I personally don’t care. He had Heb on his show. That alone is enough for me to not watch.
It was basically a single joke extending for way too long to the point of making Eminem and the audience uncomfortable.
Colbert promised that he would have a lot of similar "humor" that made people uncomfortable on his show.
I wonder how long that will work out for him?
Letterman lost audience because he was slightly edgy. Colbert's numbers could plummet if he tries to do a late night version of The Office.
Letterman to Stephen Coalbear is not an improvement.
I have virtually no interest in watching his show.
How about in America?
Never liked the guy won’t watch his show. What he does has no relevance to my wonderful life.
Saw it last night and thought it was a funny show, until Jeb showed up.
Dude brought down the average I.Q.’s in the room...
Probably worth taping the YEB segment for use if you ever have trouble sleeping.
Of course his first show had high ratings. Check back in a year, if he’s still on, that is.
Watched the first 15 minutes or so; nothing to write home about (or stay up for, IMO).
Colbert is lucky in one sense: he inherited the #3 show in late night. From 1995 until his final month on the air, Letterman was never better than a distant second to Jay Leno, and often trailed “Nightline” as well (when it aired at 11:30). When Jimmy Kimmel moved to that time slot, he began beating Letterman as well. His only reprieve came when NBC made the worst mistake in TV programming history and gave the Tonight Show to Conan O’Brien. Once Leno returned, Letterman resumed his rightful place in the ratings cellar, and that pattern continued when Jimmy Fallon replaced Leno.
How does this help Colbert? He makes far less money than Letterman (who once pulled down $30 million a year), so production costs are lower. Meanwhile, CBS can charge as much for advertising as they did with Letterman, so their profits will increase. If Colbert tanks, the network’s buyout will be a fraction of what NBC paid O’Brien, and they’ll find someone else to sit behind the desk.
From what I saw last night, Fallon has nothing to worry about—and he couldn’t carry Johnny Carson’s microphone. Amazing how far the “talent level” in late night has fallen over the past 20 years.
How many viewers did The Apprentice get at its peak?
I think these night shows are jealous of Trump getting more viewers than them combined.
I saw the first half hour. It stank. Turned it off after he trashed Trump as ku klux klan racist.

Well, he HAS to be funnier than Letterman - of course, that’s like saying Joe Biden is more honest than Hillary Clinton....
