Stephen Colbert is just on a different level than the other late night guys.

[@laurensteenkamp2848]

He's bae.

[@CoachingHigher]

justmemadison Exactly! So glad he dethroned Fallon because he's witty, cultivated and a good listener. Can't wait for the Emmy!!!

[@asherujudo7383]

Most of them are from the same Liberal Arts, Harvard Lampoon, background. Conan literally went to Harvard and is a history buff. I wouldn't be surprised if Jon Stewart was into Shakespeare as well.

[@RonRicho]

That's putting it mildly.

[@Milohenry13]

Wait... What? Her American accent is flawless.

[@Ladylace97]

My little cousins are the same way. Whenever they visit I'm like do an American & its flawless & I said why don't you just speak normal all the time & they said because it's not normal for us

[@j.m.8951]

I can never understand how they do that. Its a lot of actors who have strong foreign accents but can talk so American! Love it!

[@ToesRusVideo]

Her Street accent is flawless too!

[@PayJ1017]

One of the best I’ve ever heard. I do love a certain moment in TGF where she has to go into her British accent.

[@Correctrix]

@@PayJ1017 In _The Good Fight,_ she does a posh accent at one point and a Cockney one at another, whereas spontaneously she speaks Estuary English. There's no "British accent".

[@etiennecouture1552]

Stephen is the kind of nerd the women like.

[@tamarkfir9688]

Ethan Kutcher true.

[@jabbermocky]

Yeah, he is because he's funny and smart. More dudes should try it sometime.

[@tainadelcaribe]

Yes, he is!!

[@ariela1390]

Yes indeed ;)

[@Nicole-hc7rh]

Ethan Kutcher I'm only 25 and I find Stephen SO sexy

[@JayZondi-cd8jj]

Steven is an amazingly literate host! Respect!

[@mrnineandahalf3001]

He's extremely well read, like ridiculously well read. He does an interview with someone where they start discussing thriller novels and Colbert goes on and on asking about more and more authors and if the guest has read them as well. He's such a geek it's great.

[@ChannelRalph]

I love it when Stephen reveals yet another talent or bit of knowledge he has. He's really quite a talented and well rounded man.

[@cnsummers4086]

I feel the same

[@minuusha]

Wow, that was incredible! That pause at the end haha

[@greenbamboo777]

That was BEAUTIFUL

[@jabbermocky]

Know what else is beautiful? Cush's legs. They caught my eye and I'm a straight chick!

[@spaceboy2095]

We'd all need a little more Shakespeare in our lives... Thanks Stpehen Colbert, the only U.S. host to have some Shakespeare on TV!

[@Rhawn246]

Norman, this joke!! LOL

[@moimeself1088]

Norman Singh you killed me. i am dead. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@skisonic]

4:56 is why Colbert is probably the best choice for a late night host period. Nobody else has chops like that.

[@EdwardMariyaniSquire]

This is why Colbert is for adults and Fallon is for children.

[@tyronepersaudTyGrr]

Lol..u hit a nail on the head there buddy

[@rashadellison9593]

So who’s kimmel for??

[@FrankZen]

Karl Malone fans...

[@BAMovin]

She can play a Bond girl. Perfect charm, finesse, and energy.

[@KM-rt5jj]

She can do more than play a cardboard cutout of a character. As could all the other actresses if they'd just get a chance

[@milaa.ballentine4260]

I was in the audience and this was a beautiful moment.

[@milaa.ballentine4260]

Ha, I liked that too. If you're ever in town go and check it out.

[@AccidentalLyrics]

That was amazing

[@j.m.8951]

I sooo love her sassy short haircut, her accent and her character on The Good Fight! Awesome show folks, you should watch it!

[@chrissaltaur1254]

Cush is amazing.. great actress, beautiful voice and a fabulous Ambassador for London and the UK.

[@AlanHope2013]

How many late night hosts can recite a Shakespeare sonnet from memory? Let's see you carpool karaoke that, Corden!

[@MarelisaFabrega]

I love this actress, and Stephen Colbert continues to amaze me. Is there nothing this man can't do?

