The new Late Show with Stephen Colbert is pretty bad

[DarrinS]

I don't know what I was expecting. I was hoping he would come out of character and be himself. But, it's basically just the Colbert Report in talk show format.

Oh well, fans of his shtick will be happy.

[JoeChalupa]

Yeah, I wasn't impressed but it'll find itself soon enough.

[boutons_deux]

first night, he's smart guy with a smart staff. They'll figure things out. The Coal Bear Rap Whore will be hard to shake off.

[Spurminator]

I hated the Colbert Report. SMH if he's still the same sarcastic shithead.

Was it?

[spurraider21]

i didn't watch, but i'm not surprised you've come to this conclusion

[DMX7]

The first Colbert Report wasn't that great but he refined it into a monster.

Colbert's sense of humor probably isn't for older people either... Fans of Letterman may not all transform into Colbert fans.

[CitizenDwayne]

Not impressed. He bores me.

The clips of Trump are funny. The dude trying to be funny with a bag of Oreos isn't. Just my opinion.

[Clipper Nation]

It's really hit or miss so far, which is to be expected from a new show in its first few nights. His monologues are funny and he does good interviews, but he's also doing way too many trying-too-hard segments. For example, the "furry hat" segment was the lethal combination of an overwrought setup and cliched hack writing.

Stephen Colbert Dismantles Ted Cruz’s Anti-Gay Bigotry and Tax Cut Fanaticism

'The Late Show' host quizzed Cruz on the Constitution, while the audience booed the 2016er.

“Let me ask about Reagan for a second,” Colbert began before getting serious and noting the severe ideological divide between Ronald Reagan and today’s Republican Party. “Reagan raised taxes, okay. Reagan actually had an amnesty program for illegal immigrants. Neither of those things would allow Reagan to be nominated today. So to what level can you truly emulate Ronald Reagan?” Colbert asked Cruz, noting that Reagan worked with former Democratic Speaker of the House, Tip O’Neill.

“Isn’t that what people want more than anything else,” Colbert questioned, “more than principals, is action?”

Cruz disagreed, claiming that he’s never heard from an American who has asked him to work more with President Obama, or “give in more to Barack Obama” as he put it.

“Could you agree with Reagan on those two things,” Colbert pressed as the crowd broke out in raucous applause, “raising taxes and amnesty for illegal immigrants?”

“No, of course not,” Cruz replied. “But Ronald Reagan also signed the largest tax cut in history,” Cruz pushed-back defiantly. “He reduced government regulations from Washington and economic growth exploded.”

“He did,” Colbert conceded as Cruz continued. Noting that from 1978-1982, economic growth averaged less than one percent a year, Cruz argued that the true legacy of Reagan was limited government.

“But when conditions changed in the country, he reversed his world’s largest tax cut and raised taxes when revenues did not match the expectations, so it’s a matter of compromising,” Colbert recalled.

“It’s entirely possible that your plan might be the right one,” Colbert offered before asking Cruz if he’d be willing to comprise with his opponents if it turns out he doesn’t have the best solution “and not feel like you capitulated with the devil?”

Cruz joked to Colbert that there is “nothing diabolical about you” and insisted he doesn’t “respond in kind” when his opponents “throw rocks and insults.”

“When others attack me, I make of point of keeping it on substance,” Cruz argued. Cruz said he is merely fighting for the U.S. to “live within our means, stop bankrupting our kids and grandkids, and follow the Constitution.”

“And no gay marriage,” Colbert quickly added, opening the door for a debate on the Supreme Court decision with the former SCOTUS clerk.

“Well actually, let’s be precise. Under the Constitution marriage is a question for the states,” Cruz retorted.

“It doesn’t mention marriage in the Constitution,” Colbert shot back to applause.

“The 10th Amendment states that if the Constitution doesn’t mention it, it’s a question for the states … I don’t think we should entrust governing our society to five unelected lawyers in Washington,” Cruz argued as Colbert’s audience began to boo the senator.

“Guys, however you feel, he’s my guest so please don’t boo him,” Colbert interjected.

“If you want to win an issue, go to the ballot box and win at the ballot box,” Cruz calmly concluded. “That’s the way the Constitution was designed.”

Colbert Brilliantly Exposes Trump’s Duplicity On Birtherism

The last time Donald Trump ran for president, vocally questioning President Obama’s birthplace was a central component of his campaign. Trump even sent “investigators” to Hawaii as he rocketed up the polls (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/04/07/trump-sends-investigators-hawaii-gains-gop-presidential-primary-poll/). Chatter about the issue, mostly stirred by Trump, became so distracting thatObama eventually released his “long form” birth certificate (https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/04/27/president-obamas-long-form-birth-certificate) in 2011.

This year, Trump has garnered more support by expanding his base beyond the conspiratorial fringe. Even New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wants to “Make America Great Again (http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/05/politics/donald-trump-tom-brady-hat-make-america-great-again/index.html).” But when asked about Obama’s birthplace, Trump demurs.

Last night on “The Late Show,” Colbert exposed the duplicity of this approach.

“I’m going to throw you up a big, fat meatball for you to hit out of the park right now… This is the last time you have to address this question if you hit the ball, OK?… Barack Obama — born in the United States?” Colbert asked.

Trump refused to hit the meatball.

“You know, I don’t talk about it anymore,” Trump said. “I talk about jobs, I talk about our veterans being horribly treated.”

Stephen Colbert ratings reveal how 'Late Show' host is shaking up TV

Break out your melodica and do some high kicks: Stephen Colbert's ratings prove that "The Late Show" host is already shaking up the late-night TV landscape.Of course it's still early yet, but numbers released Thursday for the first official week of the fall season show that Colbert — who took over the CBS late-night talk show on Sept. 8 — has so far helped CBS reach a larger, more youthful audience since David Letterman retired. Colbert, 51, has reenergized the show along with his new melodica-playing bandleader Jon Batiste; the pair open shows by dancing together, sometimes with high kicks.

Is this bad news for Colbert's main rivals, NBC's Jimmy Fallon and ABC's Jimmy Kimmel? Well, perhaps — but Fallon's "Tonight Show" is still No. 1 in the 11:35 p.m. time slot and that's not likely to change anytime soon.

Also, Fallon and Kimmel both produce numerous stunts and bits that generate huge traffic online. Kimmel's YouTube channel generated 27 million views during premiere week, more than double its total last year.

"Although Fallon's lead is pretty comfortable, Colbert's falloff after the typically strong first week isn't as great as it could have been, and the audience is younger than Letterman's," said Brad Adgate, an analyst for ad firm Horizon Media. "I think the battle will be between Colbert and Kimmel for second place."
