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!"
I beg to differ. My country, Nigeria, came out with perfect zeroes. That takes skill
chill bruh... 😂😭
Ho ho ho. MY country, Nepal, could give you a run for your money, my friend. We not only came out with perfect zeroes, but also managed to come out in the bottom ranks in all the games we participated in.
Lan.J lol
They were just doing a tribute to the Olympic logo.. a whole lot of zeroes!
Sushant Thapaliya Lol, bro😂
I got into a coma in 1945. Today i woke up and heard that the best seven countries at the olympics were: USA, UK, China, Russia, Germany, France and Japan. Looks like nothing changed after all...
are you being serious? I would love to hear your story if your not lying .... but your probobly lying right
samwell54 The more interesting question would be, if you are being serious with your stupid question...
Well, what happened to the USSR then?
ricarleite and why did the flag of china and germany change?
Fely Karlfredo how did you get into a coma?
Egypt had 3 bronzes, more than any other Arabic counties, two of which were by female athlete.
Go Egypt! Woooo
what do you think of the judoka that refused to shake the hand of the other athlete? :-)
natural91LC I would really like to give you a full political statement about this, whether it be for or against, but when I watch a certain situation from the comfort of my home and I don't like to judge, if you ask me what would I do, I'd say I never stand in sports competition with someone, for any reason be it political or otherwise, I am not inclined to shake hands with
But again I wasn't there and this isn't the first time an athlete refuses to shake hands with another for politics, some of those incidents are just more sensitive to the western media industry than others
***** well maybe you're right, but it was judo. The culprit of this sportis respect for the opponent, you even bow before stepping on the tatami. He didn't though. It's the Olympics, politics have no place in it. Why do you say you can't express an opinion? it's not war (where yes you may be uninclined to comment because it's easy to critic from the comfort of your home) it's the Olympics. Along with this accident there have been other antisemitic and hateful episodes, like the lebanese or the saudis. what do you think about it? How was it represented it in the arabic media?
P.S: I'm honestly curious, no mean or maleficient intention :-)
I'm trying to express my opinion the best way I can, I am not an athlete, I am not a politician, I am neither Lebanese nor Saudi and I don't watch Egyptian mass media because it sucks, big time, my relationship with the Olympic Games is what did the Egyptian athletes did in terms of performance and achievements, as for the he 67 years old conflict here in the Arab world, it's too big to be explained from both points of view in this context
Ryan Lochte is so good at swimming because sometimes he forgets how to walk
i saw him chewing gum the other day.. the look of concentration on his face was epic.
Didn't he say he died?
This is so wrong but I laughed so hard
+Dima Vasilev this comment is not good enough for you to be maKing everywhere.
or talk
It's true that America did great in the olympics but with the sheer population size and money it's not surprising. Whereas the feat of GB beating China for second place is far more impressive considering the disparities between the two countries.
Well they are GREAT Britain... sucks they can't be BEST Britain but what can you do?
+The Breakfast Megapowers I really don't think America can be chatting shit when you look at ur police brutality. I pity the black folks who gotta put up with that shit
That's some Salty Jons for ya
+The Breakfast Megapowers nah fam u can't chat nothing, pound for pound we whoop your ass
And our massive underfunding for sports centers right now (and, you know, everything else non-nuclear related...).
What's up with UK? They won more medals than China this year. Seems like they are the real winners this Olympics (did phenomenally well given their size against China, US, Japan, India, and Russia).
No, they only won more gold medals than China, which is why they're always listed ahead of China. Great Britain won 67 total medals with 27 gold and China won 70 total medals with 26 gold.
Population isn't the key here, just look at India, Nigeria etc, UK is a G8 which means it has ample support for its athletes
They did do exceptionally well, congrats to all those in the U.K and those who represented them
Yes we are the real winners. RULE BRITANNIA
Population has zero bearing on Olympic success; it's all about support for the athletes.
India has always placed education far above athletics. So despite having 1.2 billion people, they're churning out computer scientists, not runners.
Also this is America's 1000th gold medal was obtained during this Olympics, more than double of the second highest country (UK or the USSR) and America has been top 3 in gold medals and medal count since the 1896 olympics
***** it should be noted that while we are second in the medal count for the Winter olympics (behind Norway) there are many times where the US was behind 3rd place in the Winter olympics
so the OP more applies to Summer Olympics
You guys are not considering how your population is of 320 million. Your 120 medal count isn't that impressive when compared to the 20 medals the 15 million Netherlands have, or the almost 70 medals the 60 million great britain has.
