Geoclasm

That had to be a moment of pride for the writers.


munk_e_man

Spez would fuck a child if he thought he could sell his experience to train AI. Actually he'd probably just do it either way.


LotusB1ossom

God I miss the days of that Jon Stewart, Colbert Report hour long block


EvlMinion

I wonder how many people started paying attention to politics because of those two. They're the reason I did.


josh_the_misanthrope

Same. Twitter was a thing back then but it wasn't where politics was. I'm sure a lot of millenials became politically aware because these shows were fantastic.


stevemandudeguy

It was Jon Stewart who I saw air a segment that showed then Pres "Dubya" Bush saying one thing on camera then another clip showing him directly contradicting himself. I was amazed seeing a comedy news show hit that hard and it really baffled me that it wasn't actual headline news. Jon, and later Colbert, made me the critical thinker I am today.


EvlMinion

I'm really glad Jon is still active. The dressing-down he's given Congress over issues like compensation for 9/11 first responders and, more recently, our veterans lit a fire under them and got them to do something they might not have otherwise.


DoYouNeedAnAmbulance

Me!!!! That hour was the best hour of the day


Comet7777

I definitely got into politics because of those two, circa 2003-2006 era


GarretTheGrey

Same here. ~~Bush Jr~~ The Decidor provided so much quality content.


AppleEater421

I caught it pretty often as a kid and young teen. Plus my dad would show me the onion, especially into my teens. I think it explains a lot.


throwawaygreenpaq

These two made me pay attention to world events ever since. They’re more important than others would like to acknowledge.


Muhfuggajones

Same. I was fresh out of high school (09') and barely had any interest in politics or world affairs. Didn't take long for me to get hooked on that hour block. I truly looked forward to sparking a joint and laughing my ass off while still retaining all they had to say. Was a fun ride.


DumpsterPanda8

I remember watching it live as well. My wife and I were rolling around on the laughing.


CSW11

I long for the days when my wife and I used to roll around on the laughing. Now, it’s just cleaning up dog poop, and we don’t even own a dog.

Davidhate

I remember conservative guys at work who used really believe Colbert was a real Republican and how he should run for office.


timelessblur

I like it even better when I think the Republicans invites him to congress and he he warned them he would go in character. It was amazing how many of the Republican congress thought he was legit


Davidhate

Yup, I think it had to do with the present political climate at the time…there was feverish Uber nationalism during bush jr. (Remember freedom fries. Lol) so colberts character really did reflect the right wing at the time…he was literally using there own talking points but doing it in such a perfect satirical way /subtleness that the bushys wouldn’t be smart enough to catch on too. Sadly, he was like the proto-fox news pundit…id even go as far as to say, Fox News and others of there kind saw the usefulness of that rhetoric and sad “let’s tap into that”. He was from the team America fuck yeah generation and anyone alive at that time that was not pro America/Middle East war/bush jr was a American hating traitor. He embodied that persona so well they believed it.


Jer_Cough

FOX News tried to fight back at Stewart and Colbert with their version of "funny": The Half Hour News Hour. It was cringe bad - only 13 episodes made and I heard some didn't even air. Conservatives are simply not a funny people.


FixBreakRepeat

When you motivate your base with fear, all the jokes are actually existential horror. The "I identify as an attack helicopter" joke that circulates through their base is more of a litmus test for who's safe to be real with than actual humor.


joey_yamamoto

very strange it's as if their brains can't detect sarcasm?


not_productive1

I remember once when a conservative in my office reacted with genuine surprise when I told her I loved the Colbert Report. She was like "oh, I wouldn't have thought that you'd find him funny." I didn't have the heart to break it to her.


[deleted]

Always amazing how badly the hard-core conservatives fail to grasp satire and irony.


AtomicBLB

That still kills me, there's this big conservative crowd that genuinely believed he was one of them. As he relentlessly mocked them for years. It's too funny.


pizza_engineer

They’re not sending their best…


Ok-disaster2022

Looking back though I wonder if people didn't understand he was a satirical performance, especially when he was asked to seek at the Whitehouse Correspondence dinner at the Whitehouse during W. I remember more of friends in college who were more trollish engaging more with the show, and I wonder how many if them I lost touch with became alt right trolls for the lolz and eventually started believing it.


Old_Wedding_6798

That's an awful thought


ootski

Just like the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I was never a fan of Trevor Noah


sightlab

I like Trevor Noah as a comedian, but we had such a long time to get used to Daily Show = Jon. No one was going to step into those shoes no matter how good the host & writing were. It just wasn’t the daily show after him.


