I have nothing to add, but I wanna say his first appearance on Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend is one of my favorite episodes. It’s not necessarily funny, but it’s a fascinating conversation nonetheless.
Oh, and if anyone hasn’t watched Strangers with Candy yet, track it down and watch it! Easily top 10 underrated comedies of all time.
This dude is a lot more than this Late Show.
It’s on Paramount+ and he was great as Mr. Noblet.
Plus he is absolutely fucking timeless as Phil from Harvey Birdman.
Yesss!!! I love Harvey Birdman! One of my many Adult Swim comfort watches.
I occasionally come back to the time Colbert sat down with Anderson Cooper and they got onto the subject of the deaths of their parents; Colbert gave some deep answers, and Cooper went down a rabbithole afterwards of collecting stories about grief and the grieving process.
There’s more to the man than the late-show format allows to show, certainly.
Too late, they’ve already spent all that subscriber money on fucking wrestling.
He has to have piles of money by now. Is there anything stopping him from just launching his own thing? Who cares about the networks they are dinosaurs anyhow.
Excellent line