Nicola Bressan counting the population is a useless statistic
I'm not implying the US has more Olympians than any other country
it would make more sense to argue compared to the atheletes that showed up vs the atheletes that won medals
in which case US has the slight edge, with 554 athletes and 121 medals
China has 412 athletes and 70 medals and UK has 366 athletes and 67 medals
Brazil would be very low, having 465 athletes but only 19 medals
population wise, India or China would be at the very bottom
Since the Olympics started, only one country has won a Gold medal at every single one of them. Great Britain.
I think it's more impressive that Norway have that many Winter Olympics medals considering we are a country of 5 million. But we don't mention the summer olympics, because we suck at that:P We did get a few bronze medals though.
USA did well, but considering how small GB is, I say 2nd for us is unbelievable. And once again we dominated cycling :)
Congrats
You beat the countries with the largest and second-largest populations but only not the third!
We are fricking brilliant at cycling!
I know!! When I saw the medal tally the last 36 hours of the games, I was shocked and excited for the UK! Hurrah!
(I'm one of those weird people who actually likes other countries to win stuff.) Dominating once in awhile is cool, yeah. But actual matches where the competition is equal is far more thrilling.
Riding a bike is a hobby not a sport
it's easy to dominate something when u have 4 times the numer of competitors of any other nation...
sorry America is the only country that actually matters.
+Josh Burgess not even close
+Big “bigweight” weight everybody else is simply used for our benefit. We USE the europeans and our asian allies simply for resources and land. and most of our allies and the world is OUR BITCH. a few countries still have the balls to say no to America but most sheep simply bow.
Yeah because we invest in our athletes, you should try it.
My country - Croatia, has more medals per capita than USA, even though we have population of only ~4 million ;)
To someone who spent weeks joking about the water of Rio 's Guanabara Bay, or the organization, Stephen seems quite happy
What is with people saying the EU won more medals than the U.S? THE EU IS NOT A COUNTRY.
Women’s sports is the only field the US dominates at the Olympics.
"My favourite flavour of mob, 'mindless'".
Steven throwing subtle shade xD
Let be fair, for medals won per head of population, Great Britain dominated
per head of population The Bahamas with 1 gold and 1 bronze but only 377k people did better
+binaway when you talk about this small a population, 2 medals are most likely a standout athlete rather than a consistent trend.
+donkoch123 wow, we got some geniuses. see how you have sold on this, Its a case of waking up and realising everything you knew is exactly the same
+donkoch123
the netherlands and australia are impressive
denmark did fine as well :D
Finally! CBS all access and UA-cam Red are worth watching again. Welcome back Late Show.
Finaly hes back I felt like I was in coma for the last 2 weeks
Oh, how I have been waiting for Stephen Colbert's bit on Ryan Lochte!
Let's see where America ranks in Education, Health Care, Cost of living.
Let's see where your country ranks in taking a joke.
+Jackson Page 27th
+Sunkyoshipbitch Now that's just plain silly. Everyone knows Americans can never get to page 27 in a document. Not at a grade 3 reading level. silly
Oh, you're a hoser. All those pucks to the head and you forget who's number one.
LMAO NOOO 😭
Missed a perfect opportunity to see a graphic of Stephen in a speedo.
Sort of true.
No 1 in medals sure.
Out of a 350 million people base.
How much did the USA spend on athlete's per medal ?
The government doesn't pay for their athletes.
Raise A Glass who said they do ? Not me.
Raise A Glass actually they sort of do indirectly. Donations to Team USA are classified as a tax deduction so you'll get the money back from the IRS. That's sort of a round about way of funding the Olympic team.
+warpedjaffas1 You're mad we invest in our athletes? Why doesn't your country?
No country is supposed to invest in their athletes, because they're supposed to be amateur athletes at the Olympics to reduce the chance for economic lockouts and general douchebaggery.
Team USA donations are AFAIK not connected to the United States government, but almost every country has something similar. Its on the edge of questionable, one could say.
Hula Hoop to the theme from Schindler's List? Talk about a blind side?!
I love how people are trying to go "but our per capita medals!" "but Britain's population was smaller!" "But, but, but... "
Do you all really take the Olympics *that* seriously? The USA won the most medals of every type. End of story. That's math. Not like the Olympics matter, anyway. If you really care about it so much, pass something like Title IX. As Stephen pointed out, we surpass every country easily in terms of female athletics, especially. No two ways about it.
And it's difficult to maintain a larger population. And if we succeeded b/c of that, then we did a good job at keeping our population well enough. So we still deserve it. I mean, by their logic, China should have had the most medals, country who triples the US pop.
What is Title IX?
From the government's website: "Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity."
Basically what it means is that state funded education *or* athletic programs in the USA must receive equal funding and/or infrastructure.
