Oh hey, it's Superman

[@TheN0odles]

You mean, Clark Kent.

[@masterrance]

That can't be Superman. He's wearing glasses.

[@Deescovery1]

with every word he utters I hear my childhood talking.

[@MichaelNatrin]

Tim Daly is 60. How does he look so young.

[@fireyflower6643]

Michael Natrin wow he looks 40!

[@juhaniaho6698]

Michael Natrin I don’t know. Maybe the sunlight gives him powers?

[@baronobeefdip2]

Because he's Superman

[@rain1676]

[@AlexLove631]

You see Tim Daly, I see Superman

[@DenisRyan]

Alex Love I assume that's because you know he voiced Superman in the Animated Adventures for years. He's a great guy that embodies who Superman is at his core, a good person who respects all and wants a better world.

[@AlexLove631]

Denis Ryan He voiced Superman?!?!?!?!?! What!!!??

[@Hero1922]

now that you mention it i do hear it

[@DenisRyan]

Yup. He voiced him from 1996-2000. Isn't he just the perfect fit?

[@AlexLove631]

Denis Ryan Nah I knew lol. Grew up with his superman

[@sanderstar1000]

"All this science, and all the engineering, and math, and the quest for knowledge, isn't worth anything to human beings unless its in emotional context. And that's where artists come in, because we make something that communicates to people, that they can identify with, because arts are the common language of our humanity."

[@Nashoba513]

Beautiful

[@EDGEOFTHISWORLD]

Tim Daly is the best Superman.

[@krpyton7368]

Yeah he has a more gentle voice with superman not George Newbern

[@ashleypamplina2174]

Madam Secretary!!! 😍😍😍

[@juhaniaho6698]

Ashley Pamplina Yes to everything you just said!

[@LuigiTuazon]

Damn, his normal voice is SUPERMAN. AMAZING!

[@LauraVogel731]

#RightToBearArts - more important now than ever! Way to go, Tim! :)

[@violetxoxox]

It always makes me happy to see Tim Daly in any context. Joe Hackett will always be my favorite, though. I'd love to see a reunion of the Wings cast, even if it were just for one interview.

[@juanaltredo2974]

reminds me a bit of gregory peck, he has that quiet dignity and humility

[@ashramshef]

I don't know who he is, but I definitely want to look that great and to be that appealingly wise when I'm 60.

[@Comando729]

ashramshef he voiced superman in the superman animated series and the justice league series as well as several DC animated movies

"The quest for knowledge doesn't mean anything unless it's in an emotional context. And that's where artists come in because we make it something that communicates to people that they can identify with because arts are the common language of our humanity." - Tim Daly

[@Aunty87]

LOVE MADAM SECRETARY and Tim and Tea's relationship!! ;) #WishfulEntertainment

[@bot8.1]

Good to see how Mr McCord is in real life. Love that he has similar interests as his character.

[@AbyssalZones]

I never stop hearing Superman's voice.

[@47sabrine]

He is so handsome

[@AntonyTheGod]

It's nice that Superman has a farm

[@phoenixzappa7366]

Clark Kent. Surely. C'mon this is basic Glasses = Clark Kent

[@AntonyTheGod]

Scotty Nguyen's 80s Mullet my bad

[@samprastherabbit]

Great Scott! You're right!!

[@greyjackal]

This random Scotsman, who's never heard of Tim Daly before tonight, is oddly inspired. Good job.

[@Jadedgrl2012]

Totally dig Tim and the T-shirt! Support your local arts folks!

[@paulstreehousepublishing]

I like this Tim fellow. And his Right to Bear Arts idea. As a universal language, the arts are the one thing that can bridge the gap between cultures, races, economic status, and all other forms of division. And for this reason alone, it might never get approved. Though as a former entertainer, I can see Trump going for it, if he makes it to the white house.

[@Roonasaur]

No worries bro, I'm pretty sure the FIRST amendment has all that covered . . .

[@Krispy_Krame]

SUPERMAN!!!!! at least my superman. lol

[@EliDEVITTSpeaks]

Tim Daly literally is superman.

[@teddybeddy123]

Rocksteady, we need Superman in a game- this is our Superman!

[@RedMenace446]

i just realized, tim daly plays himself on madam secretary lol

[@readwrecks]

Best Superman ever.

[@danielpeachey3781]

when I here this guy straight away I think superman

[@GreenDragon11]

This is so inspiring!

[@dontworry9372]

Well said Tim, wow

[@Krista2882]

When he said someone's name was Brian, i had flashbacks to Wings. I love Tim, tho. Madam Secretary is so good.

