      Season 5 – The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

      2019 Talk Show Comedy List
      Reviews 48% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score Improv actor and comic Stephen Colbert flexes the hosting muscles he honed over nearly 1,500 episodes of the popular and critically celebrated "The Colbert Report" at the helm of this long-running late-night talk show. Following the genre's classic formula, each show kicks off with a monologue and a look at recent headlines, and features sketch comedy, celebrity interviews and musical performances. The show is filmed in New York's famed Ed Sullivan Theater, the longtime home of "The Late Show." Read More Read Less

      葆 葆 Great job, Stephen. Great writing and intelligent satire that apparently goes over most people's heads considering the audience's rating. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I truly love Stephen Colbert and think he's incredibly talented and highly intelligent. What I don't like is the writing. He needs to get some new writers because some of the material Stephen has to deliver is way below par, and would perhaps only be found amusing by teenage boys after they've had a few glasses of cider. The writing is simply too juvenile for someone of Colbert's calibre and stature. Please. Better writers. Jon Baptiste is fantastic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Bill H He is overly angry, constantly interrupts his guests, seems to think it's all about him and is no longer funny. The Colbert Report is surely missed. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/20 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