True. The Olympics right now is just a one off, waste of money project.
Todd Bollinger
It says a lot about a society that this has to be a law.
That Boooom! At 05:00 will always kill me. I replayed it like ten times over
Britain - one seventh of your population, half as many medals. That makes you half as good as us per capita. Suck it down.
We're still better
Yeah well we didn't send our entire population to go fight yours. Plus you said it yourself: half as many medals.
Of course, if we are playing that game, Denmark got 2.5 times more medals per capita than Britain. Making Britain approximately half as good as us per capita. We win.
Yayy Denmark!
+Thorbjørn Steen in fact Denmark are closer to 3 per million, ik is just over 1 per million and the USA is 0.3 per million, thus making Denmark 9 times better than the USA!!! But, Jamaica is 3.7 per million and Grenada wins as it gets about 10 medals per million.......lol
USA being first isn't really that surprising and impressive. They have the most athelets in the Olympics which get a lot of funding by large companies. GB beating China is more impressive since they have a lot less athletes and they've never beaten them.
This is a US site. Why don't you go to youtube.uk if you want to talk about GB because Americans DO NOT CARE.
+h Bag You don't have to care but you do have to respect.
Fuck h bag. Congrats to the US and the UK
+h Bag we do care, im very proud of them, each olympian did well, and i think they all did amazing regardless of where theyre from or who theyre representing. Its nice to see the UK beat china under those circumstances. Well done UK.
UA-cam is an INTERNATIONAL SITE YOU FARTBREATH!
You can tell Lochte is a swimmer because he's so good at making waves.
I think America probably enjoys the Olympics, and feels the spirit of the Olympics, less than any other nation. They take it for granted, and there's none of the elation for every little success. Also their tape delayed coverage completely sucks the soul out of the experience.
They may win the medal table - or, as in 2008 when they didn't, insist that the table should be counted in a different fashion than the way it always has - but the Olympics seems to mean more to most every other country in my experience.
I love Stephen Colbert. So much.
"I miss interpreted the event I was in". Thank you....that Olympian can hire me as his Communication Manager.
Just an FYI, bulgarian has a different pronunciation than russian, despite the similarity of those languages. Honestly, it's tiring every time people just assume that a country with its own culture and language is just an extension to the bigger and more "famous" one. And yes, I know it's comedy, but not really when it's simply a stereotype, that people suffer from.
Glad you're back Stephen! Your presence was missed")
Yea, allowing American doped athletes to compete, while kicking a third of the Russian team, including clean athletes who never doped, and complaining the others were allowed to compete - I just extend my two middle fingers to you, America
There is no evidence of Americans doping..?
'Russian athletes who never doped' Yes, they did. RUSADA and the Russian government worked together to manipulate test results.
+Luke Maier I don't mean it on the large scale, like we had, I mean there were some guys who doped, were disqualified, but shortened their suspension time or their suspension ended right before the Olympics, and they were allowed to compete. I don't remember the names, gonna have to google it again
But still, banning our whole athletics and paraolympic teams, including clean athletes is just a total bullshit. And yet, even all our team who competed was clean, Americans and Europeans complained that their medals were "stolen" because we "aren't clean"
+BryceStawski Yea, all 100 and something if them, no exceptions? That is ridiculous
+BryceStawski Although I do feel bad for the Paralympians, that wasn't fair.
What if Colbert is actually Superman and the glasses are his disguise?
I wonder how the audience would react if he have said 'the majority was won by white guys' XD
His audience is mostly white and as you've seen, they'll cheer at anything positive he says and boo at anything trump related.
are women a minority?
Women are historically underappreciated, especially in, but not limited to, athleticism. Stop playing coy.
+LatajaceStadoKotow Oh for fucks sake... You keep using that word "Marxist", I don't think it means what you think it means. You fucking moron.
It would've been 4th of July again Lol.
that presidential candidate joke got me
YEAH! Murica is the best at doping, cudos to you
#saltyforeigner
nope..but you know it's true...everyone is doped at the olympics
+BjoernHL you yourself are a fucking dope.
+BjoernHL actually Russia dopes way more than anyone
YA IKR. Just ask russia
I love Stephen's floppy superman hair
The US won 121 medals. The EU won 325 medals. So suck it.
Go to school kid.
UN won them all (minus that one N.Korea got)
No they didn't tf
+Chris Cross North Korea is still part of the UN.
***** fuck it you're no fun.
"that poor man.." lmao!
To all the haters: medal count per capita is a statistically idiotic metric. It suffers from all of the problems of the metric "GDP per capita (w/ or w/o PPP), but to an even more exaggerated extent.
What about medal count by per capita GDP?
