Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, the #1 show in late night, where he talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology and more. Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and “THE LATE SHOW band,” the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.

The only thing I don't like about The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is when they take two weeks off and leave me alone in the dreary world to face reality by myself.

"World's fastest car" is one step closer to reality? There has always been a world's fastest car in one form or another since the invention of the automobile.

True. At one point, the first automobile was the fastest car, by a wide margin.

Well, technically there wasn't one before the first car was invented.

That tdf kiss was actually super quick. The fine was about $250. The tour went thru his home town and they basically mobbed him cheering him on so he almost had to stop anyway. Lol. The tdf governing body UCI claimed the kiss brought shame to the tdf. Then other riders showed previous kisses but happened to not be on official cameras and didnt get caught. He says he would pay it anyday. She was holding their infant.

[@charityquill4965]

It sounds like a really dumb rule. Like as long as he isnt blocking the path of the other cyclists, the only thing it hurts is his own race time. Like I wouldnt advise a guy in a 100 meter dash to stop at the very end to wave to his family, but he shouldnt be punished if he chose to do so

[@janefreeman995]

@charityquill4965 Yes, he's currently in 29th place out of 168 riders, and that's really good! His role is of a domestique, sheparding the team leader, creating drafts and strategies. He's some twelve minutes down on the leaders, so a few seconds doesn't make a difference for him. The tdf does have a public face, and the teams have their sponsors, but special moments like this in a career are not only appropriate but heartening for that overall image. :) This was during one day of the tdf where individual riders were spaced a few minutes apart against the clock, so it didn't impede anyone else and the tour happened to go thru his home town.... :)

We already passed our Foodmageddon, if you ask me, when they stopped trying to artificially recreate flavors from nature and instead started insisting that their new products were flavored after other things that were artificial. For example, when the energy drinks started coming in "Skittles" and "Sourpatch Kids" flavor.

[@Ian-ie3hy]

Cheetos macaroni and cheese

[@yudithcaron8053]

That trend started with the Blue Raspberry "flavor", when they realized that it was way easier to create a Skittles flavor than to replicate the taste of a blueberry.

[@bubblingbubztheklown5902]

Dude all the flavors they artificially create are just the same... It's gross fake apple is always green apple... Grape is always concord grade... Lemon and lime are always the same flavor, berry doesn't even exist as a flavor... 😅 Sorry I quit smoking and then started blind taste testing things and it all just higher or lower citric acid flavors.... Only time fruits taste real are in alcoholic drinks or purees made from that specific fruit. 😊