[@garrettcarter2959]

Just close your eyes. and imagine Colbert is interviewing Superman. IT TOTALY WORKS!

[@DanTruong10-13-95]

Garrett Carter I imagine him interviewing Clark Kent of the Daily Planet ;)

[@anthonyporras938]

I hear Superman every time he talks lol.

[@PaulGarrett555]

Superman.

[@soogiexwoogie]

oh man those glasses!

[@ADayForeverGreen]

I'm here for Superman.

[@CujoHyer]

I'm still waiting for that 2nd season of his The Fugitive tv show. Its only been.... 17 years. I'm a patient man.

[@dem0ninthemist]

HAHAHAHA. that made me laugh

[@tealmacfarlane]

I only clicked because Superman is looking like Clark Kent. I had to make sure things didn't end abruptly so he could save the world.

[@Wolverine-ky9gk]

A superman game is apparently really hard to pull off, but hopefully one day will get a proper superman game

[@arshaanz22]

Superman talking😂❤

[@tati172]

I'm in love

[@TheN0odles]

WTF, wasn't this guy in Wings?

[@sandraandrews9907]

Yes, he was. He & Steven Webber (sic) co-starred as brothers. Tony Shalhoub (sic) was in this pre-Monk.

[@a35362]

I WANT one of those shirts!

[@AlanaClarkLovesRWRB]

I still think of him as Dr. Pete Wilder! #PrivatePractice fan! By the way his glasses are too adorable!

[@lonewolf604]

And think I was going to post thinking I was the few who knew he voiced superman....

[@giordanotirelli6028]

Happy birthday tim from italian boy live in rome

[@tkmaz]

I never thought he looked like his sister but now that he's older I can see the resemblance.

[@techfreak243]

America's running of the bulls. best way to summarize black Friday

[@darkphoenix2]

Whoa! It's the guy from Wings!

[@shebagal12]

Where do I get that shirt!!

[@NBUP024]

forget arkham games. get the arkham creators to work on a superman game. get tim Daly back.

[@sergiogarcia5593]

Suzaku Natsu I still want more Arkham games, but I would love to see a well-done Superman game, before another Arkham.

[@DanTruong10-13-95]

Suzaku Natsu either Tim Daly or George Newbern

[@erickoontz6835]

Whoa, what a good-looking guy!! And he's 60????? For Pete's sake, I wanna look like that.

[@CazTheGamerGuy]

Superman: Fights for truth, justice and the pursuit of the arts!

[@Marklinsf]

Is it me? Or Would Tim and Stephen make the cutest Gay Couple?

[@RomanCoronado]

To this day I still can't decide - Tim Daly or George Newbern. Both embody the voice and spirit of Superman. I always find myself leaning a bit more towards George Newbern but when I hear Tim Daly speak I'm like hang on.

[@Setobox]

RomanCoronado Same here. Man I love both.

[@arshaanz22]

Tim is definitely better!

[@eagle3676]

Stay human was playing Beethoven at the end

[@kingjamestres]

Tell me why I read this as defence against the dark arts?

[@ariel3234]

He literally is Henry McCord

[@aaronkim8112]

His voice sounded so familiar... Until i looked at his history and saw he's played the role of Superman multiple times in the DC animated series /films! Wow he seriously sounds like Clark Kent / Superman! And he talks about farms too XD He seems to have such a pleasant personality and natural kind disposition !

[@Comando729]

If I close my eyes and listen to his interview it sounds like Stephen Colbert is interviewing superman

[@natashiasprinkle5999]

Love and Art. I like this guy. Cool. Kind of reminds me of John Lennon - that is a good thing.

[@trevorthai1685]

The true voice of Superman (next to George Newbern)

[@georgiesimmons5924]

He hasn't really aged since Wings nothing is more sexy than a man with an organic garden

[@KamKeepsItReal]

I love you

[@ziaa6652]

Superman ❤️

[@AdjacentJustice]

"Superman. I'm here to kill you. Is this a bad time?"

[@robertbigler6098]

SUPERMAN!

[@tiekbane]

Bring back Wings.

[@chaosmark101]

He's Superman!!!

real life superman and no one can tell me otherwise. #TimDaly2020

[@homayoon73tify]

Supermaaaan

[@Mrkevi123]

When black comedians do white impersonations, this is the guy they imitate.

[@Johnny0lovely69]

They imitate the voice of 90's Superman the animated series?

