when he didn't close Gitmo, or when he never prosecuted the banking industry for bankrupting our country, or when he appointed Goldman Sacs executives to his White House board, or when he pretended to care about the poisoned water in Flint, or when he gave us a right wing healthcare plan, or when he deported more immigrants than any prior president (even fucking piece of shit Bush), or when expanded the surveillance state... I can go on. He is only missed because Trump is awful, but he was by no means a GOOD president.
I think it would be funny to see them do a reverse anger translator for Trump instead, like someone trying to explain Trump's points in the more collected and reserved tone.
Annabel Attridge trump - i want to build a wall translation - im racist trump - my son don did nothing wrong translation - im a lier trump - covfefe translation - i have no fucking idea
Str8edgejon Actually all I hear is the Roots, Keegan, and Stephen! Who the hell is Romero Meigns? Reminds me of my friend who plays in a mariachi band, Tomero Reigns. Could be a different guy though!
Dear Stephen Colbert, please make this "Anger Translator" a regular bit. There are things that we all think, need to be said and heard by the masses that you or your show will get into trouble for, but I needed this clip in my life because the world does not make sense anymore.
As much as I love watching Key do absolutely anything, that's a hard Hells Nooo on Booker. We need true progressive Leftists in government, Not corporate democrats like Schumer, Pelosi, Booker, Harris and too many damn others.
@Monica G, I think you are mistaken. Senator Cory Booker and Senator Kamala Harris are two of the most progressive senators we have. I mean just look at their voting records, they vote progressive literally everytime bit.ly/2Ftp4Nc. There aren't many people out there who have better tracks records.
The only thing that made me laugh harder than seeing Luther reemerge, is watching Colbert completely losing it in the background 🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg I can't breathe
It really speaks for his comedic chops AND his intelligence that he can just slip back into that character and be topical on a moment’s notice. God damn do I love this man.
Few things make me actually laugh. Smile, chuckle a bit, yes, but few make me actually really laugh these day. Keegan-Michael Key's Anger Translator is one of those few things. He's fantastic.
Luther is just my favorite dude these days and I am coming back to rewatch all of these, it's giving me peace. KMK didn't have to go that hard, but he brought the whole thing. Just too good. 👏🏼
He's no longer just Obama's anger translator, he's everybodys anger translator! lmao
YAAAAAAS. he is!
lawwdd... I'd much rather fund his future heart transplant than my own.. we could all chip in, and let him voice our anger.. :)
He's America's Anger Translator
M A true man. So true
Trump's cunning plan, kill voters. Good luck with that!
That moment when his eyes go from normal to crazy and you know Luther has taken over
i started cracking up before he even said a word
PixlPlayer When he jumped out of his seat... Stephen lost it!!! The perawet (sp) at the Stairs was Hilarious!!! 😉😀
'pirouette' ... but we all knew what you meant ... and agree!
damn true
I love that you say "taken over" like Luther is a parasite who shares his body
oh god "id say you people make me sick but i cant aford that because i ain't got the damn insurance" great line
haha that's my favorite part
Too funny! I'm in tears from laughing at that line, lol!
Lyle Kirsch
Lmmfao
I had to pause after that line because I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe. Thankfully I didn’t suffer hypoxia because... well, you know.
I was smoking a bowl and nearly choke to death.
Keegan is a master improviser. I'm just glad the cameraman was able to keep up with him.
Talk shows aren't improvised. Everything is scripted before hand.
The questions are scripted, not so much the answers - hense when they get an answer so long that there's not time for the other questions
I was there, that segment went way long and was funny AF. not even close to scripted.
Ettore Namias You think they rehearse with the entire audience around? Now that would just be tedious
Kurostyle21 you sent a reply to the wrong person
“THATS WHY WE RUNNIN FOR A THIRD TERM!”
“No, we’re not.”
“Oh we’re not?”
“WHO THE HELL SAID THAT??!!?”
lol my favorite moment from the speech 😆
That is so Luther and I love it
Luther is a goddamn National Treasure, and I'm Canadian!
Chuck PK I agree, and I'm Mexican...
Chuck PK Agreed!! 🇨🇦
Chuck PK I agree, and I am German
Chuck PK Me too. And I'm Filipino
I agree...and I am.....well I'll let you profile me for urself....go ahead I don't mind...#LighterNote
I'd watch that TV show.
