I appreciate when Stephen knows to just let the guest talk. Impressive young man.

[@humbledriver2536]

Chance is so entwined to not only the nuances of culture but specifically to the meaning of the tormented few. Such an inspiring genuine intelligent man

[@harrisonkathryn]

Amén to that

[@nkululekonazo5755]

Yes indeed 😊 that much is true.

[@laurenlaker]

I understand Chance the entertainer recognizing moments that are applause worthy. But I think the audience, like myself, was enthralled by Chance the Storyteller. Much love and respect to the greatly talented Chance the Rapper

[@ryanm4319]

He’s one hell of a person. I forget that “rappers” like Chance exist that truly love the music and creative process.

[@Maco777111]

You put rappers in quotes like there aren’t quite literally thousands of rappers making art and putting their body & soul into the process.

Feels good to know you had a great time in my country Gh. 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

What an amazingly eloquent, intelligent speaker! The kind of speaker that grabs your ear from the first word and does not let go until he is finished! Bravo!!

[@freda2758]

I concur. When he reminded people to applaud, it was as if he reminded us all to breathe. I was captivated by everything he was saying. He speaks almost in poetry.

[@joannejohnson7006]

[@freda2758]

I think the audience was silenced by his speaking because they were entrenched in what he was talking about, truly. He has the tongue of an old world scholar, and his description of his experiences were so captivating. I actually found myself waiting for him to say more when he reminded us to pause and give applause to the people he mentioned. I love a good speaker who enjoys intertwining old and new words. Hands down, Chance The Rapper is one of the best at this ability.

[@elliebluesea]

Chance is still humble but generous in talking up other artists & excited to introduce them to us. He uses his platform well.

They didn't do the bromance hug. That was a family reunion hug.

[@nicholasschoonbeck6866]

I often think about the difference between guests on Stephan's show & Trevor's show. Stephan has a lot of white actors, authors, or stage actors, there to promote their product, while Trevor features more people of color, who are sometimes selling a book or a documentary, but sometimes just talking about ideas. Its great to see a black person talking about blackness & how much we need to still think about how radical this is.

🤦🏼‍♂️Jesus was a Jew not white! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@kills26]

Jesus was not a real person, he is a work of fiction, you know they did not start to write about Jesus until 200 years after the supposed events. The human race is so stupid, we are nothing but social animals that do our best to conform with the pack. If I had not been born in a secular country there is a good chance I too would be sprouting religious nonsense.

@@AnnieONeill I watch Colbert because he is funny and I like him. I clicked on this video thinking great that is Chance the rapper, having watched some of his other stuff I expected to enjoy this segment. I did not enjoy this segment. I found Chance's interview to be pretentious nonsense and religious pandering babble. If people like God good for them, I am happy they are happy, but call me a cynic using God to sell product is crass and offensive.

Chance is so lame! #CancelChance

[@kills26]

Religious bs and I see he is going the way of Kanye West and is taking himself far too seriously. Sometimes you got to tell them to clap and that is when you lost me. OFC religious people upon hearing the very mention of God get quite excited and supportive, unless you are taking a humanist view point they don't like that so much.

[@c-rexintellect9722]

I really wish Steven had the decency Jon Stewart has. He wouldn’t piece apart episodes like you do here to cause harder time and more bs for viewers,solely to manipulate KZbin into making him more money. Like just make one video one episode…..it ain’t tough. Awfully shady and scammy

[@fashionguru16]

I have a rudimentary knowledge of Chance’s work, and I am impressed; but for some reason, when he mentioned his respect for Moses Sumney, my respect, and curiosity jumped a bit.
