Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

Keith has a great podcast now. Great to hear him unbothered by corporate tv office politics.

[@ohana8535]

He posts the podcast on his You Tube channel too.

[@wwbuirkle]

Keith is a bully and full of misinformation and one of the most hated men in media

[@wwbuirkle]

He's an awful human being@@ohana8535

[@barbarakarr9909]

God! I miss Keith!!!!!

[@mauricepowers3804]

Love Keith Olbermann!!!

[@tyro244]

Stephen needs to get back to doing this and have KO on monthly or bi-monthly each time.

[@stone1andonly]

I'm going for option "c", which is Jimmy Carter with Adamantium claws takes both of them out and retains the title!

[@MikeJones-rk1un]

+stone1andonly Right, Jimmy Carter with an Engineering degree from the US Naval Academy destroys them all except numb azz voters who go for a brain dead alzheimer's Ronnie Raygunz and the economy goes down hill ever since until there is NO middle class.

[@shirinpabani8575]

[@AlWikowonkavitz]

Nobody even discussed the net or the shield. I think throwing the net on Tom Brady will mess him up, especially if he's swinging the mace/morningstar around. Then A-Rod will knock him over onto the ground as he's struggling, then "deflate" him with the trident.

[@dangerouslytalented]

the Morningstar would easily entangle in the net

[@JadedDemocracy]

The silver fox that won't watch fox lmao

[@Mediaright]

Always good to see Keith again. Miss the dude.

[@tatersalad8648]

+Mediaright I thought he was dead.

[@1st_Julianna]

+Mediaright He's actually still publishing stuff, you just have to search for it. I say bring him back, and give him an easily-accessible forum... www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/keith-olbermann-i-cant-stand-to-live-in-a-trump-building-anymore/2016/03/08/fc755896-e559-11e5-b0fd-073d5930a7b7_story.html

[@supernoodles908]

Mediaright you can find him on KZbin :) he does a bi-daily show on trump

[@mdt471]

He is brilliant at political commentary, but you don't have to miss him. Catch him daily you tube...The resistance with Keith Olbermann. At his best there.

[@Come-here-puppetboy-FJB]

@@mdt471 that bitch Kieth is not against the resistance

[@tiger_3723]

I miss Friday night fights

[@tomie2tone763]

I like Keith Olbermann!

[@Anjalena]

I love Keith!I don't miss any of his episodes of The Resistance! And I faithfully watched The Closer during the election!

[@tomie2tone763]

Anjalena I think MSnbc is going to feel like they shouldn't have let him go now! He is the single handed Resistance ! I watch every chance I get and don't forget Resist!!!!!!! Have you seen the latest on Trump the Dump , he is draining the swamp and adding bigger and badder Crocks !! Or maybe they are just Crooks ! Glad to meet you Anjalena! The pleasure is all mine, Your most agreeable new friend , ,tomie2tone !!!

[@rtmoody4427]

Brady, because you would have to destroy the painting to kill him. Haha

[@gunner678]

both these guys, great!

[@jeremyedmond3095]

more friday night fights!

[@susanharrison2941]

Keith's Countdown podcast on KZbin is a must listen to going into the election. Witty and informative. It is great

[@peterjpalmer4441]

Stephen used to play D&D, he should know the difference between a morning star and a flail!

[@kenpatchiramasama1076]

+Peter Palmer what like the type of dice they use for damage

[@Vanilla0729]

+Peter Palmer I'm sure Stephen knows the difference. But did the jock in charge of graphics play D&D? I think not.

[@samanthaanrchy1331]

I have a huge crush on Keith Olbermann. That man is just so cute sometimes. Stephen is right he's my silver fox~~~~

[@Gilliatt83]

nice to see keith

[@THLGargamont]

If Tom Brady can polish his shield to a mirror finish he could essentially hit A. Rod at will while he was distracted by his own reflection. Sadly, you can't see yourself in a net.

[@davehahn3578]

BRING BACK FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS!!

[@saramuhumphries5197]

👍 Thank you for sharing.

[@gotja]

everyone knows the silver fox is anderson cooper

[@Beautyhuntress78]

I missed Keith…. Thank You, Stephen!!! ❤

[@ohana8535]

He has a podcast now, and he posts it on his You Tube Channel.

[@undeny]

I miss Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert doing their old shows... **sigh**

[@classjanhuntelaar8075]

i really want that Queen (Freddie Mercury) vs Queen (Liz) fight to happen soon.

[@kenmcnutt2]

That's not a morning star, it's a flail.

[@Wunderkind04]

+Ken McNutt II More like a Fail.

[@paulcoy9060]

+Ken McNutt II if you remove the spikes, then yes, it's a flail. If you remove the chain, and keep the spikes, it is still a morningstar. OOO! If you fill a football with metal ball bearings and put it on the end of a chain, that could do some serious damage.

