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!"
Colbert's such a great storyteller
You should listen to Joey "Coco" Diaz, he's one of the best story tellers
Yep, and that was a pretty good one.
Joey Diaz is full of shit
And Artie Lange.
Alberto Truth
He seems like it but wealth and power corrupts.
That was a beautiful story!
Indeed it was... indeed it was
+Logica_ Mente indeed it was... Indeed it was indeed it was indeed it was inme are dicks
bruhh 👏👏👏👏👏👏 that was awsome
mugdays penis
Can't we just have a whole episode of Q&A's to Stephen Colbert?
Flick well he does it everytime time before. The show
That answer is better than the original question. LOVE HIM.
This is why I like him. Most people would instantly go to a story that involves someone else's bad behavior, or some sort of unfortunate Rube Goldberg machine of circumstances...something bad. But instead Colbert tells this great story that makes everyone feel a little better about the world.
That was so touching. I don't know Stephen directly, but I am lucky enough to know four folks who have known him since childhood. This is the real thing.
"I know your mom!"
For some reason that phrase was hilarious to me in that context.
same.
The guy said they double dated. Didn't say which girl they dated :D
I like the way you think
@@OptimusWombat that's kinda the direction I was thinking :-D
I love that he chose to spin this question in that direction. Could've easily been about some drooling weirdo, instead it's a really touching story.
Also a drooling weirdo is a weekly occurrence in America
I was expecting to laugh but I cried instead.
Jade Eliot Same. :')
Me, too! That was so beautiful and touching.
Yeah this hit me fast and hard too, I wasn’t expecting to cry like that. Beautiful story.
the way he doesn't even change his inflection or pause when saying "my dad died when I was quite young" and just continues, that really hit me
I mean Stephen was 10 when is dad and two of his brothers were killed but your right it is interesting
People's parents die all the time. He doesnr have to get all choked up everytime he mentions it. But you can tell he was really close to his dad cause of his enthusiasm. Plus, knowing how his dad died makes this story sad.
I legit wanna go and see the 5 people who disliked this video. Just like, see who they are what they look like how many swastikas they own. stuff like that
this nigga 😂😂😂
Some people call legend of Zelda racist because it had a manji shaped dungeon. Now that's ignorant
+Denny Supandi you ask "where is the actual knowledge?" as if the Nazis never used the Swastika and people who think that are idiots. The fact that the Swastika was used before the Nazis isn't exactly common knowledge is parts of the world that aren't majority Hindu and Buddhist. I've known the origin of the Swastika for a while since I've studied WWII but I've never once expected a person to know that. And when before I tell them I'm never like "Oh my, you DONT know that the Swastika wasn't originally a Nazi symbol?! What a fool!" Or anything like that
+CODY BAUER Thank you, Good Samaritan, for ensuring the continued representation of the American people as a myopic, ignorant, and uneducated lot. What ever would we do without ignorance apologists such as yourself, courageously vindicating the moronic?
Denny Supandi Swastikas also belong to fucking Nazis so... (not saying you are a Nazi though)
It was a bit sad to hear this story knowing that his dad died tragically in a plane crash when Stephen was 10. At least he got to meet someone who remembered him from a time he never knew or was exposed to.
Did he die in a plane crash? Thought it was a car crash along with 2 of Stephen's brothers.
***** It was with his two brothers, but it was an Eastern Airlines plane crash in 1974, not a car crash. All very sad. RIP to all three of them.
Jason Barnes Wow that's heartbreaking!
Super sad.. :( His brothers, too.
@Jason. Then his mother had to carry on!--a young widow now raising 8 children on her own. Think how much she probably just wanted to give up. “I can’t do this on my own!”--Her life’s soul mate and two sons she had carried, delivered and brought up...were..gone! Stephen suffered heartbreak at an age where none of it made ANY sense. But his mother provided the BEST role model he could ever have--a mom who brought him up to be a GOOD MAN, a responsible man. Wonderful job Mrs. Colbert! Here’s a man who respects all women. When he was kissed by Helen Mirren the shock was palpable (He couldn’t move!) and there was no acting on his part. There is so much hatred these days-misogyny, sexism, racism, anti-semitism--you see it EVERY minute on TV news shows, talk radio....but never on Colbert’s show or other intelligent show hosts (Kimmel, Conan, Seth Myers!) They LOVE their wives,
Colbert loathes Trump because Trump USES people, especially women. He’s cruel, demeaning, has affairs splashed across tabloids--and was his own PR man (“John Barron!) calling in tawdry stories while cheating on both his first and second wives. “Best Sex Ever!” screams a headline from a NY tabloid. He was a regular caller on the Howard Stern show (not a fan--just have heard clips) where he spoke CONTINUOUSLY about “T&A!” Trump even AGREED with Stern that his daughter Ivanka was a sexy T&A fox. He'd “date” her...if he wasn’t married..or her dad!” Horrifically gross Trump debases all women with his smug sense of superiority. I think that is the main thing that makes Colbert hate Trump...Trump’s debasing all women--including the women in his life!
