Hungry For Power Games: Are You, Are You... Who Are You?

[@HelloGudbye93]

The saddest day this year will be Nov. 9th 2016, when these videos will no more

[@EmmanuelLebanon]

Relieve yourself in knowing that we'll have one about Kanye in 2018.

[@ericaramirez3541]

+Emmanuel Bassil KAYNE 2020 GET IT RIGHHHHTTTT

[@EmmanuelLebanon]

You think he's lasting past 2018, when nominees go up?

[@comebeyero]

+Emmanuel Bassil Donald Trump. That's all i gotta say. Nothing should surprise anyone anymore.

[@aperson22222]

+HelloGudbye93 The saddest thing about that day will be that one of these horrible schmucks will have actually won. :(

[@York22]

His impression of Caesar flickermann is spot on

[@erikamcintyre5764]

*Caesar

[@blackcat4562]

+Nintendo Person They might have edited it, you know. :p

[@maraudermap6345]

+Nintendo Person Lmao mate it was edited

[@fullyshimmer]

How does this widely liberal political host now have a night talk show same time slot non political host yet there r no conservative night time talk show hosts. Media is bias toward liberal, more liberals should be fired or more conservative hired to be more fair.

[@mori1bund]

+fullyshimmer Isn't that obvious? There are no conservatives talented enough to do the job. I mean, name me one successful conservative comedian, one successful form of conservative comedy show! Fox has tried once a conservative version of the Daily Show - of course it failed massively.

[@Vexillographer]

When I heard that Graham dropped out, I was upset that Colbert was on break and might not roast him in this segment. Thank you Stephen for not failing us. :D This segment is my favorite.

[@AngeliaChanel]

I've been waiting for him to do this all week!! I should have known he wouldn't give up the chance to 'honor' these guys :)

[@TheFireflyGrave]

+Vexillographer I'm hoping that not too many the remaining candidates drop out en masse after the first couple states. I want this segment to have a long life.

[@shortstuff780]

+AngeliaChanel ikr I've been waiting glad he didn't disappoint

[@Malus1531]

+Vexillographer Yeah it's a good one. My favorite though is the big, furry hat segments.

[@DBBrandon]

He probably thought he was gonna be safe with Colbert on break,he thooought wrooong.

[@whatshisF4C3]

"Not even George Pataki voted for George Pataki" best part!

[@vaibhavgupta20]

+whatshisF4C3 mine favorite was "last moderate republican"

[@Pumpkin0_0]

+whatshisF4C3 Not even his family and friends. lol.

[@breotan]

The mating call, "Let's compromise. Let's compromise." got me laughing.

[@YourXavier]

+whatshisF4C3 They already did that joke back when Santorum flunked out. I guess it was too good not to recycle.

[@CRAFTY6UY]

+YourXavier Pataki dropped out before Santorum...

[@VelexiaOmbra]

George Pataki deemed too sane to be a modern day republican.

[@mastermarkus5307]

+Velexia Ombra That makes me incredibly sad.

[@jayit6851]

+Velexia Ombra He should've just ran as a democrat.

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

+Velexia Ombra kasich is the only sane one out of the republicans.

[@ThutoMolefi]

+Velexia Ombra I wonder how Helga's doing

[@MC-up9nx]

+TyChadfranklyn That's the plan it makes the other Republican candidates that will actually get the nomination seem less insane.

[@nemraps]

Please keep doing this as the candidates dropout

[@thomas9451]

+NemRaps Yes, his HUNGER GAMES bit is the best part of the show.

[@nataliemccarthy9140]

Tbh this is my favorite part of the election

[@GeraltBosMang]

These witty pieces are definitely a breath of fresh air for the late night genre.

[@ahorrell]

Colbert's writers are on fiiiiire

[@FieldMarshalFry]

I would totally vote for Anger, he clearly cares about things, a lot

[@YawnGod]

Hungry for Power Games is such a great segment.

[@alexpowell7117]

Stephen is by far the best

[@sebastianfors9800]

Poor Pataki

[@devONcyban]

+akaElleLatham Way more liberal than most repubtards

[@NonSoloNoi100]

+Gary Oldman ♟♞♝♜♛♚ Manga Chess by David Cortese ♙♘♗♖♕♔

[@paaperman]

+Gary Oldman who?

[@Aqua.man045]

+Skeptical Unicorn Who course he's way more liberal. Should have ran as a democrat.

[@e0o9kii]

+Gary Oldman He probably would have done better running as a Democrat.

[@nabeelkhan6470]

This has got to be one the best written segments in a long long time...someone give writers a cookie

[@kevincolwell2115]

Omg I love this segment sooo much! I can't wait to see how this carries over into the victory...

