Colbert Report The Late Show with
Stephen Colbert and any other television
appearances this funny and satirical
South Carolina native has made
I am phenomenal however long it takes
I’ll go to whatever lengths it’s gonna
make me a monster though number 10
getting Daft Punk The Colbert Report
while he likely didn’t feel lucky at
first
Colbert managed to turn a decision by
Comedy Central’s corporate parent Viacom
to cancel an appearance by Daft Punk on
The Colbert Report into comedy gold
after explaining how he’d only just
found out the day before that another
Viacom subsidiary MTV had exclusive
performance rights to the French duo he
started dancing to Daft Punk’s hit get
lucky various celebrities joined him in
an original music video most notably
Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston on
rollerskates in what looked like a disco
[Applause]
when life gives you lemons you make a
funny video number nine only in Monroe
only in Monroe boiler alert hope you
didn’t get too attached to that free
parking on Cass Street
Stephen Colbert can host anything well
he proved that when during the break
between the Colbert Report and the Late
Show he took over hosting duties for one
episode of a local Monroe Michigan
public access show only in Monroe if
you’re wondering what muskrat tastes
like imagine eating a rat but with more
must he interviewed the show’s regular
hosts and brought up a very local and
impressively out-of-date yelp review
before introducing his special guest
Michigan native Eminem and Colbert
referred to by his given name Marshall
Mathers Marshall thanks so much for
being here today after pretending not to
know his guest was famous the pair
co-presented the ultimate local show
segment a real Monroe Michigan community
calendar stop by if you’re a numismatist
or if Tuesday is laundry day and you
just need to break a single number eight
crude political drawings The Late Show
with Stephen Colbert I’m writing OC it’s
really small because I don’t want to
waste chalk here
Colbert’s political comedy can be witty
highbrow satire but sometimes downright
crude and juvenile gets the point across
just as well if not better as Colbert
demonstrated when lampooning Donald
Trump and his administration Colbert has
used drawings to explain everything from
the Access Hollywood tape scandal to
Republican Devon Nunez conflict of
interest while the audience in the Ed
Sullivan Theater gets to see the whole
work at some point CBS will often blur
out part of the image prompting Colbert
to playfully speculate as to just when
that will happen
number seven tuck buck furred The Late
Show with Stephen Colbert listen people
the Liberals want to tattoo Obama logos
onto the skin of Christian babies okay
Colbert has made a career out of
parroting conservative pundits but it
turns out the host is willing to take it
to the next level imitating over-the-top
conspiracy theorists like Infowars host
Alex Jones which he does on The Late
Show as tuck buck furred
father I mail by town my children will
have my penis Colbert nails Jones’s
mannerisms his style of speaking or
rather shouting and his far-out theories
which let’s be honest don’t need to be
exaggerated that much to play his comedy
the parody certainly made an impression
as the real Alex Jones brought up
Colbert in his custody battle with his
wife
naturally this shout-out only served as
more fodder for the comedian I’m a
marijuana addict who should not be
trusted with my own children number six
Colbert election coverage The Late Show
with Stephen Colbert no obvious I’m very
grateful that you’re here I’m gonna
finish this real you can finish mine too
Colbert’s 2016 presidential election
coverage started as over-the-top humor
but ended on a very serious note during
the primaries it was presented as the
hungry for power games with Colbert in
full Caesar Flickerman inspired garb
giving a send-off to candidates who left
the race as though they were fallen
tributes he also brought this character
to both conventions notably storming the
stage at the RNC then on election night
he hosted a live special called Stephen
Colbert’s live election night
democracy’s series finale who’s gonna
clean up this shit that very quickly
turned from a comedy show into one of
shock and reflection as the results
poured in let me ask you a technical
question that if you guys being
political analysts would know you’d
understand is happening nonetheless it
was quality programming from beginning
to end
[Applause]
number five
Colbert versus Ohio various so it
doesn’t happen again Colbert they take
away take away was it the right thing to
do it’s clear that one of the
inspirations for Colbert’s over-the-top
conservative character on The Colbert
Report was the bombastic now former Fox
News host Bill O’Reilly it is tough
being me is it tough being you in
character
Colbert called him Papa Bear and when
the two met in person on each other’s
respective shows Colbert’s mocking
adoration was palpable he promoted
O’Reilly book on his show with a 30% off
sticker and allegedly stole the
microwave from the break room when he
was a guest of the Fox host when
O’Reilly was fired
Colbert responded both in his old
character and as himself finally getting
to say what he really thought of Papa
Bear stay strong papa bear number four
presenting at the Emmys the 58th
Primetime Emmy Awards good evening
godless sodomites Colbert’s over-the-top
character was at its best when paired
with former Daily Show host Jon Stewart
playing the straight man
this dynamic reached its peak when the
pair Co presented at the 2006 Emmy
Awards in what was arguably one of the
most memorable Emmy bits in the show’s
history I’m reading the prompter in here
you can read that pablum as Stewart read
a prepared script on reality shows from
the prompter Colbert fully in character
laced into the assembled crowd of
Hollywood celebrities calling them
godless sodomites praying to a golden
idol the Emmy statue after the crescendo
Colbert jokingly admitted that it all
had to do with his losing an award that
evening to Barry Manilow classic Colbert
number three pollster The Late Show with
Stephen Colbert Stephen Colbert is no
stranger to controversy or mocking the
administration the two combined when the
host decided to go after President Trump
for his treatment of CBS journalist John
Dickerson John Dickerson is a
fair-minded journalist and one of the
most competent people who will ever walk
into your office and you treat him like
that
The Epoch Late Show monologue rant that
ensued culminated in a crude joke about
Trump and Putin which some initially
characterized as homophobic in fact the
only thing your mouth is good for is
being Vladimir Putin’s pollster Colbert
later apologized for his choice of words
but not for slamming Trump with an army
of Trump supporters criticizing Colbert
and eventually the president himself
making a comment Colbert was clearly
satisfied with the controversy this bit
caused I don’t regret that number two
burning bush at the 2006 White House
Correspondents Dinner the present in
this case is Rocky Balboa and Apollo
Creed is everything else in the world in
2006 the White House Correspondents
Association gave Colbert a chance to
perform his faux right-wing george w
bush praising character for the man
himself when they invited him to host
their annual dinner The Colbert Report
host did not disappoint and most
certainly did not hold back there this
administration is not sinking this
administration is soaring
he went after everything from Vice
President Dick Cheney accidentally
shooting a man in the face to the Bush
administration’s failing poll numbers
and the president’s track record of
standing on aircraft carriers and rubble
alike
Colbert even took part in a skit
with the legendary White House
correspondent Helen Thomas
[Music]
bushes faced throughout said it all the
man was hitting his mark before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions her favorite memory
of prayer was a young mother tucking in
her children truthiness now I’m sure
some of the word police the word in East
is over it Webster’s are gonna say hey
that’s not a word well anybody who knows
me know that I’m no fan of dictionaries
or reference books they’re elitist
number one the Colbert super PAC The
Colbert Report some satirist stell jokes
to highlight the problem of money in
politics but Colbert took things to an
almost surreal level by starting his own
political super PAC capable of accepting
large anonymous donations for real this
gave him over a year’s worth of
recurring material for his show and
quite a bit of information on the
political funding process for his
audience he raised nearly seven hundred
and seventy four thousand dollars much
of it from not so anonymous donors whose
names rolled across the screen as he
rose in the end on behalf of Hamm Rove
his lunchmeat strategist he donated the
money to the hurricane sandy relief fund
and groups fighting for campaign finance
reform among others
