You belong with Conan Bill

[@martinaee]

I love Stephen, but he definitely doesn't always have that twinge of *fuck-it* attitude that Conan has. You have to let it ALL go Stephen including the religion which is keeping you from seeing 100 percent through the bullshit. Unfortunately that's a part of who he is. Bill truly is able to see the bullshit with literally ANYONE out there which is what makes him one of the greatest stand up comedians of all time.

[@DekkarJr]

Couldn't have said it better myself. I loved Colbert as his character on his old show, but as himself on an actual talk show he is not a good interviewer. At least Fallon and Kimmel can laugh through it and give Burr room to do his rant style comedy, but Colbert just plods through this interview so passive aggressively it makes it really obvious that he didn't want to give Bill the time of day in the first place and the network probably forced him to do it because of his shows success and the fact that his easily in the top 3 funniest and currently successful touring comedians right now. Stephen comes off as sort of elitist in his way of trying way too hard with this show to be Letterman's successor (who also came off like an asshole when he sometimes interviewed people, but only did it when they deserved it and were making fools of themselves) + hes trying to be ahead of the pack on supporting the liberal SJW agenda that if he doesn't act this way towards a savage like Burr, who obviously has conflicting politics, then he'd get heat behind the scenes from his liberal bosses. He's stuck up is the bottom line.

[@simretsekhon586]

Big Head I was thinking the same thing the whole time!

[@druggiero227]

Yea Colbert sucks

[@rafaelavila9571]

Colbert the George Soros puppet hates Bill since he actually speaks against globalist bankers and not so much supports but doesn't completely hate Trump. That's the fucking truth.

[@IonaJonas]

Bill keeps tossing the ball to Colbert, and he just stands there.

[@mohammednasseif9210]

IonaJonas I've noticed that with Colbert. I like his monologues, but for some reason he doesn't conduct the best interviews. People like Conan and Kimmel, however, really bring out the best in guests because of their brilliant interactional style.

[@NicolasGodon]

Mohammed Nasseif in character back on comedy he was the shit though. interviews were his most solid, maybe cause he was in character

[@blackcallalily6540]

IonaJonas ..Colbert is as charismatic as a wet mop

[@zora99ny]

I've noticed that too. At first I was gonna say it has something to do with CBS and corporate policies but then I remembered that Letterman was a great interviewer who often didn't try to stay on "safe" topics.

[@NicolasGodon]

That depends a bit though. Letterman interviews were often really boring, with him beeing almost absent. Not saying Colbert is better, but... the format is quite... limited

[@benjoshua3049]

It's so ironic how Bill literally says the crowds are so bad cause he has to walk them through the joke, and then he has to literally walk Stephen and the crowd through the joke..

He is quite a bad interviewer of Bill Burr and the crowd is bad too. But it's not because he is competitive or insecure. At no point did he attempt to steal the spotlight or compete with him. You're just using this to insinuate your irrelevant personal opinions about Colbert. It was actually exactly the opposite, he was very passive and didn't give Burr anything. It was mostly the crowd that didn't appreciate Burr- it is probably a very politically correct NY crowd and Burr is too anti-PC for them.

At 4:35, the look Burr gives Colbert is priceless. He's supposed to be talking to a "comedian" and at that exact moment, he realizes the man across from him is just going to sit there and let him drown and has no concept of anything he's talking about.

Colbert's response after that moment is so abrupt that I wonder if there was a cut. I recall some late night shows edit down long interviews... The whole vibe of this felt so weird it wouldn't surprise me if there were chunks taken out.

[@ihateyoutube8789]

[@DekkarJr]

Rogan tries to make most of his podcast at least 2-3 hours because most people, at least first time guests, don't really open up all the way and get fully comfortable in an that sort of environment til around the 2nd hour and beyond. His show isn't really an interview style either, he sits and listens without interrupting or changing serious topics until the conversation is fully fleshed out. You can't really get past the facade that most people put up and get at the "meat" of who a person really is and what they really want to communicate til you get a few hours into getting to know them.

Colbert played a political pundit for so long, he has forgotten that he is actually a comedian. Burr gave him gold, and Colbert gave him nothing. Your job is to make your guests look good and keep things rolling, not stifle every joke. I'll catch you on Conan and Kimmel Billy Burr! God that was awkward.

He humiliated them so badly they pretended it never happened. the guy has brass balls and wont compromise. but he does it for principle, he cares about people. edited-got angry too quickly.

I love Stephen Colbert. I love Bill Burr. But this was one of the worst interviews I have ever seen with Bill Burr. And it wasn't even Bill Burr's fault. The crowd and Colbert seemed uneasy. Colbert seemed unprepared. I'll give Colbert the benefit of the doubt but Bill Burr deserved better treatment. I wonder if there is a story as to why this interview went down the way it did.

[@ashton1860]

Agreed. They're both great, but this interview left me wondering if there's some personal tension between them. I know Colbert can be a good host but he was anything but. I know Burr can be hilarious if he gets rolling but there was no momentum here. Bill usually shines in front of a less-than-receptive crowd, but he couldn't get going- as soon as he started getting big laughs from a rant, Colbert stops him with that curt-as-fuck 'we should probably show the clip, now.'

[@DonC23]

for real.... i love them both but this was so strange. I guess after seeing all of Burr's awesome interviews on Conan I had high standards haha. I love Colbert but he just doesn't seem to hit it off with a lot of his guests, wheras Conan always seems to know how to make people comfortable or save the interview when necessary.

[@ninakore]

Jessie Martinez Colbert, as much as I like him, is a fuckn square. His comedy is more sweet, hipster intellectual and Bill's is angry, masculine Bostonian. Conan is a better foil for him because he's a mix of both and can play a better straight man. I don't even know why Colbert has a talk show tbh. He was only ever good at being an angry, masculine character, ironically.

[@vyse102]

ninakore - I actually preferred Colbert when he played political blackface. His confidence in delivery and sarcastic zealotry paired well with each other (sarcasm being one of if not THE best way to undermine a bad argument and illuminate the faulty logic). I watched The Tonight Show for a few months before I finally had to give up on it, coming back periodically in the hope it was just growing pains. I'm just here to see Burr.

name its because he champion's for the side of political correctness. Notice the people in the audience who watch and follow his show? Bill even had to point out that the audience was so offended by his humor that he would be "washed up in 6 months" when he pointed out how sensitive people were when he told his lesbian joke. As the great Mel Brooks recently said, political correctness will be the death of comedy. This is a good example.

Julie, interesting perspective. Maybe this is just how he is with successful comics. I'm a bit curious to see him & Gervais now, but this clip doesn't exactly make me excited to watch more Colbert. All I know is, if Burr had a chance to chat with Letterman, there's no way Dave would have treated him like that. Too bad that Bill only had a chance to do stand up on Letterman.

[@markbushne]

Christopher Micik - I truly enjoyed Colbert on the daily show and then on the Colbert Report. He was a great comic someone that I could always "go to" to make me laugh.

I think both of them were just having an off night here. Colbert was doing a decent job setting Bill up, I think, Bill just wasn't in the best mood. Maybe he was tired (I think these TV spots come in waves, so this probably wasn't his only one this week). "So nothing out there makes you mad?" - Could there be a better setup for a comedian like Bill Burr to go into something? He just didn't really have energy. "I dunno, taking your socks off on airplanes?" The dead audience and what I assume is atrocious editing also doesn't help: "I just want to whack on the bottom of this guy's feet until he takes them down." "You moved here in '95?" XD
