sky all summer. they had nowhere to fire off. we ll see how long they can keep up the energy. i thought the bush thing was the best part of the show and tightly edited. more to say, they were cutting him off a couple times. i liked that a lot. i thought that was the real colbert there. who is the real colbert? he came out with the national anthem. he s going to be sincere. that s what it is. also, he s going to be broad. he s going to sing. he did single. going to be whacky, too. a joyful gesture. he s not a cynic or discontent. he s a different kind. he s going to have to find something specific. maybe it s what you saw with jeb. it s one show. i think he was, you know, trying to do so much in one show. the show is too blue. everything in the show is blue.
with this show, as many people have asked, with this show, i begin the search for the real stephen colbert. i just hope i don t find him on ashley madison. obviously setting his character from comedy central, figuring out the real him. i m curious to see how long he can keep that going, that idea he s searching for the real colbert. but it certainly worked last night. and by the way, he still did a pretty traditional monologue. people wondered if he was going to blow up the format of late night. maybe at a time when everything feels like it s changing in tv, it s nice to have some things stay the same. there s the desk, the monologue. yes, it is on the left side, that was a change, but if that s what passes for change in late-night, some things are definitely staying the same. he appeals to millennials. there have been some people brought up on news, quite frankly, knowing the jon stewart, the stephen colbert take on things. it seems to me he wants to show some seriousness, even
am, i hope they ll find out pretty quickly that the guy they saw for ten years was my sense of humor the whole time. it is i guess flattering that people thought i was an actual pundit for a newsman eventually over the years, but it s really nice to not have to pretend it anymore. yes, the real colbert making his premiere tonight. there will be a couple pieces of memorabilia from his old show on the stage however. pretty much everything else is being kept a tightly guarded secret but we do know george clooney and jeb bush will be the big first guests tonight, carol. and there will be a host of politicians to follow, right? there will. most interestingly joe biden on thursday. lots of speculation that maybe he will drop some hints about a presidential bid on thursday night. next week he actually has a sitting supreme court justice, stephen breyer. when is the last time you saw a supreme court justice on a late night show? the two most interesting guests are from the business world
himself. i worked really hard to be that other guy for ten years. but thank god you know who i am. i hope they find out pretty quickly that the guy they saw for ten years was my sense of humor for sometime. it is, i guess, flattering that people thought i was an actual pundit over the years. but it s really nice to not have to pretend it anymore. reporter: so starting tonight we ll see who the real colbert is. already a few fans who have lined up who want to make sure they re guaranteed a seat inside tonight. just to give you a sense of the booking battle that s going on carol, we know that jimmy fallon also wants these political guests. he has donald trump later this week. colbert s show wanted hillary clinton for tonight s show. she declined because she s going on fallon instead. nbc confirming she ll be on fallon s show next week,
media, you included hype everything in a 24/7 news cycle, called making news not reporting it. stephen colbert feeling anxious, not because he s taking over david letterman s show next month but wants to be on air making trump jokes now, reducing him to what he called dry trumping. colbert played a cable blow hard on comedy central would do less politics, but his first guest would be jeb bush and another dream guest in mind. it s not an invitation, mr. trump, this is a dare. i dare you to come on the show. and hey, trump might do it. he does everything else. here s helping the real colbert is real balanced than his clownish character that ridiculed conservatives. thanks for joining us. we hope you like our facebook page. we post a lot of original content there and respond to videos. we re back here i always give
