1. Thank you!

2. Thanks! This really was a banner night

In a succession of exceptional shows! Colbert was as sharp as ever, got in some real zingers, it was very cool that both he and Jon had personal experience with the great Aretha Franklin - and I just love "Melania," she's always spot on!

3. Thanks so much for doing this so often

Some mornings I just have to turn off the news and watch these instead. You're doing a public service for your fellow DUers.

[Rhiannon12866]

7. Thank you! And I sure feel the same way!

There are days that I just can't take the news, it's just too much for me, too. And that's exactly why I started posting the late night comedians who have been doing a stellar job keeping up with the news and managing to ridicule what's going on - with humor. They help keep me sane and I figured that we need all the humor we can get these days, so I'm just paying it forward. Stephen Colbert is a national treasure and must-see-TV for those of us on DU!

4. "That's an insult to Richard Nixon."

That's not a burn; that's a super nova.

(We need a "Oh, snap!" icon.)

5. I love seeing Carole King going nuts when Aretha is singing!

[Rhiannon12866]

9. They were actually honoring Carole King, but I think this performance meant more to her...

Another great show!

10. Thanks! He's always stellar, but this show was exceptional!

Except the part when he announced he'll "be on vacation" for two weeks.

Recommended 100x.

11. Thanks! I agree this was an exceptional show, even for Colbert

I don't know what we'll do without him, he said they're going on vacation for two weeks. And it looks like the other late night shows are going to be in repeats next week too.

12. On the Aretha Franklin tribute I just wanna say: Way to get out of the way Mr Colbert.
