Everything about how Jon Batiste explained his emotions: the body language, the hand gestures, the shifting of tones. He was born to be a storyteller, and he captures, even in a small way, the impact of Kobe.
antinapay. Beautifully said. There is a special on you tube on Jon's newest LP. I was blown away at the breadth of his work, the beauty of his soal. It reviews his life, his work, how he hooked up with Stephen. I hope you can find the vid. It so inspired me. He seems as beautiful on the inside as he is on the out.
@@bookbwitched466 is it this? ua-cam.com/video/Dco4F6HJv6I/v-deo.html
So so true. You can hear it in his music!
It's easier to express when you do a lot of critical thinking and brainstorming with others
Exactly my thoughts. Such eloquence and clarity. Much respect to him
-"Why compound misery with mystery?" Colbert is absolutely right.
Arturo Salas combound = combine + compound
@@mysisterisafoodie My bad!! Thank you very much!
Arturo Salas 😊 tbh I think he misspoke. Think he started off saying combine but ended up at compound.
@@mysisterisafoodie I think so! Strong message tho :(
Actually compound is very applicable to his sentiment, you are compounding the misery by also adding the mystery into it.
Stephen not just honoured Kobe and his daughter but the 7 other people lost in the crash. He said he never got the chance to meet Kobe but he certainly understands grief and the pain that the families of those who died will endure for the rest of their lives.
EDIT: Colbert is so profound when he’s being funny but mostly when he’s being serious. He’s explanation to his statement “What punishments of God aren’t gifts?” during his interview with Anderson Cooper about grief was so heartfelt and sincere and probably one that made the most sense.
I'm really glad he read out all of the names. Three children were lost. Three families lost more than one member :(
and he never met the guy lol, the master or ratings
Tom Noy I think it’s more because Kobe Bryant wasn’t as accessible in New York as he was in LA. I was surprised to hear that too but to be fair it’s hard to meet each and every celebrity. They’re so many out there
@Jess W Wow, you made your way here just to say that? Very classy
@@SmugSuspenders he got a point tho, the show is 99.9% jokes about the president
The reason Stephen became such a lover of TLOTR is because it gave him solace after the death of his father and brothers. A grieving boy could escape into a world of magic, glory, and heroes..
And the LOTR books were written by an author (Tolkien) whose father died when he was a small child, and whose mother died when he was 12.
Oh my I didn’t know this .... that must be also the reason why he has such strong fate
You should watch is Witness episodes on youtube. He gives a great interview and tells the story of his faith back and forth and his family
It also might have helped that the hero of LOTR had suffered similar grief. In the books, Frodo Baggins lost both his parents as a child in a sudden boating accident (Come to think of it, a lot of the Fellowship have lost at least one parent; Sam, Boromir and Legolas are all missing a mother and Aragon's lost both parents, his father being killed when he was a kid).
One of my friends is a die-hard LOTR fan who lost her dad as a kid, and she's told me that having Frodo be such a relatable character really helped her at the time.
I've always wondered if Stephen was the same.
I've been a fan since I saw the Hobbit back in the seventies. I had both parents at home, but no love so they may as well not have been there. My son's dogs are even named Baggins and Frodo. No joke. I'd love to see that old Hobbit movie again. If you haven't seen it yet to find it.
To see Stephen like this with his pain, his sorrow, and his passion is something I will always respect and appreciate him as a human being. But to see Jon Batiste this serious about a tragedy...it shook me. It wasn’t even that he was very emotional. He was just incredibly genuine and real. And seeing him that serious is not something we are a custom to. Much respect to both of these men. I’m thankful they are still with us.
So true...he's the only person i heard so far that made me feel so freaking related, like, ok, people die everyday, i know...but still catched us sooo off guard
Well said!
Agreed. They both addressed this tragedy with respect, love, and depth.
I was struck with their respective statements and thoughts, and was taken aback by Stephen's own tragedy, of which I knew nothing. I'm in tears while writing this...again.
Jon is a wonderful man. His humor and passion is paramount. He needs to stand up with Stephen during his show
Toori Baba what a depressing and mean spirited thing to say? Do you have proof to back up your statement or are you void of compassion towards the bereaved? Maybe you just need a hug?
Stephen understands too well how losing a father and sibling suddenly, violently can impact your family. Prayers for everyone who lost a loved one in this crash. I have been waiting for someone to mention the names of the other members of that flight. Pure class from Colbert.
I agree with you. I'm so pleased he mentioned the other people who perished in this crash. They are all grieving and we grieve with them. 😥😥
I pray to listen. Hopefully the ones hurting will have the ability to hear.
It would be nice if more people cared about mentioning those who weren't celebrities
keawarren 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
other ppl have been mentioning the other families
Someone who actually understands the grief, and has ideas for solutions.
He broke it down beautifully
Yup I said the same thing!!