[@thelife_artistic]

So happy that the did that, 'When in disgrace' is my favourite sonnet too!! I totally recited it along with them :D

[@starkidpotter1310]

Had no idea she was a Brit, when she started talking, I was like woah

[@MaserXIV]

Holy fuuuck, that was good.

[@charlie5115]

Ok I'm a little bit in love with her now..

[@JamesFrew1]

Charlotte she’s an incredible talent. Her and Christine Baranski together? Best show on TV.

[@phoebetian6670]

I'm in love with her from the moment I saw Lucca in The Good Fight. Lucca is so far my fav female character in all TV shows I've ever seen in my life!!! So unique, yet so real! I was thinking the reason why Lucca is so real is because Cush Jumbo herself is like that. But now I see herself is no where like Lucca, yet she managed to create that illusion! She is so talented!!!

[@charlie5115]

And now she’s playing Hamlet! Amazing 👏🏻

[@j.m.8951]

You should watch her on the show The Good Fight! She's awesome!

[@MLD.Ltd.]

omg. so that episode where she was asked to answer the phone "with an accent" was her native accent?!?! omg she's good and I love her more!!!

[@akinolawilliams161]

Cush Jumbo what a name!!!!!

[@look4lec]

You won't forget that shit!

[@hassanabdikarimmohamed2505]

@@look4lec Lol Cush Jumno said her parents named her after Cushites, land of Cush, ancient biblical North east african people, the modern descendants of these ancient people are the Cushitic speaking Cushites, such as Somalis from Djibouti 🇩🇯 and Somalia, Ethiopians, eritreans, and North Sudanese as well as the ancient medjay beja tribe of South Egypt

[@BigTonyPhoenix]

I got very excited when they started the sonnet, and almost screamed when they finished it. I go into a frenzy over Shakespeare.

[@petergeoghegan2025]

Holy crap. He is so well read.

[@Darbysmommy]

Stephen is so intelligent. Well versed on so many varied subjects. Quite well read

[@aliyabolotbekkyzy7689]

6:00 oh, Stephen...

[@jaybee7414]

Cush is gorgeous. Loved her on the last season of "The Good Wife" and even more on "The Good Fight".

[@AsSheLikesIt]

She's cool. British actors are always so well rounded.

[@jacobkayadoe7851]

They are

[@unaimotrikogomez887]

And this is why Colbert is the king.

[@hahaha430]

I really love when I hear a really London accent.

[@Zeratul187]

Now I know why my jaw fell when I saw her in "the good wife" , she's beautiful and British........ Best Combination

[@jadedsiren9116]

Now that was ...just another league entirely. Damn, I loved that. Cush&Stephen, Well Done!

[@dhianfirstiana]

the last 2 minutes aroused me so much

[@katphyre]

Wow, that was brilliant!! Sometimes I forget that Stephen trained in theater and could have been a serious stage actor.

[@socrappyicoulddie]

God, this is like pornography for me. I want more Shakespeare on late night!

[@RonRicho]

Well, I'm already a Cush Jumbo fan but now I look at Stephen in an entirely new light.

[@IceColdProfessional]

That was poetic erotica.

[@Buenomars]

"Hey dealer." "Hi, what will it be this time? The dimebag?" "Nah, it's a special occasion - I want the Kush Jumbo."

[@cnsummers4086]

Lol nice

[@capitolfedgroup8311]

Wow..Brilliant. just Brilliant 👏 👌 😀

[@hardryv3719]

She is epic, pretty sure I've never been smitten that quickly before.

[@ANGELSLVME]

Wow!!!!that’s a lot to remember ! AWESOME

[@fandie42]

that was a ridiculously amazing moment

[@helderrosa9637]

Bloody brilliant

[@channelVlogger]

The sonnets are the best thing about shakespeare. I read too little of him in school as we don't go through Shakespeare this intensely in Germany, but I really liked what I saw.

[@dora2430]

fantastic!

Colbert is the man!

[@mlpuppet70]

Cush is amazing!

There can’t be a thousand people on Earth that can spout off a Shakespeare sonnet on command. Very cool

[@jefftollison3848]

If you're looking for a good British mystery series to watch, "Stay Close" (also starring Richard Armitage) is very well done, a modern classic..

I want some of that dank Egyptian ancient cush

wow , The Bard, you are deep pool Stephen !