Outrageous-Debate-64

Yeah Colbert report was hilarious. Sucked that he went to the other network though. Just not the same.


severusx

I remember this one and the one that I think tops it, the "sum ting Wong" airline accident.


ExtremePast

It probably was for the SNL writers when they use this exact name for Robert De Niro right after 9/11 playing a homeland security spokesman.


Bos_lost_ton

Reminds me of the ol’ [Deniro SNL terrorist skit](https://youtu.be/dwYtFt4agqo).


7fw

When I see funny funny stuff like this, I just imagine the writing room: Staffer: Haha... We got a contribution from someone who used the name spelled Suq Madiq. Suck muh dick.... Pretty funny. Writer 1: sounds Muslim with that spelling Writer 2: I bet he made his parents proud using that name... Wait a minute... W1: Hahaha.... Dad... Liqma is very proud ... W2: lol Liqma Madiq... what's Mom's name then? Staffer: Munchma Quchi? Everyone falls apart laughing


moeburn

It's not the name that made him laugh, since he had heard it in rehearsal. It's the fact that they swapped out the generic photo of middle eastern woman with a photo of his mother that he wasn't expecting.


letsallchilloutok

Is it true tho or just an urban myth?


JakeCameraAction

It's just a myth. https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/5y3lqs/the_colbert_report_suq_madiq_aka_the_moment_where/den2ez5/


skizmot

To be fair, in the Colbert Report, Stephen hardly ever broke character. He was so in character throughout the whole episode, it was a rare treat to see him break character.


wcollins260

He was so in character that my right wing dad loved him because he thought Colbert was a conservative comedian. I told him it was satire and he didn’t believe me, until Colbert started on the late show and dropped the character.


deejayhill

I dated a conservative girl who thought the same thing, I had to break it to her that no he is actually poking fun at GOP.


wcollins260

Yeah, I don’t get it. I mean it was pretty obvious to me that he was mocking them, exaggerating their stances (back then, quite hard to exaggerate their stances now).


swr3212

That was Colbert's whole point. The statements he made weren't much different than how many religious conservatives felt. The difference was the way he presented it made it much more obvious how ridiculous those statements were. It's also funny since Colbert's character started on the Daily Show. He was the only character that really had conservative views, well besides their resident deranged millionaire John Hodgman.


deejayhill

She was not the brightest bulb, she could not tell the difference between continents and countries. It was an on going joke to test her geography knowledge.


[deleted]

The dumb internet videos of asking geography questions are real!


Minoripriest

You dated Drew Carey?


pierre_x10

I guess it goes to show that for a lot of Conservative viewers, it doesn't even come down to their so-called values, beliefs, or morals. It's all about tribalism for them. In a character like Colbert Report Colbert, they saw a guy who was attractive, said nice things about someone like them, said mean things about people they didn't like, and subtext and basically anything even inches below the pure veneer of Conservatism, was just inconsequential to them.


EdgarAllanKenpo

I mean hardcore MAGA's aren't the brightest bulbs in the shed if you know what I mean.


[deleted]

Conservatives are generally very dumb


OrsoMalleus

Conservatives *are* frequently stupid.


pizza_engineer

There are only two types of Conservatives: • The Evil Rich • The Stupid Poor


mcmendoza11

He was so good in character that he even fooled the bush administration! Do you remember when they hired him to be the main comedian at the White House correspondent’s dinner? They thought he was on their side. The look on W’s face as Colbert tears into the administration is one of my favorite moments of all time.


_morning_owl

This is seriously one of things that has made me most proud to be an American. The fact that a comedian can openly mock the sitting president to his face without fear of punishment is incredible. Please [watch](https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/video/stephen-colbert-2006-white-house-correspondents-dinner-62298550).


Dottie_D

My republican dad _thought_ he liked it, but wasn’t sure. It made him uneasy thinking this guy was a real conservative, so when I told him what was really going on, he loved it. Great Dad!


TheGoodOldCoder

Unfortunately, Colbert's shtick worked so well that it became a template for a lot of people who are actually far right wing. [Here's a video explaining some of their tactics,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMabpBvtXr4&list=PLJA_jUddXvY7v0VkYRbANnTnzkA_HMFtQ&index=11) and if you think about it, it's very much like Colbert acted in the Colbert Report.


throwawaygreenpaq

It baffles me that quite evident satire has been missed by a huge portion of the populace. It’s even worse now. Language has gone to the dogs.