I didn’t know about Stephen’s loss until now. I love him even more now. God bless.
I didn't either. It's compelling and definitely makes me appreciate his humor more. I had no idea.
Watch his interview on Anderson Cooper. It's a different side to him and the conversation is so real.
He's a fake. We will see how serious and sad he is when someone he doesn't like dies.
John Karpierz he’s not a fake.
Not only did he give his condolences, but he also went to mention the root of the problem.. Colbert is pure class!
@@SmugSuspenders come on! He traveled in a manner he could afford and shared the blessing with his friends. Tragic accident nothing else. If traffic was more efficient there would be no need for helis. No entlitelment it was his lifestyle.
Kobe Bryant ‘s death is tragic and it was nice Colbert gave condolences but Stephen Colbert isn’t pure class basically all his jokes are making fun of the President of the United States. Actually his President Trump jokes are more disrespectful than trying to be funny.
@@SmugSuspenders so you don't have a car.... LMAO..... You must drink a lot of red bull.... Then obviously you don't know what you're talking about so it would be best if you STFU 😉 have a great day buddy
@Voodoo Plastic Arm but then again.. Watching is supporting.. So I'm sure Colbert still has the final laugh.. 😂
@Voodoo Plastic Arm Such an angry little fella
Really liked the approach he took with this tribute. It felt the most personal even though he never knew Kobe. He combined his relatablity with the plane crash with his practicality for a call to action and it was extremely powerful. Well spoken.
Pro tip: watch movies on KaldroStream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Darius Aarav definitely, I have been using KaldroStream for months myself :)
@Darius Aarav yea, I've been watching on KaldroStream for years myself =)
Even as a big Kobe fan growing up, I'm way more upset at the thought of his daughter never being able to reach her potential/achieve her goals than I am at losing Kobe. Kobe got to live as close to a full life as possible. Accidents happen. Losing him at 41 is way too soon. But his daughter and her teammates had their whole lives ahead of them and were just starting to figure out who they wanted to be.
I am the same way. I am most saddened by the death of 3 13 year old kids and them never getting to reach their potential, than the adults. I mourn for all of them but the kids death just seems so unfair. Having one or both parents die for all 3 girls makes it doubly sad. So much potential gone in a short time. That is the saddest part to me.
So true!
This is what’s tragic about this incident. The purists beings on this planet are kids. I followed Kobe since his early days and Losing him in this way is unthinkable. But the true tragedy and devastation is what the families of the victims are going through. As a Father, It’s terrifying to only think about such a loss, and this is what makes this tragedy unsettling.
Matt Lavan Kobe also had a whole life ahead of him.
Once again Stephen Colbert proves he's an absolute legend. I can't believe for a second I almost forgot how much he can relate to this, and he speaks so poignantly & effectively that you can't help but to stop and listen.
IMO this was the most perfect & beautiful response anyone (who didn't know them personally) could have given.
Jordan Murphy unlike fallon who talked about a beer run with fake tears
And he stressed on what is important..safety for all.
+Jordan Murphy ~ As soon as I heard the circumstances of this crash, I knew this was going to be a gut-punch for Colbert. He did an amazing job of making a hugely important point. Perhaps he can get some backing in Congress, maybe some more Congressional testimony might be in order. He's got clout, can use it for good. :O)
Yes s BOX IS NEEDED TO KNOWING KNOWLEDGE..😚💖❣️
@KnoxTheBox ~ Either a bad troll, or you need help. As for the old chicken/egg bit, it's no mystery: eggs were here long before any chicken existed on this ball of rock and water we like to call Earth. (I can't believe I wasted the time to read the whole thing.)
100% respect to Stephen mentioning his loss .. RIP
He mentioned this about his family many times .
respect more for reading all the names and acknowledging that there was much more lost than just one man.
@@FabledGentleman ???
@@FabledGentleman Pretty sure she was shown to have embellished to the point of lying about certain aspects of that. If anything, it seems like it was agreed rough sex, Kobe took it too far, she tried to stop him during, but he didn't stop. Then a lawyer got ahold of her and figured they could take a big slice out of whatever pie she could get, she made a bunch of claims that either couldn't be proven or were proven false, then Kobe paid his way out of the situation because it was cheaper than litigating it. But yeah, keep calling him a rapist without knowing what you're talking about. Lol.
@@FabledGentleman There's a reason why the criminal case was dropped and refiled as a civil suit. And why she refused to testify. And why she agreed to settle.
Stephen is someone who can truly relate to this kind of tragedy
We all can relate... sadly...
NoNameJustWords Yeah but Stephen lost his father and his two siblings in a plane crash... so he REALLY can relate.
@@grapejuicerry1982 Is it a competition? I had a stroke 5 weeks ago, I have had stage 5 chronic kidney disease since 2008, I have arthritis, Myoclonus, I have heart spasms and of other conditions, but I still think no matter what I suffer, no one should belittle someones own suffering because someone else has had it worse, we are all people who can relate to death, its not a competition. PS please forgive my errors talking is hard.