[@kenmcnutt2]

paul coy Some flails had spikes.

[@MikeJones-rk1un]

+Ken McNutt II Humans are so civilized.

[@kenmcnutt2]

Mike M Yeah. Now we have missiles that can blow shit up from far away! Way better.

[@StealthMaster5k]

Lasers can't melt steel beams

[@sparkythesolocruiser6375]

Keith chews up the lame news media and calls things like they are on his podcast!!! The Best!!!

[@mangaluver1231]

Love that Picture of Dorian Grey reference

[@tombake1]

That was not a morning star. A morning star is basically a bat with nails in it. He has a flail

[@dianeowen5258]

Of course he's been fired. He's very intelligent and insightful. He does not tolerate fools. He speaks truth to power. Of course he's been fired.

[@willow2893]

he''s got a job m'dude! google GQ the resistance

[@TighelanderII]

If TV news were solely focused on News, Keith would be this generation's Walter Cronkite.

[@freshair3451]

He's a handsome man.

[@casares35]

This is so sad.

[@prestonalexander7847]

resist, peace ✋

[@creshiell]

i love this, but i wish this had been an interview! i have no idea what he's doing nowadays

[@jennaolbermann7663]

He now has a podcast Countdown With Keith Olbermann. Available on KZbin, Apple and iHeartRadio.

[@creshiell]

@@jennaolbermann7663 I know! My mom was on that like white on rice lol she loves it and I'm watching too

[@OneAdam12Adam]

Keith rocks in 2023!

[@argeshagan7407]

tom brady has two weapons technically. he could use the shield to hit ass-rod. tom brady wins. Period.

[@brutalbeetle]

Nets are notoriously not useful in combat, and tridents weren't particularly great either, shields however were a staple for centuries.

[@annerchisline9641]

Narcissus flowers smell amazingly good.

[@ThePerrperr]

I forgot about Keith Olbermann.

[@Billodnh]

Now there's a bit that can safely be retired.

[@cancerboy153]

1:20 Come on Stephen, can't we just get beyond Thunderdome?

[@mrk4022]

how did the "fight" go?

[@michaelkirk9870]

Love Keith Olberma’s Countdown podcast. BEST EVER Podcast! Keep it going Keith!

[@Volosous]

KEITH OLBERMANN!?!?!?? He still exists?

[@SulaimanamialuS]

does anyone know the music playing when he's introducing the fighters?

[@MrRp25]

+SulaimanamialuS She loves you yeah yeah yeah

[@SulaimanamialuS]

MrRp25 Of course.... That's it. lol

[@brad7566]

Arod would roid up to try and beat Brady but Brady would replace Arods pitchfork with a deflated fake pitchfork

[@rudymor]

Olberman for president 2020

[@Mimi-cq4bg]

without bellichick, altered equipment and recording the oppositions playbook, Brady would be ringless.

[@memyselfandinobodyfromnowh9087]

Have him back.

[@zedramer]

Either way, we win.

[@wyvernlord23]

Hey, Americans? Can you please explain the "ooohh"s after what Keith said?

[@geraldinearguelles8772]

Big fan of both!

[@kerryn6714]

I'm an Australian so I don't know who Tom Brady is. Same for A-Rod, didn’t he marry Jennifer Lopez? Are they both footballers of the American style? Apologies for my ignorance but I only watch Australian Rules Football and cricket ✌️🇦🇺😁

[@kerryn6714]

PS. I love Keith, he's fantastic! 😁

[@harryschaefer5887]

Somebody please give Keith a Grecian Formula tutorial.

[@bedazzlejuju]

Harry Schaefer no way...he's hot as is!

[@Nikkerman]

I'm early better make a joke.......................................................................................Ted Cruz.

[@drewkaplan7460]

Tom Brady wins because he is a God

[@maikel6035]

keith sometimes sounds like Joe from familyguy.

[@Coerciveutopian]

I think that's a flail, not a morning star.

[@bambino106]

This bit has potential, but keeps coming up short in execution.

[@TheodoreCaesarMoseby]

Keith isn't dead? My god...

[@TheodoreCaesarMoseby]

BartJ583 Hahaha

[@Jonqen]

he got a kickass show on utube

[@TheodoreCaesarMoseby]

Jonqen Yeah, he's arisen alright. He's claiming he'll 'Ride a crusade' against Trump... I think he's lost his mind a bit.

[@TheodoreCaesarMoseby]

Whatever.

[@TheodoreCaesarMoseby]

BartJ583 ...Implying I'm a Trump supporter. I'm not.

[@loutretom2637]

Would love to see Craig Ferguson in this segment

[@nknasi]

+Loutre Tom haha yeah Craig Ferguson vs Craig Kilborn

[@brandonstickels5435]

Could they both lose?