[@MsFreedom4us]

You are a shill to this Jesuit piece of doggie poop/

[@CarlosVargas-jz8gl]

+clarity seer Shill?

[@CarlosVargas-jz8gl]

Frederick Jizzbottom woa there mister "jizz in his bottom", I'm Spanish, but to you there is no difference huh? Maybe you should get that jizz out of your eyes too.

[@kevincolwell2115]

+clarity seer I'm pretty sure he's like, hella catholic.

[@MsFreedom4us]

and just like all who worship the whore of Babylon (catholic church} they will go to hell/ good day/

+HalfLife(Ger) Let the Presidency BURN!

[@theordinarygreen9634]

He said wine Dingus.

[@rruzgarr97]

Trump would make a great anime villain.

[@MartianManHunter2258]

Or better yet a Fallout villain.

[@kingcole55]

+BingletonTV He cannot leave whatever reality he thinks he's in.

[@rruzgarr97]

[@rruzgarr97]

***** or a skyrim... dragon?

[@elit9991]

This comment made me so happy

[@ma5on2084]

Bravo!!!!

[@cacheman]

Graham pulling out effectively eliminates the chance of an openly gay president after the election.

[@ThePanicPuppet]

+eloj There'll always be James Buchanan.

[@AboveAllNations]

+ThePanicPuppet Abe Lincoln was probably gay. Frequently slept in the same bed with other men, had a bad marriage, inspired the Log Cabin Republicans... where there's smoke, there's fire.

[@justyouraveragejay]

+AboveAllNations Could you tell me your source(s)? I want to know more about this!

[@Masada1911]

+AboveAllNations sleeping in the same bed with another guy was normal back then. Doesn't mean he was gay.

[@NonSoloNoi100]

+eloj ♟♞♝♜♛♚ Manga Chess by David Cortese ♙♘♗♖♕♔

[@thaitichi]

He plays this character so well

[@Pharphette]

Thumbs up for calling Trump and Harvey horrible mistakes.

[@elephantmarch]

+Mikhail Kalashnikov He didn't mean Harvey was his mistake; they meant the mistake he made his announcement was a mistake

[@agriperma]

+kjc748 Yeah , a bit harsh on Harvey, Harvey > MADE < a mistake, and recognized, his error, and felt bad for committing it. and said he was sorry. he had shame. Trump on the other hand, is a mistake. he thinks he is a god, and has no shame.

[@Pharphette]

agriperma No Harvey is a shitty person. His views on women and people who aren't christian are ignorant and awful.

[@daven1824]

+kjc748 Love your enemies, pray --- oh wait, that rule doesn't apply to you, it's only for Christians

[@cyrusjbeast]

Dave N Lo l

[@OwaisSayani]

A segment so good that I click the 'like' button before the video even loads.

[@jhn4399]

Pleas GOD continue this!

[@JasonBarrettePiano]

This has got to be the best hungry for power games ever.

[@KingOfMadCows]

George Pataki should have ran on his experience of being CEO of OCP, creating the ED-209, giving Mars air, and taking over the Enterprise D when Captain Picard was captured by the Cardassians.

[@Gambit08]

Seriously, my favorite segment.

[@sterowentUS]

i would argue that bernie is the only one not lowering the bar here, but no matter the commentary i love these segments.

[@jordanallen3078]

[@theRealCrazyOne]

"Former Gov. George Pataki is out of the race." ... he was in the race?

[@justme7673]

+theRealCrazyOne Pataki....was he the Japanese guy on Star Trek? (just kidding) I would totally vote for that guy. Captain, Klingons off the port bow.

[@Hotshots2890]

And here in Canada we thought 200 days was to many for elections haha

[@heidimueller1039]

The campaign ran 78 days in Canada, usually it's 33.

[@Lightscribe225]

And the typical US response is "You have elections?"

[@saphari22]

I love EVERYTHING about this!!! #ColbertForPrez

[@StewChicken42]

Pure comedy gold. Well done Stephen and crew!

[@brittanyhoward7742]

I love this segment SO much.

[@purplehz97]

I had to come back and watch all the Hungry for Power Games segments after rewatching The Hunger Games😂

[@maxhollenbeck9074]

MORE OF THIS. Sort of allows Colbert to take on his old character again.

[@playeryoung314]

Who is going to get George Pataki's share of the 0.0 percent?

[@JimboShogun0686]

this is why Colbert is the best and funniest late night show host on tv

[@thelaughindustry773]

"sadly only one person will be president, even more sadly it will be one of these people." XD Best part.

[@MistiineChristine]

When Stephen laughs, it's an echo of a memory of Phil Ken Sebben! Haha! Cookies on dowels!

[@wyndvanderholt365]

This video is "Catching Fire" and I'm hungry for more of it, please keep delivering this insane content from the capitol in this magnificent show and "may the odds be ever in your favor",

[@darksid33]

wow this piece was amazing. who ever wrote this is a genius. word play on word play on word play.