I feel what you're trying to say No Name. We have all had loss... I lost my dad in 2011 to a heart attack and it was rough as hell to get through. Life can hit you hard. But you gotta keep hanging in there. There are bigger things than ourselves that are worth fighting for and living for : )
@@NoNameJustWords you're certainly treating it like a competition...
complete silence from the audience. much respect RIP to everyone who lost everything
Jon Batiste is very articulate, I love to hear him speaking.
Devy Larasati yeah. I think he does real talk so much better than the jokes they make him do from time to time
He is perfect for that show, intelligent as well as a great band leader and musician.
I was just thinking this. He speaks incredibly well.
Why is it so notable? Because he’s black? Racist much?
Dustomatic, that was literally idiotic. You are the one to bring race into this.
"There is something on the other side of this grief."
As much as those words understandably might not help as much as they should to a grieving party, the fact that they're coming from Colbert is really powerful and inspiring.
I love that this was the direction Stephen went with it. He didn't know Kobe personally, never lived in LA, but he found the thing that he relates to most in the situation, the family he left behind, and even brought in recent stuff he learned to support it.
All that indicates such genuineness to me
@A R Great input. Real philosophical there Ghandi. Does this wisdom come naturally?
phosphorescent wave Have you been on the other side? It’s life. You have to live. It’s awful, but you do. Great interview recently with Colbert and Anderson Cooper about grief, worth a watch.
phosphorescent wave Death fucking sucks, can I say that here? It’s the 100% most horrible thing about life. And, the people that live have to eventually figure out how to go on. Losing a child has got to be the worst thing imaginable. Parents fear it every day, and people experience it all the time. I can barely talk about the idea, and yet people do it. That’s amazing to me. Honestly sounds like you’ve been through something, and I can’t wish you peace, I hear you, it’s not really the right thing to say. I do wish you all the best, whatever that means for you.
@@lcflngn that was such an amazing and moving interview. They were both so open and genuine with each other that it almost felt like we were watching a private conversation.
Those rare moments when Stephen makes me cry, rather than laugh. I love him even more for it. Ditto on recognition of the others who perished. Bless you, Stephen Colbert.
Agreed
JoAnn Walton as a victim of Rape 1 myself, I imagine she is probably feeling reflective. But I believe in forgiveness. I hope when I die I am not remembered for the worst of me. kobe was human. He was wonderful and terrible. But we do nothing but hurt those who mourn his loss by focusing on the worst of him.
@@joannwalton5364 Kobe raped someone??? I heard about an affair, but not rape. If he did I pray he made things right with the girl and with God. If he didn't, then you are condemning a man for something he didn't do.
I am about to say something that I have felt many times before, but have never felt so clearly as I have now.
Stephen Colbert, you are a good person.
When most others in media are at loss for words, Colbert shares loss, holds dignity to all, and opens opportunities to improve the future.
Stephen is so correct when he talks about "...a pain that will never go away..." It's so true. There is no timeline for grief.
Unfortunately, no. There really isn't. 🥺
I was lucky enough not to lose a loved one until the age of 26. Now in my 40s the losses are becoming more frequently and although it's true that over time the pain gets better it will never fully go away.
I'd say there is a 'timeline', there just is no end.
Because grief evolves and changes over time. There are dark days, there are brighter days. Sometimes it's easier, sometimes it's heavy. Sometimes there is joyful memories, sometimes there is just emptiness.
This is what Stephen means by "there is something on the other side of this grief" You're not stuck in this, life does go on. Sure: the grief will go along with it. But it's still a life worth living.

My grandmother died unexpectedly in 1988 four days before her 80th birthday, and I still miss her to this day. I loved both of my father’s parents so very, very much.
@@maryrosekent8223 : Bless you. xox
Stephen's talk is touching and naming of all the lost was a considerate touch.
Stephen and Jon addressed this beautifully and perfectly, and with such humanity, eloquence and purpose.
They are two of the greats of late night television,
and for good reason, well illustrated here.
Richard Hsiung the only person I’ve seen do that.. I’ll never forget that and I like him a lot more now
He's learning from our legend... John wick
He's paid to lie
@@franksmith7419 about how it's sad that these people died? About how he lost his Dad and brother in a plane crash? Or about how helicopters should have improved technology?
Stephen Colbert is a class act. Jon Batiste, as well. Thank you for mentioning the names of all lost in the crash. Talking about your personal loss was brave and responsible in a way too few people are right now.
Shelly Goldstein amen to this
Shelly Goldstein
Amen is right!!!!
Two wonderful, empathetic people having a discussion about tragedy. This is how we heal. Thank you both.
He turned what I thought would be just a random 'taking about the latest fact' moment into a very powerful statement on an issue not many knew about. wow.
