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!" - Розваги
JUST LET THE MAN ON THE DAMN PODIUM
My thoughts exactly. Oh wait, you're talking about Bernie Sanders right?
You know he was the headline speaker tonight right?
+TheEmeraldSword And they book him last...
+JTN xDD yeah as much as we love Colbert,we'd rather habe Bernie up there :D
Awesome job Stephen, long time I've laughed this much
+JTN hahahah
I'd vote that Weasel president over Hillary and Trump.
really? You think Ted Cruz would be better?
+dreaminginnoother I see what you did there. 😂
Lol
+dreaminginnoother lmao
+l336l Caligula (I think that's how you spell it) for president!!!!
I was actually cheering when he reached the podium dammit LOL
That was some supreme satisfaction!
They should've played the Chariots of Fire theme by Vangelis during that part;)
As was I my friend, as was I
me too lol
Same man lol
When he said "God bless freedom of the press" I completely lost my mind XD
I love that the security backed off at that point a bit, too xD
because he didn't run to the podium. it was either removed or he went in a different direction
+renton9999 the podium comes out of the ground
so I am right in saying it was removed
+renton9999 Technically a podium is a raised area, the part that comes out of the ground is a lectern. But even then, he was at the podium.
Can we take a moment to acknowledge that that girl was a good singer? She sang very well!
+
They surely gave an awesome performance! I loved it!
Americas got talent
The tenor too, rockin a Bowie shirt!
I was just about to say that!! I think they all did a fantastic job, & harmonized wonderfully!
I love this. He did everything he could to get up there... This is called real dedication. lol
I love how they were prepared for this. unlike those in Cleveland.
+Joe Kaput That's because they saw what he did at the RNC.
I feel like in Cleveland, they should have known something was up when Stephen Colbert is walking up to the stage determined and dressed like a character from the Hunger Games. That might be a given away.
+Joe Kaput I'm pretty sure they had specific orders to not let anyone wearing a blue wig and named Colbert anywhere near the podium lol unless they just staged it all
Spaceman what about someone wearing a purple wig and named Colbert? (Colbert eye-brow thing with dramatic music)
The security was hilarious! They look both annoyed and amused at the same time.
they wanted to laugh so bad, it was hilarious
"I'm not one to gloat, but I won"
That's my fav part
Let the man on the podium,he is most beautiful thing you can see on it
Except Bernie or Jon Stewart. But you knew that :3
2xcrzkxk Of course,
+2xcrzkxk no one wants to see a burnt out sell out politician
+Nova Day bernie isnt a sellout lol
Thumbs up for the harmonising on the Star Spangle Banner rendition
+
Agreed. If this show biz thing doesn't pan out. Stephen can always rope his brothers into a barbershop quartet.
Agreed. Harmonizing is great fun.
+1
Yeah that was nice
That was an excellent tactical roll. I'm surprised he could even do it in that getup!
And didn't lose his weasel in the process
Caligula is in it for the win!
Caligula for President. We need a third party and Caligula won't back down to Wall Street
+Michael Olson You know you're in deep electoral shit when you seriously consider voting for a dead weasel
not to mention a dead weasel named after an emperor who made his horse a Roman senator
Kudos to Nancy for trying to help him.
Jeannette Hernandez half-assed. Her own kids were telling Colbert he’s not allowed:D
Stephen Colbert is the best thing to happen to this country i wish he ran for president
He did
The only thing better than Colbert would be... his mentor.
He ran 08 but later dropped out
Honestly who would want to be under that much scrutiny
+The Prince of The Cosmos
O'Reilly or Stewart? Hope you mean Stewart...
Wow, the DNC has a lot better security when it comes to podiums 😂😭😂
*😂😂😂
pointless, cringeworthy, watching all those assistants play footsie and guard an empty stage. Silly, cringe
you mean they're pretty good when it comes to censoring free speech
That's why Hilary won the nomination..all secured and nothing to see here, walk along fine sir!
was one if her emails hidden behind the podium? haha
Is it bad I stood up and shouted "YES" when he got up there?