I guess you're saying that because Great Britain was so much greater PER CAPITA ;-)
I'm not a hater - I love it :-)
Ahem. landing.google.com/altmedaltable/results/ You can adjust/filter that by both per capita and GDP results. Plus a bunch of other filters.
Per capita, it's actually Bahrain crushes the competition by nearly double. USA comes in a distant 2nd, and UK an even more distant 3rd. :D
GDP-wise order is as follows: 1) Fiji; 2) USA; 3) Jamaica; 4) UNITED KINGDOM.
Yes, I know you were just joking. But the pedantry here is so much fun. ;)
"Over-exaggerated" is the new "depends what your definition of 'is' is"
Too bad there wasn't an event for hugest mega narcissist; Trump would have taken gold.
his supporters would have won the mental gymnastics event
no I think USA would of one that
daniel peachey Would HAVE won that... Brilliant.
they sure would of
Well played
I've missed Colbert xxxxxxxxx
So much for that stereotype about Asian men.
its like trying to park a humvee limo
Like not using it for ruining your shot at Olympic gold, for a start.
Welcome back Stephen
#TEAMGB number 2!
YEAH BUDDY
To people who seem to be offended by this, you guys realize this is a show aired in the US, right? He's not gloating to other countries, he's celebrating in his own. Is it so offensive to you that an AMERICAN tv show celebrates an AMERICAN achievment in the Olympics? I'm not even from the US, but the amount of hate is ridiculous. They did well, let them have it.
Actually when adjusted for per capita numbers US medals won are in no way or form impressive. US ranks 43 out of 86 in number of medals won per capita, or in another words US is very definition of mediocre.
Source: www.medalspercapita.com/?platform=hootsuite#medals-per-capita:2016
By that method of calculation, USA can sweep the entire olympic gold medals on offer except for rugby sevens, and still finish second behind Fiji.
So? All that does is raise the odds of an athlete being born, nothing else.
LMAO SALTYYYYY
+ZoneofA
I've thought about your analysis really hard and decided that I still don't care that we lost the Beach Volleyball championship.
hahahahha really, so who is the best then, China? Russia? or who, hahahahha USA, USA,USA and plz stop crying baby 👶 hahahaha.
loved the pronunciation of neviana vladinova
USA, USA, USA????? Team GB second, with 5 times the lesser population. True not so many wins, but more medals!
Good job Steven. nice show
USA: 320M peeps 121 medals
Uk+GER+FRA+ITA+ESP: 320M peeps 196 medals
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Add up their athletes too. US has 554, and 5 countries who had 250-400 athletes EACH.
Well over 1000 athlete in those countries. Pathetic that you compare multiple countries.
+A Laly Exactly, else they could do all star teams like the USA and win more medals.
+David Darling On single athlete events it doesn't change a thing. But in team events USA is at an advantage, EU would win a lot more medals with all-star EU teams.
To be fair, a lot of international Olympians are trained by US coaches in US soil. Like the guy from Singapore who beat Phelps is a Texas Longhorn.
COLBERT IN DA HOUSE
If u send 450 people to the Olympics u better expect more than 100 medals lol but still 'Muricaaa
China did. They didn't get 100
And so did Australia, Brazil, Germany, and nearly France (395). Why single out China?
***** I agree. There was no singling out China. I mentioned one country that is all, a country that has been grabbing up a ton of medals these last few games. My point was that we weren't the only country with a large delegation of athletes, and I named a country that refuted the OP's comment.
Dear Ryan, over-exaggeration is tautological. Exaggeration, by definition, is to overdo something. You can't over over-do something. If you've exaggerated, you've over-exaggerated.
we're not only number one we're also number one at being two and three 🖕😝 😀
I'm a Brit and Steve is a god.. thank you sir for making me smile and for you thinking.. huge brain and fun take care.
stop the feminist pandering.
Stop giving a shit.
Idiot.
What feminist pandering???
Colbert had the audacity to mention THE FACT that most of the US medals were won by women. That triggered wise Mr Sage. The IRONY.
how is that pandering. it's a fact that women won most of those medals. As a male is pathetic how some males get so defensive over anything female related.
I literally clicked on this because of how fluffy his hair looks 😂😂😂
So it is officially alright to objectify men. Even on national television.
Ehh, women have been objectified for centuries. And since it's clear that it won't change anytime soon, the only way to have gender equality is to objectify men as much as possible for to make up for the centuries women have to endure it:
+Diomedes244 Clearly you are an institutionalized Misandrist.
Um no learn history sir
+Chuck Steak Well, allowed or not, they're trying their best to do that in 21st century.