I'm Italian and it was a sad day here too. Kobe was raised in Italy, loved as a brother and a beacon for so many here.
@Mike Nunyabizness Ooof using the TheOutline as a source. Bold move. Basicaly a say anything you want EDITORIAL website. No ethics required.
Mike Nunyabizness Nothing better to do, eh?
@Mike Nunyabizness Could of use a more legitimate source, regardless if it was some other Convitcted Crime. Those can be lied about and exploited also. You still screwed up.
@Mike Nunyabizness You want to know the irony. I realy like Joshua Topolsky
who cofounded Engadget & The Verge. But him delving into Political Editorial was way out of his depth and just lost control. It's owned by Bustle now, which ummm is gossip tabloid group.
Mike Nunyabizness he’s not an admitted rapist - he fought vehemently against the charges. No one was there except him and the young woman. No one but those 2 people know what happened that night. I’m not saying it didn’t happen, I’m just saying you have no clue what happened either yet you get on here acting like you know facts but really you just want to bring everyone down with your nonsense
This reminds me of that episode;
Stephen: "What do you think happens when we die, Keanu Reeves?"
Keanu: "I know that the ones who love us will miss us."
💔😢
Awesome analysis :') That's really all we know.
Yes!! I saw that episode! And, that was very deep. So human and profound. I love to see intelligent, kind, and meaningful interviews!
Aww yes. So real so awesome. The look on Stephens face after keanu said that... we were all blessed from the great keanu lol!
@KnoxTheBox Stop spamming, you amazingly disturbed person
eva hamdiah … NICE ! at the risk of tangential "logic," … evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein talks about grieving as something that at least several different species have apparently "evolved" (or "learned") independently … he argues it serves to help heal the "gaps" created by the loss … which is part of why, long later, a new "gap" (or "void" which the loved one used to bridge) can be discovered and sorrow, anew, ensues.
Stephen's genuine empathy for all the victims, not just Kobe and Gianna Bryant, and his ability to be real and emotional and honest about an obviously painful subject encapsulates why I love and respect him so much.
Jon did a good job of speaking about the fragility and fugacity of life. Deaths like these always remind me that no day is every promised and that every day is a gift. I hope all the souls aboard are resting in peace.
You two are class acts. Thank you, Stephen and Jon.
He just did what we always fail to do: Push for something to be improved on so at least *something* can get better. Thank you, Stephen
Oh Stephen so moving. Measured, calm, totally insightful, and so caring of you to share your great grief on this saddest of days for all the families you took the time to mention and remember.
Mary-Anne Bourke beautifully said
Two very thoughtful, compassionate and caring gentlemen.
He talked about the tragedy that is the most difficult thing to talk about for him, to the support the idea of putting a black box in helicopters. A great use of his voice to possibly make this world better.
Yay. Put a black box in the helicopters to see what's gone wrong after people have died, instead of acknowledging the danger and not put kids in deadly vehicles unnecessarily altogether.
He named EVERYONE that was lost along with Kobe even tho he didn’t know them or Kobe this is truly heartfelt. Thank you Stephen ❤️
I didn't know the he'd lost his father and two brothers in a crash. That's heartbreaking. My heart is breaking for the people who are mourning this loss of Kobe, his daughter and the others who died in this crash. I'm not a sports fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I am a child, a mother, a grandmother, a niece, an aunt and most of all a human being. I have never lost a child, but I have lost my dad, my husband, my great niece, my favorite nephew that was more like a son and a slew of other family and friends. The only pain I can't feel for these people is the loss of a child. I can't knew what Kobe's wife is feeling having lost her daughter or what the other parents are feeling and I'm thankful for that. I cried when I learned that they had just had another child in June. That baby girl will never have a chance to know the great man that was her father. That's beyond sad because she truly had a great, loving father. Idk if these other people had children or not because I can't deal with that much sadness so I'm avoiding knowing those things. Please continue to pray for these people in whatever way you pray and if your coming m get the chance please show them some love and support. Oh just show whoever you're around some extra love and support. You never know when that chance will be gone.
His dad and two brothers died on a major airplane crash "Eastern Air Lines Flight 212"
His father's flight crashed because the pilots were too busy chatting to notice that they were flying below the minimum descent altitude. Hence the Sterile Cockpit rule as what Stephen said, whereby no unnecessary conversations are allowed in the cockpit during takeoff, landing, and flying below 10,000 feet.
Thank you for acknowledging all of the victims.
First off it annoys the hell out of me when I know that without Kobe and Gigi being on that helicopter you and everyone else would have not blinked an eye about a plane crash in Calabasas, all y'all with this fake outrage is getting on my last nerve, be honest your just jealous and angry because a black man is getting worldwide love, and he earned it, all because the news outlets are focusing on him because he was ONE of the greatest athletes of this generation, does not mean that they are disrespecting those other victims so please have a large glass of stfu cause we know why your pretending to care about the other victims it's because you hate for a black man to get the amount of attention he was getting, of course the media is going to speak in-depth about Kobe Bryant because he is famous, all of the news outlets have shown the other victims respect you just refuse to see it
"This all reminds you of how much of this life is just... vapour."