So did I :)
Everyone was.
Same here
I was more like, "OMG! He made it!"
I did the exact same thing
"I'm not one to gloat, but I won!"
-Stephen Colbert (a national hero)
That version of the star spangled banner ❤️🇺🇸
Love the harmony, didn't know that Colbert can sing that well
Despite his numerous mentions of his musical theatre past.
+Yosua Susanto he can sing. check out his rendition of me and my shadow
yeah that one duet he did with anna kendrick got me pregnant
It's called the anthem.
Wow, DNC was that anal about letting Colbert up the podium.
Probably saw what happened at the RNC and don't have a sense of humor.
btw people cannot say it wasn't apart of the act. there were so many people doing it. so stupid. DNC are pussys
Probably they don't want to start a precedent of just allowing anybody on stage. Sure Colbert is funny, but what if it's someone spewing conspiracy bullshit... So totally understood what they prevented Colbert after last week.
Neither party has any.
Come on guys lets be realistic did Colbert really hurt the RNC, I mean they have just nominated Trump if that doesn't embarrass the party I doubt Colbert's jokes will.
I still think it was staged because the security were all laughing. They were told to not let him on but I don't think they really cared even if he went on, because if you really want to stop him they would have thrown Colbert out but they were lazily following him around laughing and when he did go on they didn't stop him.
when the elections all over I'm really gonna miss the hungry for power games segment 😔😔😔
Same :(
Hopefully he'll bring in back for the senate and congress elections :)
Also our home owner association elections are around the corner. :)
oh by that time well have coin as president
Well, in theory, he can do them again in 4 year... (unless Trump wins)
Not all heroes wear capes
Some wear wigs
And carry dead ferrets.
+The Very Spooky Guy and have blue pubes
One of the few great things about America is that someone can just walk around with a mad impression of a fictional character wearing a hideous wig taking madly to a camera crew and no one batts an eye.
Er...that's just UA-cam internet celebrity. But no, in some places, that scares people because they don't understand what it is.
+Grace Liu no, he's a tv show host. Not a UA-cam celebrity. Think Ellen, not pewdiepie.
Thaddeus Cornell I'm talking about the "someone can walk around with a mad impression of a fictional character"
Grace Liu That's not exclusive to UA-cam dear.
Grace Liu more stories, but TV personalities get kicked off things a lot too, especially ones that are involved with politics and world affairs. It's not a niche exclusive to UA-cam and UA-cam isn't the first thing that comes to anyone's mind when this sort of thing happens.
I love how the late show is slowly but steadily is becoming the Colbert Report.
I REALLY hope it does!
It's about damn time :)
I think it's that he's getting more comfortable. He's not in his Comedy Central character, but the real Colbert is very very funny as well and a joy to watch. What you're seeing is him in his home territory, politics.
me too
It's odd how the republicans are the ones preaching that we are not safe yet their security was like two guys chewing gum and the Dems had 12 guys dedicating all of their keeping one tv host from going up to the podium haha
Haha well after seeing Colbert get up on the Republican stage, I bet they knew he was coming for theirs.
+Kay Duff good one
Its sad, how many guys does it take?
hmmm i wonder why? what can they be hinding?
They knew he was looking for the emails
DNC: protect podiums, but not high clearance emails. Great!
Hahaha! #Truth
and the RNC protect a rascist bigot demagogue and promoted him as the candidate for their party in the general election. Even better!
+Cleander Yu triggered
+Cleander Yu racist bigot? I spot an idiot who can't think for themselves. A follower not a leader.
DNC = √rekt
when organizing this convention someone probably said to the security guys "If Colbert comes here dressed as that guy from the Hunger Games do NOT let him on the podium"
He forget his line.."Look I know I shouldn't be here, but neither should Hillary"
I think he was just happy to make it to the stage this time around.