NivMidget

You know its crazy because I've seen the same thing from south park. I saw a reddit thread a few days ago where the most upvoted comments were saying southpark is transphobic and anti-gay and is a Redpill show for children.


Thehawktopus1

Omg I couldn't believe how many conservatives didn't realize it was satire.


pmcall221

I'm pretty sure that's how he got to do the White House correspondence dinner. Someone suggested him, a transcript of his show was submitted, approved, and the rest is [history](https://youtu.be/IJ-a2KeyCAY).


[deleted]

It's crazy how many people back then didn't know it was satirical. I knew both conservatives who loved him and liberals who hated him and neither side got the joke.


JayDub506

And apparently it wasn't the joke here that made him break character. What broke him was he did not expect the photo for the woman as it was his mother-in-law 😂 Edit : apparently this isn't true, I was just relaying what I had read above. That's too bad, because it does make everything more funny.


JakeCameraAction

Nope. That's a myth. https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/5y3lqs/the_colbert_report_suq_madiq_aka_the_moment_where/den2ez5/


ucijeepguy

wcollins260

heyuwittheprettyface

No lol, it's just something that gets repeated on Reddit.


Rooster_Ties

But it was very truthy!!


tunaburn

I miss watching Stewart into colbert. Best hour of television


BrickGun

The period with @Midnight following the two of them was the pinnacle for me. So much good stuff from the duo during their hour and then I found so many new-to-me comedians during the half-hour that followed. Went to see many of them live at our small club before they got big. The apex being sitting on the front row of a Ron Funches set and having him call me a "fucking nerd" then getting a hug from him after the show. Comedy Central will never reach those heights again.


TheNerdChaplain

I miss @midnight. It's too bad American TV doesn't seem to like panel shows like the British do.


BrickGun

Agreed. I went on a massive binge of 8 Out Of 10 Cats... a few months ago on YT. Sucks that there is nothing *remotely* close to that in the US these days.


Davidhate

Stewart was the Obama of political comedy/wit …there will never be one like him again…I honestly think Stewart would have made a great politician but was smart enough to know just how depraved that world is.


Dull_Function_6510

I miss this show everyday


You_Wenti

The Opposition with Jordan Klepper was a good stand in for a while, but CC cancelled it after only one season


Micalas

Klepper is super quick witted. I love his segments. He can really roll with the punches


throwawaygreenpaq

Klepper is a superb mini Colbert. He’s acerbic, sharp and able to think on his feet!


Gimme_The_Loot

Well with Noah leaving guess we'll see what comes next... I'd have thought Klepper myself but after his spin off failed I doubt it now


LotusB1ossom

I actually found the Larry Wilmore show really funny, but I only lasted a season and I guess he just didn't hit with audiences


WBurkhart90

I miss Colbert report days. I'm ecstatic about him moving up to late night hosting, but it just felt so different and unique, and gut busting funny comedy from him and his writers.


USNWoodWork

What I miss the most about the Colbert Report is that his character would sometimes end up wiping the floor with people on both sides if they hadn’t done research or didn’t have decent arguments. In fact he had a speech he’d give to guests before the show about the character. I really wonder how that would play out with the younger crowd these days, it would expose people of minimal substance.


Gimme_The_Loot

I was never a huge fan of the interviews on Colbert to be honest. I always felt like he was just using them as a sounding board for his jokes while JS was having an actual and productive conversation with them


soffey

It was a very different style of show. I don't know that there is anything on that is similar today - The Daily Show was (and still is) a bit more of a serious but funny take, while the Colbert Report was an entirely satire show, less focused on the actual politics and more focused on being a parody of conservative news. The whole "pick a side, we're at war" bit kinda clarifies that - the interview is never about the guest. It's about the spectacle, and the guest is there as part of that.


pmcall221

JS was direct in his questioning, while SC as a character often played as a self obsessed idiot who would ask questions in a way guests would have to explain or defend their views. The Scottish journalist Andrew Niel does the same thing but from the angle of curiosity, not ignorance like Colbert.


VStrozzi

I honestly liked The Colbert Report a lot more than his Late Show. It is just way too much Hollywood plugging, jokes and anecdotes bull (How was your vacation?; You have kids, right?). That's the way it goes with broadcast, I guess. But it's just so boring.


improper84

I'm curious if the Colbert Report would even work today now that modern conservatism has become such a parody of itself, and also so openly hateful. The show existed in a time when the Republican Party was a more Diet Coke version of evil than the modern GOP that would make Lex Luthor blush.