What a quote
Robin Stone John was paraphrasing a verse from the Bible, I think: “whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” (James 4:14)
Bible verse
@@oarsteed Sorry I'm German so I don't know the Bible in English
Well, you can make it a bit less "vaporish" by not exposing your kids to obvious dangers.
Nobody likes Kobe
Colbert has been a huge media persona for really long time and yet, still manages to be undeniably honest, intimate and personal, when needed. All the while, doing it in such an artificial environment as big TV studio, in front of cameras and an audience. It shows how strong and un-corruptible is his character. Always manages to amaze me and reaffirm my often shaken faith in humanity...
“Why Combine their misery, with mystery” damn Colbert that was deep
Let me take the opportunity to remedy the general lack of praise given to the humanity that literally drips from Jon’s pores - not only a wonderful musical artist, but in every utterance on this show and other places to be found, a truly great human being.
And as far as TV hosts goes, well AFAIC, Stephen’s heartfelt speech here is the perfect example of why he’s head and shoulders above the rest.
RIP Kobe. Side note: somber Jon Baptiste sounds like a completely different person
Matt Yeow , absolutely true...❤️
Matt Yeow I thought the same😞
yup...was listening with my phone in the pocket and I was like, 'who's this?'
His music is a true expression of the depth of his heart. He is a beautiful compliment to Colbert's comic relief.
Genta Thanks. Fixed it.
This is one of the things I love about Stephen and also one of the things I loved about Jon Stewart when he was on The Daily Show. As funny and goofy as Stephen usually is, he's so thoughtful and moving with his words when he's serious like that. What Jon Batiste said was really beautiful as well.
Wow that was powerful. I didn't know that about Stephen's family.
I had only noticed that he mentions his mom, and not his father. Had no idea it was so incredibly tragic.
He did a wonderful interview with Anderson Cooper and talked about it, and the aftermath of grief, ua-cam.com/video/YB46h1koicQ/v-deo.html.
But I didn't know it happened on Sept. 11 (1974).
@@mwater_moon2865 I winced when I realized on was on a September 11th. This sounds mean, but I don't even want to imagine how he reacted to 9/11.
@@sherylsmallwood-valdivia5375 oh gosh.
He always knows what to say in times of tragedy. He’s not only a great comedian, but you can tell he’s a great human being too. The man is a class act. ❤️
the most funniest persons, are also the most depressed ones. never forget, robin williams
This was heartfelt and touching. Good job Stephen
Compassion (kindness, empathy, mercy, goodwill) flows from these two.
As a retired Military member, who lost my greatest mentor - Command Sergeant Major Cornell Gilmore, who was one of six soldiers killed when the Black Hawk helicopter they were flying in was struck by enemy fire and crashed near Tikrit on November 7, 2003...and as an ex-employee for FAA emergency ops...I completely appreciate what Stephen was saying.
Also, I know of the fragility of this helicopter - as I was also in a Black Hawk in a very foggy, icy cold January day, in Kosovo ...which before a returning take-off, I had this extreme eerily feeling that CSM Gilmore, was telling me not to allow lift-off...I'm glad I listened and grounded that travel.
I lost my brother in a car accident in 2018. There is no explanation of why. I hear these words and they are meaningful. "Why compound their misery with mystery". Yes, I empathize. 💗
My sister died in a car crash, too. 2006, 2007, I don't really know. What I do know is that her death is much more common than a helicopter crash, but never made late night television. I feel bad for them, but just as much. Just.
You know, I was really wishing that all people who died in this crash be remembered - exception of none. But thanks to Stephen. You named every single one. This is a great show of respect to their existence and sad demise. I just imagine how lifted their family members should feel if they could get to watch this clip - a show that their lives count and that we share in their sorrow and grief too. Thanks #StephenColbert and #JonBatiste for this reflection.
Did you see Christina Mausers husband speak on the today show?
Hearing the other families talk is just as important.
Agreed
Can I be a giant asshole for a moment? Ten people per DAY die in auto deaths... in California alone. Only in California, out of the whole world, every day. When he read the other names I thought of the reason why: so people don’t complain online about “the other people!” Yes it IS tragic (and that’s why I’m aware I’m being insensitive)... but I have as much expectation that he names all the passengers & pilot as I do he names the 10 California drivers killed yesterday and the ten that will be killed tomorrow. Finally, the black box ask only makes sense in the context of it having affected him personally. The elites who burn the fuel and cash to ride in helicopters are important, but perhaps asking the NHTSA for more stringent safety standards could save more people for the same cost. Speculation. Okay, thanks for letting me be rude everybody. Respect Colbert, RIP all those we lost.