+Olivia N well, you actually took the time to prove what I suspected by reading the emails, so thank you for that confirmation. When I read the articles that talked about "rigged". All of them say the word "rigged", non of them gave any factorial quotes from any emails, just DNC people writing their opinion about disliking Sanders and what they wish could happen, making it sound as if it's wrong to for people to be entitled to their own opinions and desires in private emails.... Few articles of that same bs and I decided this is nothing more than pathetic negative sensationalism, which the whole damn "news" media is now turning into.
at least she's a politician, Trump is just a reality show star 😂😂
Or... "This wasn't staged, unlike Hillary's nomination"? "This was just as staged as your primaries"? "When the DNC decides you won't be up here, they pull out all the stops. Isn't that right, Bernie"?
HE FINALLY MADE IT ONSTAGE I WAS SO HAPPY
Democrats build a wall of security guards.
At least the security guards had a sense of humour this time around.
+GrijzePilion they were obviously expecting him to do something like he did at the RNC.
liberals love to defend their hypocritical ways if the RNC didn't let him on stage you would be crying about them being authoritarian. haha love to see the dems rip their own party apart
+click clack funny how you talk about the democratic party being hypocritical, when you just said that they are tearing themselves apart, yet Trump is destroying your party, lol
Dexter King Both parties are being torn apart right now.
Notice the difference between colbert's appearance at the RNC and DNC. RNC had no problem for him to have access to the podium. DNC so worried about their image. I think this is a microcosm of the enitre election
Um...because they saw what happened the first time dude...
the rnc barely had any security who gave a fuck
Grab ye tin foil hats commonfolk, TIS A CONSPIRACY
ikr. was the first thing I noticed too
Or perhaps they saw what he did at the RNC and knew better.
He should have asked Bernie Sanders for tips on how to get on the podium when the DNC is working against you.
Wow, I'm really disappointed with the DNC organizers for not letting Colbert on the stage, it was before anything was even happening and it really gives the impression that they didn't want to allow any criticism if Hillary even if it's for humor. While I'm sure she didn't specifically request Colbert not be let on stage, if you genuinely want the youth vote, being willing to accept humorous criticism is great look in our eyes at least in the opinion of all those I know in my age group
Considering they were probably supposed to not let ANYONE on the stage except for authorized people, Colbert didn't qualify as being "authorized." I'm sure they knew he wasn't a threat and didn't give a damn if he criticized Hillary.
Didn't you watch the video? He had a "Podium Pass", and they still wouldn't let him on.
;-)
SineOccasu That pass was as legit and important as the WNBA.
+Ethan Penner Then why couldn't Nancy Pelosi get him on? I'm sure her kids were not "authorized" but she could get them on but not Colbert. Seems to me far more likely someone saw what he did at the RNC and didn't want it happening at the DNC, whether that was someone in charge of the event or the actual security officers themselves
blah Did you not hear the guy in the video? First off, Colbert wanted to use her to get on. The security guy said "You and your children can go on, but not the man. Not Colbert." She was authorized, dude. And he basically already did stuff, chanting "Lock her up" and talking about the emails.
That was actually really impressive harmonizing
Julius Flickerman for President!!!!
Flickerman/Calligula 2020!
He should have prepared something funnier to say once he got on stage. I would have gone with: "Welcome to the DNC, where Bernie Sanders has offered himself as tribute..." idk the RNC one was funnier, but the way he got to the podium was funnier here.
I do think that he prepared some lines, but given the security, he didn't want to get into possible serious troubles.
yeah I agree but I dont even think he expected to get onto the podium at all, so when he finally did he wasnt prepared.
He won't say that because he's pro-Hillary. He may act like he isn't but he clearly is. When Hillary won the nomination, Colbert sincerely said "The voices of women will be heard."
+Ashcool
Dude...he let Bernie on his show so many times.
