Colbert is a badass. I hope he continues to be the brave voice of considerate, thoughtful people for decades to come. With that being said, I have noticed a common thread among the people that do not like him. They keep using "Progressive" like it's a bad thing, so I went to what I consider a neutral source: the Merriam Webster Thesaurus, and looked up the synonyms and antonyms. This is what I found:

I was touched by how much Stephen seemed to be emotionally uplifted by the audience and doing the show, saying at one point that he needed the show as much or even more than they needed him. He repeatedly came back to this point of how good it made him feel to do the show, and how much it gave back to him despite the amazing amount of work and hassle that can go into putting it together. I love this kind of truthful people connection. <3

Stephen can be goofy and silly on the show....but especially in a context like this interview, you really get a sense for just how ferociously intelligent and serious he is as a human being. He's done his homework on a lot of subjects. There's something a wee bit intimidating about his intellect....and I love it. I adore people who are in the top 1% in terms of intelligence....and I think it's clear Stephen is in that echelon. Much respect...

Randall Davis

@lovely 808 Absolutely.Most people don't understand.

First Name Last Name

The comment was not indicating that Stephen was the most intelligent person on earth and your condescending attitude is absolutely why people like Stephen are unique because he would never talk down to others, his ego is not overblown and he does not have a sense of superiority.

Lordalexzader

@Militant Poet your hubris is wafting. Please, stand downwind.

ina salni

it's a weird time we live in when Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Philip Defranco, Tim Pool etc. deliver more relevant, exact and researched news topics than the actual news. Sad but through the tears of laughter.
sadly the intelligence and common sense is not that common 1%, while the rest of 99 just want to be right, no matter how dumb, as long as ''right''.

Mr. P

I see him as the opposite.

No, you are not. He had the roadmap of what they needed to cover in the time allotted and without ever cutting Stephen short he kept them on it and moving forward. He had done his homework too. He knew what was important and what people wanted to hear. Stephen didn't leave a lot of need for follow up. He was articulate yet affable, and he didn't interject his own personality into it. He was not intended to be the comedic counterpoint to Stephen. A tough spot to be in. Job well done, I say.

What an amazing and demanding schedule . Stephen's commitment to truth and humanity drives him and seems to lift his comedian talents to the quickness and sharpness that is happening every night on his show . His genuine friendly demeanor has earned everyone's trust and has led to great honest and open interviews. He is today's best late night host and possibly of all time. His viewers love him and look to him for the truth and a shot against poor behavors. He is a hero for the sole .
Stay safe and healthy Stephen Colbert ... We need you !

As a permanent resident who cannot vote, yet has lived in this country for many years, I was literally in a state of shock election night. I have since that night gravitated toward Stephen Colbert because there is comedic intellect in his delivery which on a daily basis one is desperately in need of to make sense of the sheer madness that occurs. The White House is 21.3 miles literally away and it’s sobering to think that this craziness is made easier because of this thoughtful, smart, comedic man.

When the Colbert Report first aired I was around 14 years old living in a very small, very conservative Kentucky town. I was reaching to find people who thought more like I did instead of what I was constantly surrounded by. I got soo into the Colbert Report and have been just drawn to this man ever since. I'm now 26 and still look to him as sort of a father figure lol. Just seems like such a genuine person and sharp to boot! Keep doing you Mr. Colbert, much of us would be lost in this crazy political world without you!

We are so lucky to have observers like Colbert and Jon Stewart on the scene at this troubling time, carrying on the tradition of what Will Rogers was doing nearly a century earlier.

As an Aussie who grew up on great English comedy of the Goons, Milligan, Cook and Moore, & Python and who has followed Stewart and Colbert for the last seven years it is great to see the U S create quality, intelligent, ironic comedy with self deprecating manner and humility........Hope he offers a cathartic 'meal' for the nation which as to deal with a democracy which appears, from the outside, to have turned into a corrosive 'duocracy'....

I know that this originally aired a year ago, but I loved the insight that he gave us into the makings of his show - which I adore because of the humor and great wit. His skill set of being a "comedic actor" (in his own words) actually prepared him greatly for this role. And, to answer this interviewer's question of whether Colbert added fuel to the fire about the present day POTUS -- he didn't do that at all; he actually brought some comic relief to what has been a horrible administration and gave us balance to our days in knowing that we aren't alone in this shocker of a President. After being shell-shocked by so many of the POTUS' actions, we could look to Colbert with knowledge of having another perspective so eloquently said, which lightened the load we were bearing in our horrors. It was an honor listening to this for the first time, as we get nearer to the day we can share our voices at the election polls (in less than 100 days!).

It's good to see the evolution of journalism to include reality and levity. I never thought a comedy show could be an advocate for democracy in the face of Russian backed propaganda, but to counter Fox News, we had to learn to laugh at the "news" with the comedians that told us the truth.

@Little Blue Owl Don't be that guy. You're implying that the only reason I could dislike Trevor is because of the color of his skin, which is a racist position for you too hold. It's akin to saying someone who doesn't like Hilary has to be sexist. No, you can dislike a woman without disliking her because she's a woman and you can dislike a black man without disliking them because they're black. I don't mind him being black at all, I really don't care one way or the other. I mind how pro-establishment he is (so long as the establishment is Democratic) and how he doesn't have the balls to hold or express any unpopular opinions.

The fact that you want to immediately imply I'm a racist just because I dislike a comic/host that you like is very disappointing, and you should stop doing so. That's how people who don't have good arguments to support their views argue.

Little Blue Owl

@Beta Factor Trevor is amazing and Jon is very proud of him. He's done a wonderful job.