[@Zittylol]

I can see why they stop doing the stu-pidity of a fake clicking baiting clicking fake ad?

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

Without the NFL and its referees to protect him, Tom Brady is defenseless. A-Rod wins, then makes out with his own reflection.

[@PeterMayer]

Keith!

[@deanwalker7216]

2 peas in a pod….

[@nolanmiller910]

ayy

[@briannaoblivion4850]

it's awful heroic watching Keith stoppin' his corset poppin'

[@StreakyBaconMan]

If Brady had a spiked football that he could throw he would absolutely win, but a metal sphere on a stick attached with a chain? He has absoloutely no experience using that type of weapon and nothing in his sporting career could give him an advantage with that weapon. And he's also not used to having to shield himself, so he'd likely neglect the use of his shield assuming that one of his teammates would come block for him. Now A-Rod with his weapons is at least in his element. His sport is baseball, and with his firm grasp of that sport he would know how to pitch, giving him an advantage as both of his weapons can be thrown/pitched at the enemy. A-Rod would throw that net over Brady the second he was in range, likely causing him to trip but at the very least limiting his movement enough that his weapon becomes totally ineffective, if not a hazard to Brady. At this point A-Rod can come up and thrust his trident through Bradys chest, removing his heart when the trident is removed, allowing A-Rod to flick the heart in the air and use his trident as a makeshift bat to hit that thing outta the stadium.

[@theatheistbrony9332]

I like this segment but don't like it with just one fight. I say go back to 3 or retire it.

[@Phi1618033]

A Rod plays a children's sport. Brady plays a man's sport.

[@bowietsang920]

Honestly it's the least funny segment of the show

[@annerchisline9641]

+bowietsang920 Gets you thinking though (as silly as this segment is). It's good for middle-schoolers to consider these match-ups because they can really think about the elements introduced at the beginning of the "fights".

[@vigneshsabhahit1636]

who won?

[@happypasta6]

If you're still wondering it was Tom Brady: twitter.com/StephenAtHome/status/731239433744351234

[@vigneshsabhahit1636]

thank you for making me happy, happy pasta

[@happypasta6]

Vignesh Sabhahit you're welcome. And this is the first time someone's commented on my name without asking if it's based on creepy pasta (it's not).

[@vigneshsabhahit1636]

The thought did cross my mind, and I guessed not. I guessed right.

[@lizannewhitlow1085]

🙈

[@paulclissold1525]

You do you keith

[@TighelanderII]

If the shield were shiny like a mirror, then A-Rod would be distracted and lose.

[@doiknowmyenemy]

A-roid is gonna get 2%

[@noelaguirrechavez4462]

+Will Whitworth 44% as of this moment

[@Thenameishopper]

Wow the two people I would love to feed to sharks are in the same room!

[@andreaswidham3607]

Brady's got no chance. He'll get distracted by his own reflection and end up bashing in his own face with the morning star.

[@razamanaz8199]

I miss Stephen!

[@jigneshpatel9591]

Tom Brady wins

[@braddenscott6932]

Thats not a morning star, that is a flail, I am disappointed in Stephen.

[@brazenkaiszer2089]

How the fuck did carter win? that makes no sense.

[@spankieweasalcakes9274]

+brazen Kaiszer Integrity, honesty, humility... long list.

[@Jalterable]

+brazen Kaiszer "We never dropped a bomb. We never fired a bullet. We never went to war" - Jimmy Carter... The internet loves this man, and so do I

[@brazenkaiszer2089]

***** That has no bearing on this type of battle.

[@brazenkaiszer2089]

Jalterable That doesn't explain his victory here.

[@mesaeddie]

+brazen Kaiszer You expected Bush to win , please. Stay clueless.

[@findkip]

this show is just sad

[@toddm9501]

A couple of leftists. Are they doing this from Cuba

[@tomsapwell5016]

first

[@Nikkerman]

+Tom Sapwell No one cares.

[@nolanmiller910]

ayy

[@jairkerker2821]

Funny how Keith had a show called "The Resistance". Right now he might call his show "Blind Submission".

[@LouMontana-wc7nr]

Trump and his supporters are traitors!

[@bubbles3161]

Keith Olbermann should stick to reporting sports like ping pong,synchronized swimming and gymnastic floor routine's Keith is one of those strange hollywood left kind of guys he really doesn't understand politics he's been brainwashed are he's getting payed by the same people trying to ruin your life thumbs down for Olbermann. Reply

[@pissthepackles]

Wanted to see Keith.......NOT a shooopid sports bit....boy thing ....Boring

[@pissonliberals]

Tom Brady is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL has ever had it's a shame he's on a woke team

[@leonation6687]

Wow its the return of dumb and dumber

[@robertfraser9813]

Olberman and Colbert should talk about there Epstein Island rendezvous

[@ohana8535]

You should learn the difference between there, their and they're