And you sound kinda sexist, like what, you don't want the voices of women to be heard?
I think because he flat out knew that he wasn't getting on that podium as easily as he got to the RNC one (I mean he pretty much was able to do a full minute of material there!) so he was stunned that he made it past them, but because he didn't want to get in too much trouble afterwards he did "I love podiums". Honestly the RNC one would've been less funny if they had anywhere near the security that the DNC thought to get.
that was the greatest thing I have ever seen.. Steven you are my hero and an inspiration to all that have dreams of also standing upon a podium someday.
"I'm not supposed to be here but be honest NEITHER IS HILLARY CLINTON."
When a candidate gets 3,000,000 more votes than her opponent, let's be real she's deserves and is supposed to be there.
Using election fraud..
+kuznea96 election fraud? did she force the people to vote for her?
Forced OUT those who wouldn't. See voter suppression.
When DONALD TRUMP, asshole extraordinaire as he is, can claim of winning primaries fairly and you can't, there's a huge problem.
No but the DNC did specific things they aren't supposed to do in order to make her the candidate. Even going so far in the 19,000 emails that got leaked as to publicly use Bernie's Jewish religion as a dividing point against Hillary. The amount of stuff they did to give him negative or less attention is astounding and that is why the DNC chair resigned instantly when they came out.
Last time I came this early I made really overused joke about making an overused joke.
The last time I came this early your mom said "It happens to everyone".
Raj Dabholkar *licks finger*
*puts said wet finger on raj*
*sizzle*
What the heck. He's super musical!
well he did go to drama school
That woman sings really well too.
He should do the Superbowl lol
Who's the arranger for the song?
He has a Grammy.
Why were they so humorless? Even with Pelosi he couldn't get up, that was just stupid.
Yale Law, human rights lawyer, first lady, senator, secretary of state and the overwhelming Democratic choice for POTUS. She's really entitled.
***** lol
"went during segregation"
What does that have to do with anything?
"according to sheep like you"
No, according to the 15 million or so Democrats who voted for her in the primaries. We're just the messengers.
"fought to take rights away from poor and minorities in the 90s"
Put up or shut up.
"to white privilege? yes."
Granted.
+Johnny Nguyen People like you are almost breathtakingly dumb. Here's some random lines you can get from searching Google: "Obama Has Killed More Muslims than the Spanish Inquisition," "Obama Has Killed More People with Drones than Died on 9/11," "Many Terrorist Notches on Obama's Belt." Even blatantly leftist websites acknowledge that he has been passing out drone strikes on Muslims like candy. So either he's been killing his own people with extreme prejudice (paying special attention to their leadership), or you don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about.
Moxie the Game Bunny He's being sarcastic.
That said, you can't scroll down more than five times on a political video without finding somebody who actually does think and talk almost exactly like that these days, so I can't really blame you for not picking up on it.
Did he honestly say that charging the STAGE wasn't STAGED? Was it podiumed? soapboxed? Gah.... I.. I think my brain broked.
haha
you mean broke? lol now my brains broken ; D
God oh, my, you. There goes my atheism. Now I gotta buy all new bumper stickers.

I'm gonna miss this segment
Ah, but we still have two tributes vying for Capitol City!
If America survives in the next four years he can bring this segment back.
DoctorWeeTodd
I've already begun holding America's wake
technically 4
He'll be back after we storm the Capital.
Damn it they watched what he did at RNC and wouldn't let him up! LoL
Never mind he made it lmao 😂😂
I actually wonder if there was a podium up at the stage in the beginning, and they rushed to take it off after seeing him just in case he made it like he did XD
+arimpact it "sucked" down into the floor.
wow colbert can really sing the harmonies in the anthem! solid
As a major donor to Hilary Clinton, I have to say that I'm appalled. I'm going to call her right now and tell her about this dishonorable behavior against Mr. Colbert. I'll get this straightened out very quickly. Mr. Colbert, I apologize on behalf of the DNC.
