Title: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Post by: Saul Goodman on March 23, 2016, 03:18:16 AM
Still so bad.  Way too much laughing at his own unfunny jokes.  (Seriously, like every single line cracks him up.  Wtf?)  What a shame.

Trevor Noah sucks too. He also laughs at a lot of his own jokes.

Also true. And his laugh is more annoying.

The job clearly should have gone to Samantha Bee. That was true even before her show debuted.

I was in favor of a Sam Bee / Jason Jones parody of Fox & Friends.  That would have been excellent.

This is why the phrase "jumped the shark" was coined.  They had a lot of notice that John Stewart was leaving.  Trevor Noah was the best they could find?  Maybe he had photographs.

Perfect example.  Here is a topic where the idea is really strong, and the execution (not the video clips, but Noah himself) is poor. He had a couple good moments (South Africa and India, basically) but  John Stewart would have destroyed this.

In fact, I really feel a bit robbed that we don't have John Stewart for this election cycle. I can't imagine how good he would have been. This is truly tailor-made for him and he retired right before.

I agree. I wonder if he would have stayed if he'd known the Trump thing would run this long.

I agree that J-O-N Stewart would be killing it this election cycle.

Racist. John Stewart would have done just fine.

If you want to get technical, his name is Jonathan Stuart Liebowitz.

I don't know what it is. Maybe CBS is ruining him. It's just so bland and try-hard-y that it's nearly unwatchable. And I'm sorry to say it but Jon Batiste adds almost nothing. Exaggerated laughing at things that aren't funny doesn't make them funny. What the hell happened to Colbert?

This has improved a little given the material Trump gives him to work with, but I still think the best way I can describe this show is this: It turns out the character Stephen Colbert is funnier than the real Stephen Colbert.