[@343298918]

You think putting on a pair of glasses, and people would not realise you? You are too naive, Kent Clark!

[@SLAYA2577]

I want a new superman game and with this guy as the voice

[@1986SSMONTECARLO]

Daly was GREAT as Koresh

[@MaxMarriner]

Oh my god it's SUPERMAN! What a lovely surprise!

[@illustraitoranonymous3790]

Best voice of superman

[@Corey-dk3xi]

Speaking of selfishness as sickness, I covet those glasses. Bigtime.

[@giordanotirelli6028]

Today tim 68 years

[@yarbonnas]

Close your eyes and you can hear Superman/Clark Kent :-)

[@mujkocka]

He is aging great! Love Tim daly.

[@CarlosRodriguez-xx7lr]

[@kangamagic1206]

LOL. "I need to find a way to serve the Science God despite the fact that I've devoted my life to the arts. Let me come up with some sort of bullshit saying to pay Science homage."

[@Thaheadband33]

KangaMagic Okay cynical internet guy.

[@stellahadiwidjaja9747]

I thought that it was a misspelling of Tom Daley at first.

[@undeny]

Holy shit I hear nothing but Superman :D

Wait is that Clark?

[@ShayCat]

Michael Anderson

[@zakidalel1534]

Oh hey it's superman

[@mrrobinson155]

duuuuude!!! I seriously mistook him for Rob low!!!

[@icemantgh7136]

how else wanted to hear the rest of fur elise at the end?

[@alejandroespinosa7085]

art might be a good language for humanity but it's nothing without spirituality and philosophy

[@pismodude2]

Alejandro Espinosa Philosophy is an amazing way for students to waste money learning how to quote and name drop to back up the things they already stubbornly believe. And spirituality is a mental placebo; sure, it helps, but not because it's real.

[@alejandroespinosa7085]

pmd2 i disagree, philosophy is a incredible discipline that helps us to understand different ideas, and spirituality helps us to find a trascendental motive for our actions and guide us to a balance state of satisfaction and happines wich is the ultimate goal for everyone, to be happy no matter your conditions.

[@pismodude2]

Alejandro Espinosa Like I said, the placebo of spirituality works. And of course there's merit in philosophy, but mostly those who study it don't know how to converse without dropping names constantly. As almost any philosophical argument relies on constant appeals to authority, it shows that the field of philosophical study is merely teaching people to name drop. Good ideas stand on their own. Take out the proper nouns, and you have some neat ideas, but that's all it is: Neat perspectives on reality. Basically the best thing philosophy gives you is a compilation of fun ideas--hardly something special. Force a philosophy student to converse without dropping names, talking on ideas alone, and suddenly you just have a baseless squabble about perspectives of reality.

[@alejandroespinosa7085]

pmd2 i think spirituality is more than a placedo efect, i do believe it's a discipline just like working out or training some sport about self knowledge and environmental awareness so we can feel better and keep that way, i de believe that spiritual rituals can be as short and random and still be as efective as some of the most demanding and organized rituals, everyone has its own way. And yes sometimes philosophy sounds pretentious and way overrated, but i do think that philosophy sometimes is key when science and other studies need to explain and comunicate a good idea. i do think does more as a motivation for questions than for real answers that's why seems useless or stupid but science advances are made from clever questions.

[@turquisestones]

Is this Totoro girls' father?

[@Special1Mourinho]

wtf he's 60? he looks no more than late 40s jesus christ

[@hOtneO]

Where were you Superman on November 8? Really...

[@2xweleh]

5:25 Tim said a guy named Brian Cox who's former rock star and an astrophysicist??? Did he mean Brian May Queen's guitarist? Omg how could he be so wrong about Brian May????

[@MorningAngel]

No, he does mean Brian Cox, who is a former musician, a professor of physics, and a TV and radio host. It's this dude: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Cox_(physicist)

[@2xweleh]

MorningAngel OMG that Brian Cox! I know him but didn't know he was a musician. That's awesome! Thanks dude.

[@arjansingh8059]

“generic Superman comment”

[@NewMessage]

Well I came into this looking to make washed up actor jokes, but dayum.. think he made a fan of me. And no, I'm not just saying that to justify the shrine to shirtless Tim in my closet.

[@danielbrown1724]

A little too deep and philosophical for Colbert and his audience, lol They're like "oh, we're supposed to clap at that?" 😐😐😐😐😐

[@MrPoeGhost]

Hey look, it's that guy who turned into Sean Young back in '95, lol.

[@Allen75000]