@flipmaya thank you for that comment! I am tired of these men being all hurt with this "objectification" when theyr'e mostly the same people who would leer at and objectify even mother teresa, if she were young and "hot". Smh.
4:10 at least he mentions that Hilary Clinton has goofy hair.
God, I've missed him this two weeks
And no one talks about Michael Phelps, who got the most gold medals in the Olympics and retired 😂 damn you Lochte
I followed the Olympics so little that all I know is Phelps won 3 gold medals, and Canada got bronze in women's mountain biking.
He was like Obi-Wan, "I didn't like about Vader not being your father, it's just my point of view"
When they applaud Steven he's like: " I don't write this shit, go home you're drunk.l
I think small countries enjoy wining anything more than the similar top 10. Why? It's unusual, refreshing, everyone feels proud and know the name. I live in the US, but I go for smaller countries. Especially first medalist.
Thank you, Stephen!!!! "next time on the playground anyone says you throw like a girl, say thank you" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now we just need a version of the Olympics for the performance enhanced, should only take about half the time.
What about Winter Olympics? Let's go Canada
He didnt lie, he told an alternative fact. Kellyann Conway approves of him.
it annoys me when people say "over exaggerate" because it's reddundentand ironic.
This was a great monologue! Wtf audience tho, all those oooohs...
this makes GBs excitement seem over exaggerated
I always wonder why we make so much fuss about how many medals we win in sport. Does it prove that "my country is better than yours" in any meaningful way?
Tip top. I heard Mrs. Clinton has also 'over-exaggerated' over the years as well.
Listen, and believe. I'm with Lochte!
Is "over exaggerate" a word?? Is that like "infamous"? It's like famous but MORE than famous?
I lost it at presidential candidate
god I missed you Stephen
Bolt! Yo Bolt, come watch this.
When people from other countries are salty cause they can't win as many medals
Yer America did great. It's a big country with diverse people with diverse interests that will cover loads of events. Just that alone puts it in a very strong position. I'm proud of Britain but tbh I'm not really into catorgorising people by nation.
take it easy guys.. Ryan is special.. always have been.
Usain Bolt watches the BBC.
considering that the us had like a hundred times the population of most of the participating countries, I don't think they won that much
Stephen looks a lot better now that he's come back from holiday, for some reason...
Here's the actual result of the 2016 summer Olympics in medals/Pop.
1. Grenada
2. Bahamas
3. New Zealand
4. Jamaica
5. Denmark
6. Croatia
7. Slovenia
8. Azerbaijan
9. Hungary
10. Bahrain
...
43. USA
Grenaaaadaaaa! Grenaaaadaaaa! Grenaaaadaaa!
the USA also has more people in it than the countries following in the medal-count.
Hey Ryan,once you've "Over Exaggerated" ANY part of a story,you're lying.
stephen colbert does look like clark kent holy shit
Anyone remember that Swiss volleyball player?
Per capita the US is #30 in gold and #43 in total medal count. Out of countries with at least 1 million people, Jamaica is the most successful country at the Olympics. Although, the Americans send the most successful teams in terms of medals per team member (aside from Tajikistan), so they'd possibly boost their medal count by being more lax about who to send to the Olympics.
Great Britain won 0.425 gold medals per million people. US won 0.143 per million people and China only 0.0191 per million people.
The true winner of the Olympics is the Dancing weightlifter guy.
sheer statistics (population, funding, sponsors, number of athletes) almost necessitate a USA or China #1 ranking
Proud to be among the 1.4 million subscribers. Hit like if you are too!!!
Just because the U.S. has more Olympians does not mean we're going to have more metals. We got more medals because we have amazing Olympians. Look at our swimming team. Freaking Ledecky, Phelps, Adrian, Lochte are fantastic. Most of our swimming medals were won because of those four.
Congratulations America!! Well played and good luck in 2020 :)
this whole monologue was a masterpiece.
Jamaica is NOT tropical Colorado... This may be a joke but you'll be surpsised that some people may actually think that after having listened to this.... Caribbean people don't say that Michael Phelps is basically Barbadian (home of the flying fish).... leave us be.... Bolt is Jamaican ... and proud.... USA has more than enough medals anyway
I liked the funny blooper the commentator on NBC made. He said the woman hugging the Dutch gold metal winner Dorian van Rijsselberghe after he won was his wife.... no Skippy that's THE QUEEN of the Netherlands... the king and the three princesses are like right there as well. Does this atleet really look like he can effort that massive boat? So Dutch news headline the next day 'Van Rijsselberghe gets gold... and the queen gets a new husband'. ROFL Come on there weren't that many royals at this event, they really should have known the king especially cause he is s member of IOC.