While Colbert seems a little in awe of all women and TRULY respects them. I so love this man!
That's actually a touching lil story. Dicks out for Harambe.
You show that the internet can still have empathy in the deepest parts of the memescape
wat.
+jbenvenga You got me past 20 likes on a comment for the first time in my life. YOU DA REAL MVP!
i have a huge crush on him
and i'm 21
I have a crush of Tina Fey and I'm 23 (but she's 46).
same but I'm 19 :|
You're talking, I have a crush on him and I'm straight.
Add Oliver and Noah in the mix, and thats me !
MeryLand
Ditto. And I'm 52! Lol
can anyone tell this man has a background in improv?
look at those miming abilities
He did second city for a long time
Tyler Albizo yeah I know that's why I said that :)
he really is very talented with improve. I love when he puts away fake props, like clicking a fake pen when he's done or putting a fake phone back in his pocket...
Yeah, he has appeared in the improv game show Whose Line Is It Anyway. You can look that up on UA-cam. There was even a game where Stephen has to improvise some fake German, and it was really cool.
He is the expert at pantomiming. when ever you spawn an invisible object during performance it doesnt just disappear so you have to pretend to get rid of it.
that story is incredible 😳 happy for Stephen
Awwww that was sweet. It must have been so hard for Stephen to lose his father when he was so little, but this nice man gave him a small piece of his dad to keep.
I suddenly felt so sad how he just slipped in that he lost his dad like it wasn't a big deal. I know why he did it, but oh my god.
I love these off air segments!
aww that's such a cute story :')
I'm sure Stephen's dad would be so proud of him ♡
I love his show way more than Kimmel or Fallon, he just seems more authentic.
Agreed. He can get very deep and draw everyone into his story telling
@Nick Now that we are more than 4 months into the Trump presidency (Oh gawd, it’s STILL hard to write that!) Colbert has become the #1 ranked late night comedy show OVER Jimmy Fallon. Fallon may be a great impersonator but he isn’t NEARLY as intelligent or real (as you say “authentic”) as Colbert or Seth Myers. Myers is CRUSHING it with the segment “A Closer Look.”
In September of 2016, close to the election for POTUS, Fallon brought Trump on his show. Instead of really trying to get Trump to answer a difficult or incisive question, Fallon threw a couple of softballs, THEN asked Trump if he could do something he’s “always wanted to do.” Muss up Trump’s...uhh hair. And he did! They didn’t even put a camera on the African-American house band Roots and leader QuestLove (Ahmir Khalib Thompson) as Trump has a history of racial discrimination in his housing developments and hatred and dissing of Barack Obama for not being “American.” (Trump was an avowed birther who insisted that Obama was not born in the US.), taking out a full page ad wanting the Central Park Jogger’s “rapists” all teenagers of color to be sentenced to death-so bring back the death penalty. The five were finally cleared of all crimes and released from prison..yet Trump CONTINUED to call them thugs, criminals, and rapists.
Fallon grinned that stupid grin of his and mussed up “Donald’s hair.” At a time when the rest of the media was giving Trump’s history of anti-immigration (even though he uses guest worker visas for construction) misogyny (grabbing pussies) and racism.
Fallon was ripped for enabling this misogynistic racist liar. He will NEVER come back from that idiotic moment.
POST MORE BEHIND THE SCENES. I love when late night shows do that, especially with Stephen because he seems like such an authentic and funny guy.
RIP Stephen's dad. he must be so proud of him now.
Divine Intervention if I ever heard it, God bless you Stephen.
When I am a bit down and people are too much I re-watch this clip and picture a young Colbert, then a new father and new at the Daily Show (I read a lot about his life and career and his mention of Craig Kilborn frames it, time wise), having this moment of connection and clarity with a complete stranger who gifts him memories of his father. And Stephen's mother was still alive, then, so he got to tell her.
Of course that page is up on the wall of his office; it's not only a memento of his father but a reminder that each of us, who can be mean and small-minded, can do gratuitous acts of kindness, when we want.
That is a great/crazy story.
I've had some random encounters (sometimes eerie) that reminds me how connected we all really are and breathes life into the sayings "it's a small world", "we've come full circle", or "this happened for a reason". Lovely story Stephen.
A similar thing happened to my aunt when she went to Northern Ireland in the '90s (but with my great grandpa instead). He'd left Ireland with his wife in 1921 'cause they lived right on the partition. Anyway, she'd stopped into a pub in a nearby town and she got to chatting with a local guy (oldest man in town), she mentioned his name and he knew all about my great grandpa. She was pretty pleased. He told her a few stories that really made her day.
