I want to adress this as i often come to the same conclusion whenever i see the Late Show. Hes wit is almost infinite hes way of go loose canon ball is unmatched. Hes unhinges humor is so quick.

What I'm most impressed with is hes speed and delivery. Hes humor is like a cartoon, of the rails, quirky and he has a good vocabulary. One get an impression that hes well read and knowledgable.

One personal critiscisme is that he can be little TOOmmuch cartoonish. I miss the political edge and chemestry of Letterman /Shaffer, i miss more chemestry between Stephen and hes bandleader (i don't know hes name). I know that Stephen also have a serios tone and sharpness, i some of the key functions of Late Show is that it is humor but not humor only, Late Show is also corny but one als learn a thing or too.

Other then that i think Colbert is doing a good job as the chief jester or American tv-media. Whom wipp the Trump administration to cream every week.

I enjoyed his show before the Late Show, he is funny and witty........But I stopped watching him because 99.999998% of his show is all about trashing politics and current POTUS.

That late at night I want to be entertained and not preached to about politics, religion or stuff like that....If he wants to do that then go join CNN or the like. 
Do what Kennedy did and move to a news program, remember her she was a MTV VJ and I remember her hosting MTV 120 Minutes featuring progressive rock and then quickly moving to host Alternative Nation all grunge in the 90's.
But yea the Late Show is corny.......

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

He and Jon Stewart were funny during the Bush administration. Since then, Colbert has been reduced to a shrill partisan hack. Being forced to defend warhawk Hillary Clinton (after criticizing Bush for being the same) by your corporate paymasters will do that to a man.
