The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is the premier late night talk show on CBS, airing at 11:35pm EST, streaming online via CBS All Access, and delivered to the International Space Station on a USB drive taped to a weather balloon. Every night, viewers can expect: Comedy, humor, funny moments, witty interviews, celebrities, famous people, movie stars, bits, humorous celebrities doing bits, funny celebs, big group photos of every star from Hollywood, even the reclusive ones, plus also jokes.
The vibe of this reminded me of when no one was at school on like one of the last days of the year and the teacher is way more relaxed with everyone
absol YES DEAD ON- was wondering why this energy was familiar
this is so accurate. im dying

@Katie Marshall take care lol
They should do a no-audience “Late Show” more often.
Not all the time, but once in a while.
I don’t think they’ll have a choice for awhile, unless they build plastic enclosures for each audience member to have their own personal space. We have entered the time of cholera whenwe must not breathe on each other.
Gary Cooper yeah it’s awesome when there’s a show with no fucking audience
Gary Cooper https://youtu.be/DOeuIqaic3U this guy must be stopped
Once a month. I could do with a dozen of these a year.
I found this one surprisingly hilarious due to Stephen sharing with us his anxieties and being homest with us!!! Super funny in the face of this terror lol.
Homesty is the best pomesty!
Colbert was caught off-guard however, he made a magnificent interception after the fumble. Way to go, I laughed to tears.
I never thought watching someone else listening to piano music could be so funny 🙂
It’s almost eerie without an audience. Stay safe y’all.
You as well
Frank Parent take a look at this https://youtu.be/DOeuIqaic3U
To help make up for the lack of a studio audience here are my laughs:
Heh
Haaahahaha!
Heheh
Hehaaaaa!
Huhaha
“When we come back, more of whatever this is” 😂🤣
Steven takes a glug from his large glass of bourbon.
“I think this is going well.”
Please don’t stop doing shows, Steven. America needs you, now more than ever.
Jon how about you. Weed Stephen but I can’t say that on air. So drink your drink.
Cripes, I always thought that bourbon was some sort of vanilla flavoured tea…
I remember seeing him when he was on Comedy Central. I miss Colbert the character sometimes. I imagine he’d be denying the virus even exists.
Karina Flower literally nobody needs this shill
I bet there’s nothing but Iced tea in that glass! LOL
I love Stephen unhinged. Entertaining as hell. Just hope he’s doing okay and adjusting well enough.

@Severe Statements so, is this what you do? just go to random popular channels and post the same comment over and over, advertising your own channel, on videos that have nothing whatsoever to do with the topic you’re discussing?
Who needs an entire live audience of unpaid people when you have John the pianist? That’s so comforting, should bottle it.
Amber Hudelson well actually most game shows, talk shows and some sitcoms do have audience fillers basically people who are paid to fill seats.
John is cool.
Oh my god, I’m dying of laughter. Can we make Colbert + bourbon + “rehearsal” format a regular thing, like once a month or once every couple weeks?
Why not everyday.
If you live in southwest Texas your life and property are in danger of severe weather. check out my SS #13 video for more info.
id honestly watch this than any celebrity interviews
Maybe this is the future of television. Do not mention The Event.
If this were a Patreon, videos like this would be the perfect perk!
Stephen should go to a Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood set-up until he gets his audience back.
9:30 I was fully expecting Jon to play a smoky jazz ballad… maybe “Misty”, “Blue in Green”, “How High the Moon…” NOT expecting Chopin! Way to go, Jon!
Colbert mentions his “secret show” in Monroe, Michigan in 2015. He did this at Monroe Public Access Cable Television in 2015, between his gigs on the Colbert Report and The Late Show. My wife and I were camera operators for that show.
You guys got Eminem to appear on that show, right?
^ annd redundant Q, my bad
@Phalanx Exactly!
That’s so awesome. I remember watching that when I lived in Monroe 🙂
“How’s it going?”
“It’s moving. It’s moving”
_So are my food poisoned bowels…_
John is such a delightfully cultured troll with that music selection. I love him so much.
I’ll confess I’m uncultured on this. What was the song? Thanks.
@Damon Ferrara F. F. Chopin Prelude in E minor op. 28 No. 4
best laugh i had in a while,
Hang on, explain further for us uncultured. I kinda knew it was Chopin, but why is that an inside joke?
Steven had me wondering if he was sick at the start. Guess he’s just been drinking. Fun show but keep it together Steven, we need you!
The Drunk Monk He did a lap around the audience seats when he came out (just before this clip) so he was winded.
I hope there’s a huge TV audience watching this. These no-live-audience performances are going to be historic, many years from now. Ya think?!!
Potentially one of the most amazing moments of this show, reality knocking at the door of the man who shows us the pain of the world through a comedic light, and still he gives us a reason to smile. I could feel the anxiety at times, it sort of felt like this was the last tv broadcast before the end of the world, yet despite this, Stephen Colbert, the man, the myth, the legend perseveres. Truly a hilarious, beautiful and amazing episode that I won’t soon forget. Thank you for being you Stephen.
Jon: I actually don’t know how I am.
Stephen: What do you mean you don’t know who you are?
That was the moment I realized this was gonna be a sweet clip
No one:
Stephen Colbert: Trump bad lol
Audience: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