I meant I'm going to call Hilary Clinton, not I'm going to call her. Autocorrect.
The look of sheer joy on his face as he's being escorted off the podium is priceless
How about we take those security guards protecting tho stage... and put them around the white house to stop Hillary and Trump getting in😂
YES!!
it's the safest thing for everyone
but trump and hillary could just roll through the guards
+Brananada Republic true
-Patrick Star
I finally realized what's wrong with his face in that outfit. He has fake eyebrows above his eyebrows.
Nancy was like "I'd rather go with him" she's so cool
Stephen just gave up on trying to put the fake eyebrows on correctly
I have to admit Colbert, you actually did make fun of the DNC.
I didn't think you would. I genuinely thought you would silently sweep this under the rug at the behest of CBS and we wouldn't hear anything about it.
Credit where credit is due: That means you're way more honest of a reporter than anyone at the Washington Post.
Had me laughing and clapping when you got up there, and I loved how you had the security following you back and forth in front of the podium, thanks for the fun
How does Colbert walk with balls that big?
My goodness this was amazing
Colbert has a quality I would classify as a true superpower, and it's a quality he says he deliberately cultivated: he no longer feels any embarrassment. This is what makes so much of his humor possible, like this, or the WH Correspondents' dinner. He is a fearless comedian without a shred of self-consciousness.
He's like Norm Mcdonald in that sense
@@shidden3933 lol no fucking way
A story of heartbreak, singing, and reaching podiums.
Colbert so savage I had to come back 7 months later just to see him do this again. Trump Presidency too depressing.
They're never gonna let him back!! 😂 Lol!
Do you think they fully understand just how silly they look keeping a blue man with a dead furry weasel off the podium?
Just discovered Stephen Colbert 2 months ago (I'm not from the US), and I find he's one of the only comedian who can make me laugh every time he's on screen. But this video makes me cry out with laughter xD Thank you Stephen!
You'll probably like Eric Andre, then~ Both of them may seem like opposites, but they resonate real well with one another~
he has a pass. why won't they honor it?
Because it wasn't emailed to him
He did Email it but it was to Hillary :(
It is not a real pass. He just printed it off hoping he could trick someone into letting him on the stage.
it was meant to be emailed to him but Hillary must have accidently deleted it
But it was so easy to get up onto the RNC podium!
Huh. That explains a lot about how Trump got up there.
That stuffed ferret just gets creepier and mangier.
I fucking lost it when he started chanting "lock her up!"
That took some balls to yell that shit in the heart of the DNC lol
This was 4 years ago and It’s still funny.
Even the people who are trying to keep him off of the stage are dying for laughter/ annoyance.
This lightheartedness is sorely missed in 2020. Colbert charging that podium is still my favorite thing I've ever seen at a DNC.
The conventions feel a little like the graveyards of the hopes and dreams of the sane Americans.
god damn! Stephen doing the bass line in a three-part harmony. Classic.
after binge watching old colbert videos during my free time over the last few weeks I can say this is the best colbert video to be found on youtube ever.
I think they saw what happened at the RNC and sent out a mandate stating "Whatever you do, do not let Stephen Colbert on that podium. I don't care if Hillary herself says so."
Nice job on the National Anthem.
Colbert is a true legend and isn't biased like pretty much every other political talk show host. Doesn't matter what party you are in, you can't help but like him.
"isn't biased." Lmao I'm just gonna assume this is sarcasm.
What Colbert are u talking about? Cause the one from the late show is very biased
He is extremely biased. Blind anti-trump rhetoric left and right, I respect if you don't like him but RAVIST BIGOT XENOPHOBE is not a valid reason.
He is extremely biased. Blind anti-trump rhetoric left and right, I respect if you don't like him but RAVIST BIGOT XENOPHOBE is not a valid reason.