"The Retired Life of Luther, Obama's Anger Translator"
Mj F goddamn it, Netflix, make that tv show happen!!!
probably time to pitch that now that DJT is outta there... i doubt he's gonna double jeopardy himself and go for the next election ...
I like how quickly he changes his character, in like split of second. True talent.
khalid zeyad f
khalid zeyad u
Like the movie 'Split'
He's a brilliant actor
That is a great way to show off the lining of your suit.
that magenta lining was sharp!
I bet colberts censor was having a heart attack throughout all of this
They pre record
after they recorded this, the editor was probably like, (stretches fingers out) "I've got some editing to do. Where's that bleep sound effect and the blur?"
I can't believe he did a fucking backflip, that shit had me dying
GoliathWarfare And in a full suit, without messing it up. Very impressive!
That's a great way to show off the lining of your suit!
@@maryhales4595 “How about the lining?” “Tactical”
Maybe linea
"Don T. Care: DON'T CARE!"
ODekaK Penny has dropped! Thank you very much!
2 years later, but that line is GENIUS
Still rings true, at this point in time.
Now take yourself to Oh'Shaq Hennessy's office right now!!!!!
BlueKnight you mean principle O Shonasey ?
Geezus 2900 You done messed up A-ARon
LOL!
I said ............. BITCHHHHH.....!
Musawir Mehfuz INSUBORDINATE...
AND CHIRDISH.
He improvised without any preparation. But it was still good
Only about 10% of that was improvised.
Hassan Rao They do a rehearsal.
you don't need to improvise the real news. seems like he was just reading it off of the teleprompter, as calmly as he could.
It's not likely at all that he had no preparation. Standard procedure is for the show staff to sit down with the guests in the green room and go over what will be talked about.
Serai3 Yeah, he probably knew in general, but it might not have been written like with Bob Odenkirk or something. Key is a great improviser. Both he and Stephen were on Whose Line.
I love how he immediately has perfect chemistry with Jon Batiste
CptShiba jon is the best💯👑😍
"ma nigga"
it's a black thing
Ricky Blake- mebbe so, but still a very human thing.
@@tracer740 That's what we do! You may not fully understand. **Dap!**
I miss Luther and I really miss Obama
All sain ppl do
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It'd be nice to have a real president again.
Cheetos Ortiz Agreed.
I missed Obama when he expanded the wars into Syria, Lybia, and Yemen, or when he killed more civilians with drones than any other seated president, or when he didn't close Gitmo, or when he never prosecuted the banking industry for bankrupting our country, or when he appointed Goldman Sacs executives to his White House board, or when he pretended to care about the poisoned water in Flint, or when he gave us a right wing healthcare plan, or when he deported more immigrants than any prior president (even fucking piece of shit Bush), or when expanded the surveillance state... I can go on. He is only missed because Trump is awful, but he was by no means a GOOD president.
This is going to be Keegan Michael Keys legacy character and it's beautiful
RichMoney can’t forget Coach Hines
Definitely coach Hines and the substitute teacher
Hey Aronron 😂🤣😂
The comic timing of Key is just great. I would have really liked their take on Trump presidency in Key and Peele.
I think it would be funny to see them do a reverse anger translator for Trump instead, like someone trying to explain Trump's points in the more collected and reserved tone.
You would need about twelve people to keep up.
The Geecy Project damn man yeah
@@thegeecyproject that's what FOX News tries to do
I watched this while letting a face mask dry and was unable to laugh. This was poor planning on my part.
medulla oblongata Try to keep your cringe in check, holy shit...
I think key was high
Postman206 I felt like some twas off about him. He's a wild bachelor now so possibly. Hopefully not though
doing literally the same thing right now and regretting it...
Yea hate when that happens
4:06 Colbert holding out His laugh.
I swear I never seen him openly laugh like any other late night hosts.
Saraf i find it so much more funny if he cannot contain his laughter than if he'd shout out laughing like Jon Batiste does, it's so annoying
I noticed that too! But that's what makes him so charming.
@Annaw33 Oh no, I'm not against him doing this.
I'm just saying he's far better than some host that usually fake or exaggerate their laugh.