@@UserCommenter Yes, I made some similar comments in anger earlier, but they weren't well received..... 😅 I guess this is not the time for logic or objectivity. To advocate a "black box" to see what's gone wrong after children have been killed feels like a very weak "solution".
Rest in Peace, especially the children on board ❤️
PutinWithAnimals Well children or not, it’s advocating for a solution to help only the very absolute wealthiest of kids. There’s nothing wrong with that. And it’s only natural to think about solutions to the problems in front of us. Yet I still can’t help but think about a given dollar doing so much more good trying to stop the annual holocaust - six million children dying of preventable causes, every single year. Thanks for the reply.
“These people are now in misery, why com-bound their misery with mystery?” This man really has a way with words. God bless him.
"The pain will never go away" So true! 💜🦋
I have never heard of this side of Colbert
Appreciate he and John’s thoughts so much
He broke character on the Colbert Report (I think it was the only time) when his mother passed. He spoke just as eloquently then. It's worth watching, but I don't know if it's on UA-cam.
You should look up the interview he did with Joe Biden where the two of them discuss their grief from their various tragedies and how they coped and lived with their pain. I don't know your thoughts or feelings towards Biden, but here he's just a father and husband talking about how he dealt with the loss of his children and wife. It's a wonderful conversation. It was right after Colbert started his Late Show gig, so it was the first time on camera where he spoke outside of his character for a substantial time.
+StewNWT ~ I'd also add to these recommendations a wonderful interview Colbert did w/Anderson Cooper a few months back. It was nearly an hour, and it was thoughtful and insightful and deep. Not sure there's an upload here on YT, the one posted right after it aired had been zapped. Perhaps on CNN's site?
Damn, Stephen. You are the ONLY host to read off every single name of the victims live and post in the names in the description. All the other hosts have said 'our hearts go out to all those affected". But you are the only one to list them off by name. I didn't think I could love you more than I already do, but you proved me wrong. Your schedule means you are one of the later ones to report on this tragedy, but when you do, you go all out. I have so much love and respect for you right now for doing so.
*EDIT 2* Okay, so Kimmel mentioned it too. Sorry I missed a few seconds from a 40 minute long video. It was an understandable oversight.
*EDIT* Because people are attacking me, I will respond. I said, "Colbert is the only host I've watched to list off the other victims BY NAME." As in, not just "our hearts go out to all those affected" but actually naming names. I watched Kimmel, Fallon, and Conan. None of them mentioned the victims by name. Now others have said "Kimmel did a 40 minute video, Colbert only did 7 minutes, that's not all out." Missing the point yet again. I meant he went all out in listing the names of all the victims, not the length of the episode. Please read my entire comment before you attack me.
Wrong. Jimmy Kimmel did in his monologue as well
Sebastian Nemeth-Ramirez yes well said
Kimmel listed the victims' names, too. And while you credit Colbert for going "all out" in devoting a whopping 7 minutes to Kobe, Kimmel devoted his entire show Monday night to remembering Kobe since the NBA legend was on his show 15 times since 2007. (Kimmel also spent Tuesday's show discussing Kobe with guest Magic Johnson.)

Black boxes for helicopters!!
Big Wig still Stephen is a class act. Period.
OMG, didn't know Stephen lost his father in a plane crash, as a boy, that's devastating! Such a nice share for those in bereavement during this sad season.
his father and two of his brothers...
@@oodjee Thanks, I as a fan never knew of Stephen's family tragedy, he speaks fondly of his family all the time not a hint of past losses or pain. New respect for him and his strength to carry on and continue to make us lol for such a long time.
I love that Stephen talks about all of the victims and not just Kobe.
Jon’s words are the best 😓❤️
Hearing Stephen talk about his dad and brothers like this gets me emotional, anyone who watches Colbert religiously like me knows about it and knows maybe only a little into how much of his life was affected by it as it happened at such an early age and for him to relate to this tragedy and try to be genuinely CONSTRUCTIVE and to try and help like this is beautiful and unlike any other response ive seen so far
“Vapor” comment -Reminds one of Shakespeare ‘s The Tempest :” We are such stuff that dreams are made of,and rounded with a sleep.”
The "vapor" statement is a quote from the Bible... so understandable that it sounds a bit Shakespeare-esque
Reminds me of James 14:4 too
4:14*

Kobe’s not gone.. He’s just one step ahead of everyone, like always.
- Mind Set
Wow. I mean...just wow. Thank you for this comment.
One stop ahead to dying? Doesn't make sense
This really should go viral - we DO need black box recorders on helicopters! Before we lose another Kobe Bryant, another anyone else, to a potentially preventable problem!
I shared it on twitter just for that reason.
I agree.