"Isn't Biased" wtf you smoking bro. He is soo biased toward Hilary it's sooo obvious. He constantly looks down at Bernie supporters.
"I won!"
I love Colbert. Seriously. Best damn thing I've seen all week.
What are those who claimed Stephen was biased and wouldn't treat the two conventions the same saying now?
"god bless podiums"
those security guards are getting paid at least $100 per hour to fuck around with this guy
I absolutely adore your demented Julius Flickerman character! And I had no idea you could sing like that :)
Last time I was this early, there was only 2 genders
Funny and Original
what does this mean?
lol
last time I was this late, the Earth was flat.
"God bless PODIUMS!" lol
Can't have anyone reminding the people she's a liar.
They guard the podiums as well as emails😂😁
Damn, Stephen. Those harmony skills though.
And they say she's robotic, I dont understand
Damn, Colbert does a mean second voice on the anthem!
I was thinking that too!
HE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh that National Anthem made me cry! I pray for you America!
We're laughing at your presidential election right now like the rest of the world!
But truly, we do hope you vote for the lesser evil! WE REALLY DO!
You gotta love Julius Flickerman! I hope he comes back in 2020.
Go find the emails! Throws Caligula 🤣
I was already a fan of Colbert, I was already loving the Hungry for Power Games series but this episode cemented him in my heart forever.
At least the RNC respects opposite views
Nope, they booed Cruz because he didn't want to endorse Trump. That's not respecting opposite opinions dumbass.
+Julen Lian Trehe that's different
+E Games how is that different? He said to vote with ur conscience, he is basically saying that the vote IS not a binary decision. Why should he deserve to be booed?
thats backstabbing ..not opinions
they allowed him speak to the whole audience at RNC
+Julen Lian Trehe The crowd booed Cruz, BUT both the formal leadership and Trump let Cruz speak his mind.Trump knew what Cruz was going to say hours before, yet Cruz was still allowed to speak because Trump is not afraid of opposing speakers.
Stephen Colbert for president.
That would be awesome, but most of the smartest people don't want to be president because of the stress, and he is probably among them.
You should watch 'Monsters vs Aliens' :)
"I know you may want to throw me in jail, but quite honestly Hillary should be there to!"
when did he say that?
+Tiffani Wong It was just a joke from what he said about Trump at the RNC
Tiffani Wong yea he said a very similar Trump joke, I thought it was funny even though I support Trump, wouldve been great to see him get up there and say that
to what?
I support Hillary, but even I think that's hilarious. Kudos, Ken XD
Colbert is why they built that wall lol.
Wow, the DNC has no flare for comedy! The Republicans were sports about the podium. I am embarrassed to be a Democrat.
"Republicans played were sports"
they were too slow
To be fair, I'm pretty sure the RNC would have wanted to stop him had they known what he was going to do.
The republicans don't watch Stephen so they didn't know what was coming.
I think that the DNC saw what he did at the RNC and tried to avoid that from happening. You can hear security saying, "We can't let you go up there Mr. Colbert". So they clearly knew who he was and had orders to not let him through.
On top of all that. They totally let Nancy along with the kids and their podium pass to get on stage, but refused Stephen despite his podium pass.
I love that Nancy Pelosi seemed actually upset she couldn't get Colbert up there. It is some impressive security though, and if nothing else they all really seemed to accept that he's just a comic. Cos you know if they didn't at least get that this was just in good fun, they'd of tackled him so hard.
the irony of trying to prevent a weasel from the DNC podium, I guess only lying weasels are allowed? 😅
That's some nice zone defense the DNC was running, lets see how they tackle the second half, back to you Todd!
After his other podium-crashing stunt I'm not surprised that the guards were a little weary of him 😂
at least the DNC security gets the joke... partially.
I'm not gonna gloat, but I won
"I'm not one to gloat, but I won" 😂😂😂
No one deserves to be up there more than Colbert!