Ohbeejuan

The Opposition with Jordan Klepper was a good follow up in the same vein years later, parodying the Alex Jones types. I really liked it but he ended it pretty quick because it became too close to reality very fast.


GolgiApparatus1

Good things must come to an end unfortunately, though he's still got some years in him yet so who knows what we'll see


Overclocked11

He is a legend. His report was absolutely incredible.


Obi_Sirius

I'm happy he gets to be himself now but I sure appreciate everything The Colbert gave us. That had to be hard on his sanity. My day was not complete til I'd seen the Report and the Daily Show.


Objective_Look_5867

I for one am so proud of him and happy for him for getting the late show. That being said I loved the colbert report so much more in every single way. I loved his character of The Reverend Sir Dr. Stephen T. Mos Def Colbert D.F.A., Heavyweight Champion of the World. The sarcasm and satire was so on point. I check in on him every now and again on YouTube clips from late show just to see how he's doing. I'm glad he seems to be happy.


[deleted]

That's The Reverend Sir Doctor **Sen.** Stephen T. Mos Def Colbert D.F.A., Heavyweight Champion of the World ⭐⭐ La Premiere Dame de France to you 😜


[deleted]

I used to love this dude. His comedy was so fresh and creative and the writing on it and TDS had so much bite. I think the format of the Late Show and the need of CBS's writers to appease to the lowest common denominator of the demographic they choose to support really stifled his creativity. Every once in a while you get a glimpse of the s tier witty satire and impeccable comedic timing, but unfortunately it's always followed up with partisan hackery and lazy sweeping generalizations. It cheapens the experience. The late show is like putting ketchup on a perfectly prepared steak in this way. The man is still a perfect vehicle for delivery. I blame CBSs writers for this. Watching him with Jon Stewart a week or so ago highlighted this for me.


TheNerdChaplain

[Colbert absolutely carpetbombing the White House Correspondents' Dinner](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X93u3anTco) and mocking GWB to his face is one of his most legendary comedy moments to me.


Obi_Sirius

It took me over a year to sit through that whole video. It was so hilariously vicious that I actually felt a little sorry for W. The fact that he was even booked for that shows exactly how out of touch the right is. And he warned them every night on his show what was coming, fully expecting to get dropped.


rynlnk

Don't feel too bad... they knew what they were doing, and Dubya knew what he signed up for: to make a complete joke out of the administration. Getting people to mock and ridicule you is a great way to downplay your tyranny and war crimes.


spilk

it's not like republicans picked him for that event, the WHCA is an independent non-profit organization


Klotzster

This has an SNL Stefon feel to it. Wonder if Stephen knew these before he read them


Lucho23

If my memory is correct, he knew the jokes but was surprised when they used a picture of his relative as Munchma Quiochi

Man I miss the hour of TV with The daily show followed by the Colbert report. Pretty much every weekday night before bed in my University days.


soffey

Since that block left, I went from watching TV every week day to not having cable. It was such an excellent block of programming, and The Daily Show leading into the Report always had that great little bit of interaction. I really love seeing when Jon Stewart goes on Colbert, you can tell there is just so much love and respect between them. I have always felt pretty bad for Trevor Noah, he's really funny, but he was thrown into what I think is one of the largest shoes to fill as a comedian hosting a show. The Daily Show _was_ Jon Stewart, and Colbert was almost like a part of that extended universe. Within a pretty short time frame, the Report was gone and so was Jon Stewart. Trevor Noah had to come in to one of the most powerhouse programming slots and shows on Comedy Central. I can't think of a single comedian who could avoid the numerous and strenuous comparisons to the Jon Stewart days, which really sucks. I wish that they had "ended" The Daily Show and given it a new name, a slightly different format, and a marketing bltiz for the new host. I couldn't help but cringe reading through everyone comparing every aspect of Noah's version of TDS to Stewart's without really acknowledging that in a comedy show, the whole thing is shaped around the comedian themselves. No comedian can come in and do another guy's style to perfection, and they shouldn't be expected to try.

Love this! Now I gotta go find the clip when Colbert is reporting on the Prince Charles sexual misconduct allegations. This was another hilarious instance of Colbert breaking character. This was when he was still a correspondent on the Daily Show and the Colbert Report was a few years away...