@jameshisself Not sure where you got that, but private aircraft I have flown had black boxes. I was told it was an FAA requirement.
I hope this goes viral, it was very moving.
I just Tweeted out the link & how it's beyond belief to me there's no Black Boxes in Helicopters. This needs to change & now!!
My grandmother was Kobe's biggest fan. She even named her bird after him, like me she always thought he was larger than life. Jon said it best, life is like a vapor we have to take the time to enjoy it while we can. And not focus on the negativity of the past,
@Mike Nunyabizness what? Why should I care about something that didn't happen 17 years ago? Bring up the low point of a person's past is useless
He was Larger Than Life... Like Jon said.. the immortals go too
I wondered, given that I knew about the tragedy in Stephen's past with his Dad and brothers, if he would address this. Very well done, as always.
In all my years (I'm 46) of watching UA-cam videos, this is the FIRST time I've given a rating (wish I could do 2 thumbs UP) and posted a comment. This made me shed yet another tear due to this tragic event. Thank you Stephen!!!!!!
I think when he retires he'll be mentioned in the same company as Carson and Letterman. He really is a tremendous broadcaster. Conan's the only other current one who has the same level of depth and intelligence to rival Colbert.
colbert on conan's podcast was one of my favorite listens ever.
Same company as Carson, Letterman, Conan and Stewart...
No. No he won’t be. That is incorrect.
Conan isn’t a propagandist like every other host so he’s my favorite. I like Colbert when he’s not being a shill.
@@TheRockkickass Yes he will!!!
Watching again literally two years later just to listen to gracefully he worded this sad but beautiful message to The Bryant’s and the other families affected by this tragedy.
How very lucky and fortunate we are to have the Stephen and Jon show. I'm a relatively new convert, and I've past the half century mark so I do have lots to compare them to, but they consistently blow me away, mostly with their loving, compassionate common sense. I don't know that we've ever had anything like this show before, in terms of it's willingness to go to these beautiful emotional depths, consistently. We need authenticity in this world, to show us it actually matters. And dignity, integrity. And good for these folks, they give it. They bare their souls, they give their all, and even when skewering someone there's an air of common sense and compassion, which is really what we need more than anything. Couldn't ask for better role models, on top of top shelf entertainers!
That’s exactly what needed to be said. Nothing more, nothing less. Simply great.
My deepest condolences to the families and friends of Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Christina Mauser, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester and Ara Zobayan 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thank-you for your generosity of spirit. Every life matters 💚🕊️✨
@@debracottrill7989 You are welcome 💓BIG CYBER HUG from Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada💓
Well said Stephen. The mourning never goes away but the mystery of what happened makes it even worse.
Classy when it’s time to laugh. Classy when it’s time to be serious.
Love from Canada.
Ive never heard jon baptiste talk. Damn he's an amazing speaker
He's a true leader and these are times we need TRUE leaders.
I've only heard him scream
Thank you, Stephen Colbert, for raising awareness on such an important matter that I was truly ignorant of. May the hearts of all those who have suffered a tragic loss, find comfort and strength in your words and prayers. Amen.
Huge eloge to Stephen Colbert for sharing about his own similar experiences & remembering in his own way as these families going through now & forever...Thank you for your Beautiful speech
Couldn’t wait to listen to Colbert, to hear what he had to say, he always has that word that will comfort you... as an LA girl, I feel the pain for the loss of Kobe and all the people with him... it’s a shame you did never meet him Stephen, I’m absolutely sure you guys would’ve had a great time... 💔💔💔
Unequivocally spoken from the heart with considerations intended for everyone's familys safety
Hehe, ufell four it. Colbert never even met the guy. If Trump died you'd see the REAL Colbert. Grow up, he's an actor.
Most people can only identify Kobe and maybe her daughter in this incident. However, though it is a good gesture to name other people lost in this tragedy, can we keep the same energy when it comes to any and all tragedies that happen around the world where only American lives lost are the only ones identified. Especially plane crushes or terror incidences.
You know... it's definitely a strange time when the leaders that people look up to are not the President, but some late night talk show hosts - to give them more comfort/guidance through this torrid time. #RestInPeaceAllOnBoard
If same thing happened to Trump, people will probably react like "Oh shit happens. Lets move on". Some will probably pretend they are sad but later on secretly celebrate.
People have looked up to presidents? Why?

This changed my mind about Stephen Cobert because he named everyone in the accident. Very respectful of him. Well done sir.
A somber but eloquent acknowledgment of Kobe, the other passengers and a plea for improvement in these types of tragedies.
Listening to him.......gave me goosebumps and I had tears
Hugs to you Stephen Colbert!
Yes. Very important to acknowledge ALL victims.
Man, I just keep tearing up with each new testimonial and commentary. I'm just so sad... RIP to Kobe, his daughter, and all the occupants on the helicopter. Hug the ones you love today...
