Does Colbert Drink?

Utterly smug. A weird mix of lame humour and plain bitchiness. He doesn't even cry like Anderson.

2/10

He sounds like I do when a bit tired.

He was drinking on air during election night.

I watched again he is definitely slurring.

He's Irish, so I'm thinking yes. I'll get flack for this, but I've observed that if you're Irish and you drink, it isn't a question of whether it will ever become a problem, but when.

Maybe his dentures are loose. It happens.

Numbing out the self-awareness of what a tool he actually is?

I refuse to watch his show until he gets rid of that fucking music director who won’t shut the hell up.

I'm sure the money is good, but his moving to The Late Show really killed his legacy. The Colbert Report was beyond great, but now it's diminished.

R9 It's getting far better ratings than David Letterman ever got.

R8 Such a pain in the ass. Laughing loudly at he host's jokes is so VERY Lame-ass.

Why do all these painful hosts have Lame-ass, loud-laughing men holding batons?

Jonathan Batiste is a polyglot talented musician and Juilliard grad. He's skinny, handsome, a bit of a dandy, and sexy if you ask me.

I agree with R12. He still needs to shut the fuck up.

I'm tired of these lame-ass polyglots.

He's great.

Colbert, that is. Colbert is great.

i hate that band. I don't like colbert. boring as fuck! esp his clothing!

Would suck his liberal Catholic daddy dick dry.

Colbert is unsettling. Even his ego seems angry. It is all barely contained by the hyper beagle persona he uses in performance. One day, he's going to snap with one of his guests. It won't be pretty.

Kimmel. All the way.

1:45

best show on tv

brilliant writing.....good ratings.

i find him hot in a nerdy way.

R20 He's certainly rambling if not drunk in that clip

ewww...hot? no way.

OP = more kompromat from the Trump KKKamp against one of his many media critics.

I created this thread months ago. Colbert is frequently serving drinks to guests. And sometimes he seems well lubricated when the show opens.

I thought he was Franco American not Irish.

He talks about drinking scotch and whiskey all the time and often hauls it out during his Confessions sketch or with the occasional guest.

I love the Colbert show. Seth is my favorite, but Colbert a close second. Agree with the others: The band leader has to go. The band (leader) should either be great like The Roots are silent like whoever Kimmel has.

Colbert talks a lot on the show about drinking, particularly as a way of dealing with Trump. Maybe he realizes that there's a problem.

People probably respond to Jon Batiste the way they responded to Paul Shaffer. I like both of them. As sidekicks go, Andy Richter is probably the one who should go. He says so little, so what's he good for? He's a lot funnier on Twitter.

Jon Baptiste is a great sidekick and Stephen is a great host. I'm glad he found his footing. I always swear that I'm only going to watch the monologue and I always end up watching the whole thing, even if I don't give a shit about the guest.

I find him creepy looking and unfunny.

Not funny at all and he looks like a perverted uncle.

What R32 said.

I love him. I loved The Colbert Report, and I love him on the Late Show, now that he's found his focus in trying to explain to America the obscenity of the Trump Regime.

I usually don't stick around for the guests, but his monologues are gold.

And yes, I totally would. Absolutely.

He's very amped up and hyper-active. He keeps mugging at the camera and talking in different voices.

adderall and booze?

I am waiting for the Colbert sex scandal.

Because he sold his soul to Les Moonves and they all have to scream and shriek every 5 seconds to keep the ADHD crowd happy.

He's a drunk and a pedo. And he knows that shit will catch up with him.

R39 spill!

A pedo...and a witch, a commie, a red, a pinko, homosexual, and smart, and you know what I mean by that. Stuck-up smart people.

He's hung like a horse.

I tune in for the monologue, but don't always watch the whole show. Seth is my favorite, especially Jokes Seth Can't Tell.

Back in the day, I used to dream of a S Colbert - Jon Stewart sammich. Not so much anymore, tho.

Oh look, a bunch of deplorable Trumpsters throwing anything they can at any liberal they can think of, hoping it will stick.

How inventive.

I love him.

The wittiest man that I've ever met. So glad he's successful.

Agree with R32.

He's not funny and his timing is so stiff, he constantly steps on his guests stories and is a very poor interviewer. I know who he was but he is still an odd choice to replace Letterman? Trump getting elected saved him, but his nightly town hall meetings disguised as entertainment are very boring. Dude has no sense of humor about himself and seems to have expectations of his guest to align with his "decency." That's where the creep factor comes in. He's like a too soft spoken principal who's touching himself under the desk.

Colbert is not very bright if he thinks his cringe inducing Trump "impersonation" is funny or even recognizable. He sounds like a drunk queen, it's really uncomfortable.

I get that his nerdy Mister Rogers looks are attractive to some people. But they must be men much older than he is, because he's not sexy at all. Not ever. Most of the posters here are in their 60s and UP, I guess. I have only watched one full episode of his shitty show but I see enough of him on Twitter clips.

Did the people who dislike him ever watch The Colbert Report?

creepy, not funny

Creepy, flabby with nipples which look like the tiny drugged-up pupils in Jonathan Rhys Meyer's eyeballs.

Late night hosts are not traditionally known for being hot.

All our Late night hosts are boring and witless.

Johnny Carson was certainly good looking in early middle age.

Paul Schaffer was annoying. All he did was repeat what David Letterman said.

I love him. His coverage of the hearings today is hilarious. Hilarious as Trey Gowdy's head.

He is a genius. Sharper on current events than the Daily Show.

He and Seth Meyers are the only things keeping me sane.

If you think Colbert is a genius then you deserve to be fooled by everything else going on. That douche - a genius?

A GENIUS.

Soooooo many disgruntled freepers on this thread.

Hey freepers, why are you still so angry? You have the White House. You have the Senate and Congress. You have most of the governorships and state houses. And you're about to have the Supreme Court.

Why are you still so angry? Why do you feel the need to come to a liberal board and bash liberal talk show hosts? Can't you just be happy and chill out?

Honest question.

I DVR his opening monologues and they're funnier than anything else on TV.

One of his recurrent jokes is needing to drink to be able to live through the day-to-day news coming from DC - and who can blame him.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't as smart as the other ones but his political monologue has developed into something substantial and elegant and he's not snarky about it.

R62 the question is - perhaps its not a "joke" - Colbert is really on the bottle to deal with whatev......

R61 Is DL "a liberal board"?

It's a mixed board with threads for charming aesthetic men of culture who steadfastly ignore those other threads which attract the angry, frustrated adolescents who whine continuously instead of doing something with their lives.

Trump's the fucking president OP. We all drink.

I'm not judging Colbert, I'm nosey to know if he's an archie.

^ What? An anarchist?

alchie spell check

What are you talking about?

I loved him on Strangers with Candy and I loved the Colbert Report. His CBS show doesn't do anything for me though.

Agree, R71.

every time i look at him i imagine him playing miss doubtfire
