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!"

I don't want to live in a world without Paul F. Tompkins.

[@benedictifye]

PFT is always solid gold

[@ImJakeSrsly]

Please, call him Gary. That's the Comedy Bang Bang ref I'm going with.

[@the.seagull.35]

+Jake James I would have also accepted "Technicality no down boo over?"

[@fatal-banana]

Technicality no down boo over?

[@cowlark2000]

Please, call him Mr. Marshall

Hollywoo Stars and Celebrities: What do they know? Do they know things?? Let's find out! Special guest of honor: Stephen Colbert

[@loretohidalgo3533]

His voice is so fresh and bright

[@TheSilentHamish]

Only one? awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@muschikopf1997]

+SilentHamish I literally said this out loud after the video ended.

[@benedictifye]

+SilentHamish I agree. But it was pretty good while it lasted

[@jpq21]

+muschikopf1997 Me too!

[@danielmoore9000]

My argument for the Chucky Cheese Band: "That which bears no soul cannot die."

[@mnchls]

[@rishabhpb]

+mnchls Paul T. Fompkins, ya dummy

[@Spo8]

100% triggered.

[@charlesdemarest1171]

Where did that tray of food go...between 2:10 and 2:28....

[@RuptimusPrime]

+Charles Demarest The guy under the table struck again

[@adj789]

+Charles Demarest asking the important questions

[@DreamWorldSyd]

+Charles Demarest Tompkins works fast.

[@aaronjamessantiago2254]

+Charles Demarest Andro took it.

[@benedictifye]

+Charles Demarest I think they edited out a lot of bits during this bit

[@bakon321]

this one was great but waaaaaaaay too short..

[@Jeff-ok6dr]

No mention to Five Nights At Freddy's

[@armanboghossian3321]

+jeff mcclure wtf you dumb af

[@garr123]

+jeff mcclure yeah that fleeting garbage game made specifically for streamers to pretend to be scared of. why would these two adult comedians not use that as a cultural touch stone.

[@imbatgamer8396]

Hi youtube

[@firered23ful]

+jeff mcclure i heard Animitronic and im like oh hell no then i hear chuck e cheese then im like oh

[@thecataking6933]

To be fair, they probably don't know about five nights at Freddy's

[@mercurialbeef5472]

Tompkins Made Man interviews are hilarious

[@GrandiaKnight]

You forgot his best role as HG Wells Stephen!

[@douchebagel93]

+Adam Smith Yeah. :)

[@pmercsanch1]

+Adam Smith HISSSSSSSSS

[@GothamCityCritics]

+Adam Smith i liked the giant squid though... lol

[@sophykitten2212]

+GrandiaKnight I didn't realize he had done anything else! lol This was quite a surprise for me. XD

[@GrandiaKnight]

Sophy Kitten The Dead Author's Podcast is great. I recommend the one with John Hodgeman as Ayn Rand.

[@LateNightHalo]

I nearly shit myself at "they can adapt" XD

[@thorthoth4483]

"Let me just say it is great to be an adult."

[@highspacefox]

I've been waiting so long too see Paul rise from fog

[@HumanCapybara]

MY TWO FAVOURITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!!!

[@themetaphor]

Love your user name man

[@gamertherapyconsoleyoursel5804]

To me the F always stands for Fancypants.

[@tannerstiverson]

For me it's Fuckmachine (Because his ancestors were fuckmachinists)

[@bari891]

Amazing, never disappoints.

[@intheatremode]

"That Andy, he's one to watch" lmfao

[@OrcoDevelopment]

...Cakeboss.

[@vanessacruz3009]

CAKEBOSS

[@dorian4404]

I've been waiting to see these two together for a while !

[@perfectlyMessy]

Ahem...sorry Stephen, Chuck E Cheese band for sure. Five nights at Freddy bro.

[@kylano525]

Damn, that was one dramatic entrance.

[@win8linux]

"I enjoyed our friendship while it lasted." Totally gonna use that very soon... 😉

[@randthor9344]

PFT - my favorite on comedy bang bang

[@jsmney]

It's Frank Doyle!

[@doggans]

+Jasmine Wang *clink!*

[@MrJHM007]

Hi all my buddies!

[@toddwindsor4604]

Bojack horseman is amazing

[@doggans]

Everyone, PLEASE observe the golden rule when it's Paul F. Tompkins time.

[@bwolf19]

"lets look at the results from last week" which actually occured 3 weeks prior

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Shoulda actually been every Friday, with the likes of Hodgeman and PFT always.

[@MerylCheap]

Bring this back

[@sgak]

I miss this segment

[@sgak]

...but I know it wouldn't work anymore because of, you know, everything

[@jandreid1056]

You and your precious religion!!! XD

[@BarcodeTeacup]

the cheese band all the way, basically 5 fur covered terminators.

[@bobbybobob2648]

Join us again next week, when my guest will be..... a different person.

[@catha.j.stuart2200]

One problem with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: not enough Paul F Tompkins 💜

[@FilmKiln]

One of my favourite segments - So good

[@WaWa900]

I fuckin' love Paul F. Tompkins!

[@vicmartone]

hodgman, Tompkins, Tyson. silly facial hair plays a big role in casting at the late show

[@David_J.E.]

Oh was that Paul F. Tompkins? For a second I thought that was Cake Boss.