Thank you Stephen. That is why I love to watch you. Not only for your humor, but your honesty and love for humanity. You called out everyone that lost their lives in that crash and that is what had made this segment even more special. God bless everyone who has lost a family or friend, but even so may God give peace to all that is involved. We need to love our friends and family because we never know when they are no longer going to be with us.
Stephen Colbert is truly intelligent. His Empathy towards the victims is totally genuine. I salute you, Stephen Colbert #RIPKobe
That second where he pauses, you see the devastated hurt boy from 1974. Wow. He allowed all of us to see that.
@DudeSwedish No, because it was a driver's error that made Paul Walker crash, that porsche wasn't every day kia car
*Oh, can I relate.* It´s simply *unconceivable* to lose your closest loved ones to a sudden plane-, helicopter- or car crash.
I went through such tragedies TWICE.
*RIP* my beautiful Baby girl AND a few years later …. my way too young husband.
These pains of sudden losses will never fade.
*Stephen and Jon, thank you. Your words are full of compassion, understanding and dignity*
(Indeed, unfortunately only those who also went through such disasters can REALLY relate!)
Stephen I hope you can somehow get to speak with the families. They need someone to talk to like you...right now! I think you could bring a bit of peace to them having had a similar situation happen to you. Your understanding is much greater than the average citizen on this.💜
This video is the first place ANYWHERE that I’ve seen or heard any of the victims names other than Kobe & Gianna. Big props to Stephen for that.
True words and feelings from a man who lost his loved ones in a plane crash. Respect 💜
You just never know what pain and grief people have gone through. How touching what Stephen said. In telling about his pain, the pain of others and the pain of the family’s left behind in the tragic accident that took not just Kobe and his daughter but the seven others on the flight. Thank you Stephen for sharing and caring.
Thank you Stephen for disclosing your own loss and agony and for using your position to encourage a change to create better helicopter safety. I too lost my father in a plane accident, happened to be a small Navy plane on July 7 1953. All the records are gone, but it did help to know that a faulty left tail flap mechanism caused the plane's explosion in the air. there were others in the plane who also lost their lives. I was just 8 mos old at the time; I know it changed my mother forever. It is, as you described, agony. I'm sorry for Kobe, his daughter, and thanks for reading out all the names of everyone who died on that helicopter. It matters.
Damn, I'm over here shedding grown man tears for my boy.... R.I.P.
It still doesn't feel real, it just feels so wrong that he's not here anymore RIP Kobe
yes kobe is one of those seemingly immortal figures it just doesnt make sense to me this has happened
It really doesn't. Just thinking, saying or seeing that Kobe has died still doesn't seem real. He's my generation's Michael Jordan. Everyone wanted to be like him and be as good as he was.
well maybe because it could be his fault,it was no weather to fly yet they still did it,and in times like this it happens when the pilots are forced to do it because they are just sinple employe and they could lose their job
I know right, it still feels like a dream. Everytime I see a post about it on social media or the news, it makes me cry. It's such a tragedy. Rip to all the families on that 🚁. May God give their loved ones strength at this time.
This has to be one of the best reactions to this tragedy
The most constructive homage to Kobe that I saw from late night hosts. RIP Kobe.
That was powerful and beautiful. Stephen Colbert really knows how to connect with people.
Colbert knows how to deliver sentiment with power. this along with the D-Day segment where Colbert reads a letter from his uncle, they cut deep, but in best way.
4:37 When he said 9/11 I got goosebumps. I know it was in 74 but damn that's crazy ! RIP to everybody 🥺
I just posted the same thing. That's crazy 😬😬
😳...wow
Everyday tell you loved ones that you love them and never sweat the small things because today is not promised.
Your love is bigger than a disagreement!
Thank you Stephen for your thoughtfulness in remembering them all!
stephen was the only one out of the talk hosts that suggests a solution
That's because he's the only one who has faced this tragedy in the past. He can relate to it. Now is not the time to compare ourselves to others, but to embrace the fact that we're all deeply touched and affected by the loss of the 9 passengers.

@@SmugSuspenders I lived in Los Angeles for 8 years- I would have taken a chopper over my 40 mile each way commute any day www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/state-by-state
PutinWithAnimals That’s like asking me to avoid toll roads where the speed limits are 75-85 mph (I live in Texas!) because that mode of transportation is more lethal than normal highways.
It’s more convenient, way less crowded & I have the means to afford it. I’m sure Kobe felt the same way about his helicopter. 🤷🏻♀️
@@xiomara5147 Yeah, sure, as long as you acknowledge the risks. And don't go all "How could this happen??" everytime an accident happens. I guess it's human to block out risks and forget, but it doesn't reallt make anything better. And it's exactly that sentiment that made this happen, "Sure, it's a risk to me and my children, but it's convenient and I am wealthy". I'm ok with that, as long as you accept the risks and take responsibility for it.