All the other hosts tend to over-exaggerate sometimes. I think after the Daily Show and the Report he's just conditioned to subdue it
Saraf Johnny Carson would losr his shit on set. check em out
God, I hope Obama watches this video.
Goddamn, he is funny.
Just funny looking!
Beg to differ deakon... Keegan/Luther is yummy.
You need your eyes checked numnuts!
deakon jarvis why is that so offensive to you?
Fuck Off Hans!
A-mazing x'D
That Cena joke killed me ...
true
I just realized that Luther is half Denzel, and half Will Smith. Ha!
One hell of a family reunion then
As soon as he stood up, Stephen lost control of his show (and his laughter) lmao it was beautiful
He's a very handsome man. And that's a damn fine suit.
OMG! I have been begging for Luther to speak for Obama for months and this was worth the wait. I'm crying!!
5:35 You ever get so fucking mad that you start doing gymnastics? I know I do.
With the leg flail on the staircase! 🤣🤣🤣
Trump needs a smart translator
There's nothing compatible with smart to translate.
Annabel Attridge
trump - i want to build a wall
translation - im racist
trump - my son don did nothing wrong
translation - im a lier
trump - covfefe
translation - i have no fucking idea
I think a smart translator would give up after two minutes of that incoherent babble.
We won't have the technology to make Trump seem smart for years. We have more hope in translating dog barks into the cure for cancer.
Trumps got Conway lol she did everybody a dumb favor already
I dont think Luther has heard of Juan Cena.
I don't think he's seen him either...
All you see is the 60 pounds of drugs flying over and ask who the fuck threw that???
Don't know didn't see him.
Str8edgejon literally crying laughing right now, didn't think the comments section could get any better!
John Sandmeier
All you hear is a mariachie band playing his theme and cheering and Booing.
What's Next Romero Meigns?
Str8edgejon Actually all I hear is the Roots, Keegan, and Stephen! Who the hell is Romero Meigns? Reminds me of my friend who plays in a mariachi band, Tomero Reigns. Could be a different guy though!
"Don.T Care". that was so clever
For now on he is no longer obama's anger translator, He is the we the people anger translator.
i think obama has a google alert whenever luther has a new bit
I miss Key and Peele
Rodney Cardona A-a-ron
Balake
nooooise
Meegan
"you people make me sick but i can't afford that because i don't have any dame insurance!!!" Oh Luther
I laughed so hard tears started coming out of my eyes. Keegan-Michael Key is a a national treasure.
Dear Stephen Colbert, please make this "Anger Translator" a regular bit. There are things that we all think, need to be said and heard by the masses that you or your show will get into trouble for, but I needed this clip in my life because the world does not make sense anymore.
2:07
the moment he switches :D
Am I the only one waiting for a skit with Luther and Melissa Mcarthy as Sean Spicer? Just me? Okay, I'll sit down.
Jawel Zimbabwe I'd be up for that too, someone should make it happen.
Jawel Zimbabwe YES!! Those two would be a freakin POWERHOUSE!!
That would be hilarious.
YES
He is a comedy legend.
*wipes off tears of joy* This is art in its purest form!
Bruh! If Sen. Cory Booker runs in 2020, Keegan would play a perfect parody of him.
T-Tay that would be awesome
Exactly
Had Booker nutted up and ran in 2016 we most likely wouldn't be in this mess. But yeah I totally agree.
As much as I love watching Key do absolutely anything, that's a hard Hells Nooo on Booker. We need true progressive Leftists in government, Not corporate democrats like Schumer, Pelosi, Booker, Harris and too many damn others.
@Monica G, I think you are mistaken. Senator Cory Booker and Senator Kamala Harris are two of the most progressive senators we have. I mean just look at their voting records, they vote progressive literally everytime bit.ly/2Ftp4Nc. There aren't many people out there who have better tracks records.
The only thing that made me laugh harder than seeing Luther reemerge, is watching Colbert completely losing it in the background 🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg I can't breathe
His improv is incredible, an absolute talent
Keegan's genuinely angry... I can see it in his eyes, lol :D
I fuck with his suit
Victor Hilaire Ayyye.
He is America's Anger Translator now.