[@vinnygi]

@Daniel Tavizon cake boss

[@carstereobandits]

I like how Conan can handle a misspoken word or any other f-up and his goof-ball cover up humor ends up being funnier, but it's also kind of awesome that when Colbert mis-speaks he becomes genuinely embarrassed, the dude is a professional and I like that dedication, and from a master of improv no less.

[@ronkb]

Am I the only one who heard Mr. Show and instantly thought Bob Odenkirk?

[@halyomorpha]

I was expecting David Cross initially. Such a great show.

[@kingofroses302]

The polls close at midnaaadabada

[@_ericplace]

This was more coherent than First Take...

[@Iamtheyamyam]

Number 2 place Stephen. The number 1 place for mindless conflict is Congress.

[@logical-functionsmodel9364]

+Piplup J Gentlemen! No fighting in the war room!

[@carschmn]

Paul F Tonkins also won the @midnight Tournament of Champions.

[@benedictifye]

best entrance from fog EVER

[@akhilsindher4023]

Where did the food go???

[@samfunfun646]

Friday Night Fights with my favorite podcast hosts

[@shademonki13]

Well, the Knights clearly win. I mean, Dark Souls is infinitely better than Five Knights at Freddy's after all.

[@EhrenCG]

Five Friday Knight Fights at Stephen's

[@riffhammeron]

He called him PTF

[@dustyb58]

lol... the fusion network PFT deserves more

[@DethroneME]

JUST ONE?? I need more PFT in my life. KZbin hasnt been the same since he left SpeakEasy. :(

[@Stbuster31]

Colbert is great. so is Tompkins

[@frighten3159]

Hey Frank! Wheres Sadie?

[@svieriobraza]

Powerful Spontaneanation pin.

[@willmack5532]

sooooo happy they got PFTTTTTT

[@cleverusername9369]

Paul's suit is spectacular

[@lanteanboy]

Chuck E. Cheese band wins, I mean... have you ever heard of Five Nights at Freddy's?

[@v.e2035]

Hey advertisers!!..... way to encourage alcoholics to not quit their day time addictions ✌

[@17Haru17]

This is like impromptu speech and debate-I love it.

[@michalschneider4412]

can u play would u rather

[@ZhangtheGreat]

The knights could just unplug the power of the band...but then again, being from the medieval period, they might not know how to pull a plug...hmm...

[@grantwoods6517]

#classicjarls

[@davehahn3578]

0:32 Bring that back!

[@yahavrx1327]

Hollywoo Stars! Do they know things? What do they know? Let's find out!

[@edstroom]

PFT on Colbert. perfect.

[@AbsolXGuardian]

Knights easy. Even if you took the FNAF animartronic the Knights would still win. They have a falconer! And many horses. They have extra horses. And skill.

[@chimchimcharoo56]

i thought he said fashion

[@ImusakHctividar]

Who needs to stick in a sword when you could bust them open with a lucerne hammer? Plus, the anamatronics don't have any real way of fighting back.

[@陈瀚龙]

I don't know Paul from ANY of those things. I know him from The Pick of DESTINY!

[@Patrick_3751]

"Lets take a look at the results from last week" which was actually 3 weeks ago........

[@HaddyD]

Lady 2nd row, 4th person in. 0:31 misses her cue because she saw herself on T.V. and is jussssst a second off. :-)

[@CullenCochran]

Evuh...

[@0Clewi0]

Paul really didn't present his case well, the band start playing and the "knights" will kill themself reaching them

[@singhhstar]

I thought America's #1 place for mindless conflict was the middle east :P :D

[@simpleton7]

I like that Biz Stone was on the show the day before for charity, but that's no barrier to shitting all over twitter today!

[@Kennysmelle]

the anamatronic robots are one programmer away from beating up will smith let alone a group of day time actors

[@RobLives4Love]

I hope this stays around, seeing as Fridays are reruns now.

[@GardenBound]

Cake Boss

[@Reilly5]

In before the 5 nights at freddies fanbase skews this in their favor.

[@brycewalburn3926]

This is the one Late Show segment that I really don't care for.

[@halflifeger4179]

Then why are you here? LOL

[@mrblackmamba117]

Doggy doggy what now?

[@cassetiquette]

Who’s watching Andy?

[@goldwin5172]

I only know PFT from the Tenacious D movie

[@StrangeWill97]

You should do Batman without hands vs ant sized godzilla

[@DreamWorldSyd]

+Shawn Williams what? batman! shit I could take ant sized godzilla right now. He's not endowed with ant powers godzilla. I bet I could take on up to chinese pug sized godzilla.

[@scoots3131]

This is epic rap battles without the challenge really.

[@phenwagner7]

This is fucking amazing

[@iconoclast137]

The F stands for Francis, because of course it does

[@kommo1]

He obviously never heard off Freddys.

[@owsleys89]

PFT with Colbert? I NEED MORE!

[@mrblackmamba117]

Doggy doggy what now

[@FungusMossGnosis]

Polls close Wednesday at Mitten Hat.

[@crawdadds]

I miss NYSU :'(

[@MrC2095]

Lol mignit

[@kght222]

hodgeman wins by being a ridiculously wealthy entrepreneur who has created so many businesses that they cannot be named or counted. this contest was meaningless to him. much like the presidency is meaningless to his close friend with unmentionable scalp issues.
