    Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

    Might I just add that as a Muslim, I've never been more worried and depressed that in such a crucial time a Muslim just comes out of nowhere and tries to harm innocent people. I hope he's prosecuted to the fullest. Also great to hear no one got seriously harmed.

    I almost feel bad for the terrorist. He went through all that trouble just to mildly annoy people and get mocked on national television.

  • @SamItalia08
    @SamItalia08 7 років тому +67

    This is good, this is really good. The way he blatantly makes fun of this guy is the best media coverage of a mass violent act I've seen because not only does Stephen disregard the common notion to concede in sadness to a terror attack, he ridicules the man and brings personal shame to someone who tried to ruin many people's lives

    • @99thTuesday
      @99thTuesday 7 років тому +4

      I agree that it's a good response, and that humour is a great way to disarm the fear that can accompany attacks like this, but Stephen was only able to go to a place of comedy because there were no fatalities in this attack. A body count changes the rubric.

    • @SamItalia08
      @SamItalia08 7 років тому +6

      Yea, wouldn't want him to be throwing these kinds of jokes around with people losing their lives but situationally this was brilliant.

    • @jincyquones
      @jincyquones 7 років тому +17

      Mass public ridicule may be one of the most effective deterrents to terrorism and mass killing, even, if not especially, if actual lives are lost. People who kill other people en masse do so EXACTLY because they wish to elicit fear and grief. Killing lots of people is, unfortunately, a rather easy way of becoming (in)famous, and the treatment the sort of people who would do such a thing receive in the public eye, as people with the power to cause suffering and who should be feared, doesn't do anything to deter them. It actually encourages them further!
      Emotionally, it might feel wrong to make light of a morbid situation, but if you think about it, it's the only response (other than no response at all) that actually undermines the intentions of the terrorist. Terrorists seek to manipulate the public's emotions and provoke a disproportionate response to what is actually a minuscule threat (according to the CDC, a half of a million people die every year in the U.S. alone as a result of smoking, including 40,000 just from second-hand smoke exposure... terrorism is a basket of kittens in comparison). In the event that a terrorist act failed to be prevented, the best way to retaliate is to make sure the committer isn't remembered for what he sought out to accomplish.
      It's basically psychological warfare.

    Really, this is more like a feel-good story to me. It shows how resilient our city is, and how much we've all grown throughout the years. No one was killed, all injured are out of the hospital, and the bastard is in jail. Pretty good turnout.

    I believe this is the first terror attack I've ever heard of where it was mocked 2 days later. This was a serious threat that luckily didn't kill anyone, but we're all just joking about it.
    I think that's because it's a failed terror attack, nobody was critically injured and nobody died so it's easy to make fun of it soon after.

    • @erichamion

      Ridicule is the opposite of the fear that terrorists (of any kind) want to cause, so it's the best reaction, as long as it's not insensitive to the victims and their families. In this case, the few victims were only mildly harmed, so the ridicule is perfect.

    really like the bit, but i would have prefered if you didnt say his name and didnt show face. many people like him do it for the attention and they get it this way.. would love if just leave out name and face next time :P

    Mocking the terrorist is great, but putting his name and photo on the news is probably what he wanted. Don't give him the attention.

    I love how Colbert and other liberals try so hard to ignore the big elephant in the room, not even so they can refute it. I suppose I can understand why he doesn't want to acknowledge it since its messy business and this is relatively minor incident but I just hope the elephant doesn't crush everyone in the room while they're all too busy trying to pretend its not there.

    Eh, this kind of sounds like Stephen is telling terrorists to step up their game if they attack again. There's something kind of weird about mocking him because his terrorist attack didn't do enough damage.

    • @jayzenitram9621

      Right! ISIS is sitting on their dirt living rooms thinking "They're mocking me? Now I'm pissed!" /s

    • @krombopulos_michael
      @krombopulos_michael 7 років тому

      Jay Zenitram Most of these attacks aren't even ISIS, they're just people from America who are crazy fans. But the point isn't that this is going to make more stuff happen, just that it's weird to mock a psycho for not managing to kill people.

    • @jayzenitram9621
      @jayzenitram9621 7 років тому

      Krombopulos Michael I think mockery is the perfect response to this stuff. It definitely beats an "I'm shitting my pants" response. But anyway, my point was that they are already intent on blowing you up, lack of motivation isn't their problem.

    • @krombopulos_michael
      @krombopulos_michael 7 років тому

      Jay Zenitram I think making jokes is fine and all and I'm glad we're belittling people like this (like he said, nothing wrong with terror-shaming), it's just the fact that the joke is saying "haha, what a loser, he didn't even ruin our lives by killing people" is a weird issue to go after.
      I think it's because if you sort of say "we don't respect him because he failed to kill anyone", then by that logic, it means we do have some kind of respect for the ones who actually are successful in their attack.

    • @jayzenitram9621
      @jayzenitram9621 7 років тому

      Krombopulos Michael I see your point.

  • @ImVeryOriginal
    @ImVeryOriginal 7 років тому +4

    Did he just play off an attempted terror attack as light-hearted comedy? I get that the attack wasn't succesful and you don't want to give him the guy what he wants by spreading panic, but the carefree tone is really jarring.

    • @GamonKills
      @GamonKills 7 років тому +17

      no one was killed, this is the right thing to do. take the terror away from them

    • @ImVeryOriginal
      @ImVeryOriginal 7 років тому +1

      I get that, I just think it didn't have to be as cheery, a bit more dark humor if you know what I mean. But ultimately I'm glad nobody has been seriously hurt and Stephen got to joke around about it.

    • @jhsia3666
      @jhsia3666 7 років тому +9

      This was definitely the right thing to do, the point of terrorism is to cause terror, which you can't when New Yorkers are being badasses and making fun of the attempt. Also, Colbert is a New Yorker himself, I don't mind him joking about his home

    Yes, it's funny when everyone is more or less okay and no one died, but is it really funny? It might not be a "big deal" because no one was killed but is it really no deal at all? Or were we just lucky that the guy was an incompetent domestic terrorist? His intentions were to maim and kill people. Just remember that the Boston marathon bombers used homemade pressure cooker bombs that killed 3 people and injured 264.
    Of course not panicking and not over-blowing the situation is the right way to react but to not take it seriously isn't. We're all happy everyone is alive, but it doesn't always turn out that way. Of course we've had worse happen, we had 3,000 people die in one day. Of course in proportion to that this is nothing. But no one dying this time doesn't make us better people, that makes us lucky f***ers; Minnesota was not as lucky this weekend. As a New Yorker born and raised and having lived here my whole life, and just blocks away from WTC on 9-11-01, all I can say is stay cool NYC, keep on keeping on, but don't be arrogant.
