The Daily Show was also killing it last night. Jon’s Trump themed set was amazing.
What are they gonna do, fire him?
CBS and Comedy Central are both Paramount.
If Trump thinks this is genuine, then he really isn’t very bright.
Lots of conservatives thought the Colbert Report was genuine. My dad was one of them.
All the conservatives crying that Colbert "went woke" when he moved to late night is one of my favorite TV memories. They really believed he was a counter to the daily show at the time, even when he was busy inventing words like "truthiness"
It’s wild how prescient the original Truthiness broadcast was when you look back. That concept effectively sums up a lot about how we got here
My ex-wife’s Fox News / Bill Orielly (and who was that guy who would put on glasses and cry?) loving dad was also one of them.
He used to applaud Comedy Central for being more balanced by adding him after The Daily Show…. Dumb as a brick.
Can confirm, used to know people who watched it because they didn't realize it was satire.
Also not being able to detect satire is supposedly telling.
I think the most over the top thing Colbert did on that show was the episode on the funeral industry.
Oh man, I remember going out to lunch at a company I was starting with, with two guys and they were debating if he was serious or not. They absolutely, genuinely weren't sure, either one.
Otherwise seemingly bright guys.
Yes!! I was hoping for this. He needs to become very slowly progressive. This will change some people’s beliefs since they don’t understand sarcasm.