"I liked the cut of his jib". Thats a saying that isnt said enough
He says it often
Well Rebecca as you can see I LIVE on a sailboat and don’t even use this semi-nautical term. Folks don’t cross oceans these days in large schooners and very few of us even sail a sloop much less a schooner! VERY few know which sail is even the jib!
Rebecca Borochov "Promote that man!"
Coming in, I thought it was going to be something about a grown man pooping on the subway or something. this is good, too.
Awesome stuff. Need more videos like this
This is a nice story on many levels. Others have commented on the obvious ones, but for me, it’s a nice little reminder that sometimes, it’s nice to strike up a conversation with folks.
i thought this story was gonna take another turn, hence "i knew your mother lol" but what a lovely ending ♡
How can that get a dislike?
I expected something funny, sarcastic and maybe slightly crass. Instead, I got something that was authentic and honestly quite touching.
Damned! This story found a soft spot I did not know I have. Thanks Stephen.
life is beautiful
WOW, I was Not expecting that 😭😭😭
Wow, that's tear dropping.
Aww that's sweet.
Such a sweet story
"My dad died when i was real young"
Don't try and talk over that like we didnt hear it Stephen...... :(
i think theres a designated dislikers on youtube and their job is to dislike stuff no matter what. why dislike this?
Few Probably clicked wrong button resulting in accidental dislikes
I'm pretty sure you can toggle-click and remove a dis, if it was a mistake.
That's actually close to what's happening.
There are bots that "like" videos to inflate their ratings, which increases the number of real humans who are shown the videos, and increases the chances of those videos actually getting popular. UA-cam tries to detect those bots and ignore their likes, but it's a constant arms race between the bots becoming more similar to human behavior, and UA-cam getting better at detecting their new behavior. One of the things the Like Bots do to seem more human is to sometimes Dislike random videos. So all videos, especially all popular videos, end up with a random scattering of dislikes from bots that UA-cam hasn't detected yet.
that's awesome, great story Stephen. thanks for sharing.
MORE audience interactions! I demand them!
Now that's pretty cool
The description said a few questions. Could you upload the entire Q&A segment from next time? Thanks!
That is the craziest nicest thing ever.
Stephen just seems have perfect timing throughout life
I tuned into this because he just shared a bit of this on Its A Late Show during quarantine and someone put in the link for me. It was sweet in the smallest telling and even sweeter here.
Expected crazy outrageous scenario, got wholesome heartwarming story instead
Thats a beautiful touching story.
That is the sweetest thing! They say there's no such thing as fate, but come on! That's almost a miracle!
That's friggin cool, and that old man is awesome.
I didn’t expect that.
This weird feeling of love for Stephen came over me. So I’m going back outside to weld steel in anger again and never talk about this again.
It's a small world after all. Awwww ❤️
I remember that story... it was aired sometime 1997... that made the story golden.
Wow! How amazing! What a great story! Holy Cross is near where I live.
Welp. I’m crying. I live in a state of old people making dreams come true. #AZ
Why did that give me chills.
I come back to this video every once in a while and cry every time
Colbert is the coolest. What a crazy story!
Keep 'em coming!!
He was there because he wanted to meet you. Imagine how smart and sny you can be and now imagine how much smarter you'll be when you're his age. A great gesture and a great man, both of you
Very touching!
That made me cry. Happy tears.
This is so heartwarming aw
It's a really good story, and really cool of him to share...
And people who dislike it should be ashamed, I mean if u don't like it, it's fine,
But if someone getting a piece of their parents memory long after they are gone doesn't make u happy, no way in any universe can it make u hate it as well to actually dislike it....
I would genuinely like to meet and know who are such people and what to they want with the world
that's both sweet and cool at the same time.
What a story so touching
Fantastic story.
Wonderful story!
we need more of this style vids plz
Stephen seems so nice and I'm glad we're getting more of these segments that happened off-air
This is the segment

I don't get why people can dislike this
That's... The craziest fucking thing I ever heard. (roll graphics)
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
What a nice man...
Holy shit, what are the fucking odds!? Great story
Crazy turned sweet very quickly.
How has this man experienced so many amazing things in his life??? I want to be Stephen Colbert while I'm growing up. (I'm already 36, dammit.)
Crazy story and small world! Excellent story, Stephen!
That was a cool story. Stephen is a great story teller. He needs to do more of these if he’s had any other interesting experiences to talk about.
So sweet
great storyteller
I'm not crying, you're crying!
LOL I keep clapping your videos! This video and the 'how Stephen met his wife' video make me smile and make me clap your videos!
that story is so nice!!
Stephen Colbert is a national treasure.
Okay who's cutting onions here goddammit!
Remember how much a small sacrifice can mean to the person on the other side.
That's f'ing awesome.
Pretty nice.. Keep this coming!! Team of late show.
I love that story
What an incredible man
teared up a little.
Nice to see interaction.
That was an amazing story. 💙Colbert