"I would say you people make me sick, but i can't afford that" gold
This guy is incredibly talented.
The sip of coffee when Keegan returned killed me!😂😂
That was cathartic for me man. And I think it was for everyone
there's no "Love" button on UA-cam, so adding this clip to my Favourites instead
That is the first time I applauded during a UA-cam video.
Luther's little anger kick is my favorite. I might need to copy that sometime
I like how he engages the crazy eyes right before starting
I worked as a salesman for an Italian suit brand for a couple of years and i can tell, his suitpants are solid as hell despite all these stunts lmaoo
Watching this man turn into Luther is the closest we'll get to a real life Jekyll and Mr. Hyde... it was mesmerizing.
“I WOULD SAY YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK, BUT I CAN’T AFFORD THAT BECAUSE I AIN’T GOT NO DAMN INSURANCE!!!!”
It really speaks for his comedic chops AND his intelligence that he can just slip back into that character and be topical on a moment’s notice. God damn do I love this man.
If that was improv, Key deserves an Oscar!
"60lbs,...just chuckin' bags...chuckin' bags!" 🤣
You dont know how much you miss something until its gone. I REALLY MISS LUTHOR!
NO TRUER WORDS HAVE BEEN SPOKEN IN THE COURSE OF AMERICAN HISTORY. ....AMEN.....AMEN!
"And that's why we're running for a third term"😂😂
...who the Hell said that?!>!?!?!?
McD5791 hahahaha😂😂
"no, no, no, we're not..." 😂😂😂
“Don T Care” might be the best improvised line of all time!
LUTHER!!!
⬅John Cena's Mexican cousin...But Joo can't see me,even through see thru wall.Esse.
Jose Garza Underrated comment of 2017
Juan cena
Dgrayman JJ you mean Juan Dinner
lol!
Cue that john cena meme
And his name, is JUUUUUAAAANN CEEEEENNNA!!!
I love the lining of that suit
I love this guy!!! He has a open path straight to my funny bone.
I was there for this live and immediately knew it would go viral
I love how Stephen is trying his hardest to control himself from bursting into laughter.
We need Luther back.
I could watch this an infinite number of times - this is pure gold!!!
"Don T care" is one of the most clever things Key has come up with I swear
Colbert: "We'll be right back with Cillian Murphy!"
Cillian Murphy: "naaaah, I'm good..."
Imagine following THAT. xD
Luther is one of my favorite TV characters of all time! He needs his own show.
I wanted him to say "You dun messed up Trump" soooooo bad
This guy is amazing! I am on the FLOOR. DAMN LOOOOOL!
I never have enough of Keegan-Michael Key ❤️
One of the best performers alive today.
Ah Luthor! Can we get a logic translator for Trump!
There isn't any
Error 404
When he said "I spent 8 years tearing down walls, and this fucker wants to put a wall up", I suddenly feel sad
The moment he turned into Luther was magic 😂😂
4:15 I'm loving the new Late Show host. RIP Colbert.
03:26 The Transition will Kill You. 💓💓💓
Omg... crying... just crying 😭
Holy shit, that was beautiful in every conceivable way.
Few things make me actually laugh. Smile, chuckle a bit, yes, but few make me actually really laugh these day. Keegan-Michael Key's Anger Translator is one of those few things. He's fantastic.
I bet Keegan could do an incredible Lavar Ball impression 🤔
Adam Heavens Oh shit! You're a genius!
This is probably the reason Cilian Murphy seemed so off in his interview. He was like, "I've got to follow up that?"
Keegan is a master if his craft! So funny and consistently so!
Luther. Is. Back.
Poor Cillian Murphy was probably backstage wondering how the fuck he's supposed to follow that
if John Cena has a Mexican cousin, there's no point in having a transparent wall because we can't see him.
This man is a national treasure.
Luther is just my favorite dude these days and I am coming back to rewatch all of these, it's giving me peace. KMK didn't have to go that hard, but he brought the whole thing. Just too good. 👏🏼
I've laughed at, and laughed with this guy even back when he was still in MAD TV.
bring back key and Peele we. need them now more than ever
I had to pause video countless times, just to catch my breath from compulsive laughter!
He is truly amazing!
You should try to get him on to let us see how Luther interpreted Obama's convention speech last night.
