  • We love you

    Stephen Colbert was an intelligent, witty, hilarious talk show host and everyone benefitted from watching and listening to his show. It was a chance to relax and laugh and dance and cry all at once. He helped us realize that we all have a voice and we need to use our voices to lift each other up, to help our fellow Americans get through tough times and to celebrate the good all around us.

  • LOVE the show

    Good man.

    Went out with class.

    I’ll enjoy listening to old interviews to reminisce his joy and wit.

    Sad the circumstances on how he left.

    I can’t believe it’s gone. I’m in tears.

    Even the sound of the theme song could boost my mood.

    I just wanted to find like-minded folks to help me get through these terrible times.

    We need you and your team more than ever.

    Please, please, please find a way to get back on the air for these final two years of this horrendous orange sociopath.

    Without you and your team of writers, much of the unprecedented criminal govt activity would go under the radar.

Paul McCartney | Hello, Goodbye!
Q: What was your first impression of America when you arrived as a young musician?
McCartney describes America as the land of the free and a place where the music from the UK could find a new, expansive audience, marking a transformative moment for them.
Late Show Vocab | Terry Gross
Q: Do you recommend doing a show for 50 years?
