(38,613 posts)I loved that he had that veteran guy on what will be one of his most-watched shows, and Stephen briefly stepped out of character and actually criticized that character. I haven't seen him do that before

Systematic Chaos
(8,601 posts)And the crazy thing is I'm not a religious viewer of either Colbert or the Daily Show. But when I was up at the right time and remembered they were on, I definitely tuned in.
I think this is a case of not knowing what you have until it's truly gone, in my case .
I hope Steve kicks copious amounts of ass at his new job next year! At least he'll still be on TV for us.

(20,587 posts)always a surprise with Colbert - and Randy Newman among the cast of thousands - Afghanistan troops too!!!
But still - for a show that brought sense to a crazy world.

(139 posts)And I'm shedding tears here! Best damn political satirist I've ever seen! Colbert is a stone-cold patriot!

(139 posts)You can call me Ry, if you like: it's #1 what my wife calls me, and #2 rhymes with the kind of whiskey I prefer. (But usually? Just give me a cold beer!)

DiehardLiberal
(580 posts)May sound ridiculous but he helped keep me sane as the world becomes more insane. And I laughed and learned through his brilliance and amazing moral compass.
We probably have lost another voice of reason. I don't know how he will keep the Powers that Be at bay on CBS - he will have to take the middle ground.
I hope I'm wrong. I love that man!! Thanks, Stephen for all you have done!!
