Late Show in the Media

[Raradra]

For me, this is the most interesting part of the article from that tweet:

Quote

CBS said that Obama will sit down with Colbert for an “extended” in-person interview conducted in Washington, DC.

Anyway, I can't wait.

President Obama be making the talk show rounds. But that picture is from when "Colbert" interviewed him in 2016, I think.

Yeah that’s from their 2016 interview.

Here's the Vanity Fair interview mentioned in the article:

“Look At What We Love. It’s on Fire”: Stephen Colbert on Trump Trauma, Leadership, and Loss

It's a great interview and it's kind of a shame that most other sites seem to focus on his vertigo issue, like that's the only important thing to learn from the interview.

Thanks for posting that.  It was a wonderful read.  And I was going to quote the line about putting cheese on his sandwich, but I closed the tab and don't have any more free articles left - oh well, you'll have to trust it was hilarious. 

[Raradra]

I assume you meant this part:

Quote

From off camera, his wife, Evie McGee, enters the room to remind Colbert to do his prescribed vertigo exercises and ask what kind of sandwich he wants for lunch (egg, avocado, bacon, he says, and while she’s at it, “throw some cheese in the motherfucker”).

 

[roseha]

Thanks very much for that great article!   I really liked Stephen's quote to the effect of serenity being more important than happiness.

I hope his vertigo won't be a long term problem.

Jon has an Oscar!!

[Annber03]

Woo! Dang, he's just racking up the awards, isn't he :D? 

Congratulations to him, that's fantastic. 

[catlover79]

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Congratulations, Jon!!! 😊

[Annber03]

Aw, he's so happy, I love it :D.

Looking sharp in that tux, too. 

[ebk57]

I just watched a Washington Post Live with Jon.  He's amazing.  If I ever again say I couldn't love him more, remind me that I'm wrong.

I'll post the YouTube as soon as the Post posts it!

Actually, you can watch it on the Post site, although I can't say whether it counts as one of your articles if you're not a subscriber.  I'll still post the YT link when it appears.  Enjoy!

And........here's the YouTube.

 

[possibilities]

His appearance on James Corden's show was really enjoyable, as well. His small moments on The Late Show don't show nearly all of his dimensions.

[ebk57]

Thanks for reminding me that I need to watch the Cordon segment.

Stephen was on NPR's "Fresh Air" earlier this week and he does talk a bit about broadcasting from "the closet" - hear the interview here:

I mean, was it Evie and their son, respectively?

How much fun would it be to dance with Stephen! I wanna!

OH FFS. 'Colbert' is trending on Twitter because that clip has gone viral and some people who don't like Chuck Schumer are criticising him for dancing with Stephen while Afghanistan is in crisis. 😢

Have those people stopped all the fun and relaxing things in their life because of the situation in Afghanistan?

Or, you know, the pandemic, forest fires, animal extinction, etc, etc. I would have certainly gone mad, if I didn't have those short moments of fun.

After many times Jon Favreau has been on Stephen’s couch, he just did a great interview with Stephen on his Offline Pod Save America podcast. They talk about his shows with no audience vs audience, spending time online, Evie, January 6, comedy, cancel culture/consequences, politics, and much more.

So what's the deal with reports of nine Colbert staffers, including Robert Smigel, being arrested for illegal entry to congressional offices in the Capitol yesterday.

Is it really illegal if Adam Schiff let them in?

I'm not a lawyer.  I don't know.  But I would tend to think that they fact that they were kicked out for lack of credentials and then came back to be arrested probably means it is.

I have zero confidence that will have any bearing on anything though.

It looks like they stayed after on their own to film additional elements inside the building.

There are policies and protocols you have to follow and can anyone really 'blame' the Capitol Police for not fucking around when it comes to anyone deviating from that? Camera crew or not?

[shapeshifter]

No charges for ‘Late Show’ crew arrested on Capitol Hill  

Quote

. . . A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office said it was not probable a conviction could be obtained and sustained given that the nine arrested had been invited and that their escorts had never asked them to leave the building. . . .

Capitol Police officials said Monday they respect the decision made by the U.S. attorney’s office.

So no charges because they weren't asked by their escort to leave,

Their staff escorts didn't ask them to leave because their staff escorts left them unattended despite both the staff escorts and the group being told they could not be unescorted.

I wonder if Colbert's crew got some people fired over this.

I guess all that brouhaha of announcing each couple is one way to be sure there aren't any party crashers like they had during the Obama's time. I forget who it was. (The crashers were very forgettable posers.)

But were they all couples? 
Like Noah's Ark?