[@cheseenlo]

this is Stephen's best one bit. now i wish we had more candidates

[@GingerBreadless]

This is just too amazing. And accurate, so accurate.

[@grando111]

He should host the entire show like that

[@Bader.mobarak]

THEY SHOULD TOTALLY MAKE A FULL SHOW OF CEASAR FLICKERMANN!!!!

[@JordanAthemusiclover]

One of his best segments!

[@TANTRAN321]

Colbert seems to be getting better and better ever since he was given this job.

[@charisamartin2152]

"It's gon' get STANKAAAAY!" - Stephen Colbert. lol!

[@Shanem1000]

Bravo...Bravo...bravo.....

[@milanfan81]

Anyone knows where to get the script this was so good hahahaha

[@aperson22222]

Pataki wasn't a moderate, he was a liberal. He did have a good record for compromise and working across the aisle, with Bruno and Silver--both of whom, I believe, wound up doing hard time on corruption charges.

[@jeffreytan2333]

Brilliance. Just utter brilliance. I wonder what's going to happen when the candidates who drop out are actually known. :)

[@hartfordwolfpack8678]

This banter is priceless

[@noahdaniel1152]

Please do this every time a few people drop out!

[@urockit2011]

+Noah Daniel So far he has done this segment every time people dropout.

[@OverLordthe1st]

so so sad but tru, i miss the old republicans, we use to complain but look what we have know

[@aaaaanditsgone]

what a great segment! I hope you continue this throughout the race

[@waterbaby8360]

OMG! Nailed it!

[@ladyrose837]

This is the best segment. I kind of wish he did a whole show like this. My sides would be split by the end lol.

[@JuliusInRoom]

Best Segment of the show since Dave's top ten list.

[@chemmerling]

Phil Ken Sebbon! "Ha Ha! Lowered expectations"

[@megspotato1253]

Loved this!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂

[@Goldenclaw112]

Beautiful

[@RamblinRick_]

Hungry For Power Games is now my favorite segment. After the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primary, there will be far, far, fewer, given that so many candidates will leave.

[@michaeloconnor5904]

6:00 He's reaching out to us about a serious problem that we need to help him with.

[@Eldrad235]

I was waiting for this all Christmas

[@yashiAR]

"Ha Ha! Wordplay! Can''t bleep me. aah!"

[@DustyOldBones]

oh man, I love the colbert report.

[@ThePlec]

This is Colbert's best character. He should stick to it and create a show revolving around it/him

[@johnfredyzabala07]

bernie is leading.. why didnt you mention this?

[@TheSkyHazCloudz]

No he isn't? I just Googled it, and Clinton still had it in everything I could find. Maybe I missed it. I don't know.

[@getrealtv3625]

+Frederick Jizzbottom yea but that lead is based on the black vote. Polls can be very disconnected from real black sentiment becuz they often don't vote and their isn't much data on their voting patterns. Don't worry Bernie gots this

[@TheSkyHazCloudz]

+yusuf farah Bernie's too left. Even if he gets the people's majority, the super-delegates will never allow him to win the primary. Hillary's already gotten most of them secured anyway.

[@getrealtv3625]

+TheSkyHazCloudz regardless if that true or not. We don't know until we try, if the system is rigged beyond repair then fine atleast we know. Bernie sanders is a Hail Mary pass and anyone who believes in true democracy has to vote for him. I don't ever wanna look back and say "i didn't try." That's just not enough for me. What about you?

[@TheSkyHazCloudz]

+yusuf farah Let's say that by some ungodly miracle that all the super-delegates who have already announced their support for Clinton turn on her and go Bernie and he beats whoever the Republicans can scrape from the bottom of the barrel. Unless Congress goes insanely democrat-heavy at some point, he won't be able to do too much. I watched an interview in which the reporter asked him, "You're even more far left than President Obama, and he's having trouble getting anything done. What makes you think that you'd be able to do anything?" Bernie couldn't give her much of a solid answer. The fact of the matter is, most people are moderate, so to win the general election (or to pass the super-delegates who want a Democrat to win the general election), you need someone who is at least somewhat moderate. To get anything done that requires Congress' approval, you need to be able to compromise. Most people who are far left and right aren't too keen on that. That's why Bernie just won't work.

[@brighteyes7426]

I loved the 2016 elections so much. Eyes and brains folks.

[@EvanShelby]

Stephen is such a good actor XD

[@PhotonKingShark77]

I had no idea who this guy was until today.

[@samsheppard7289]

Magnifico !

[@perfectlyMessy]

Yes! Been waiting for this segment for so long! :D Come November and we'll be super sad because there are no more hungry for power games :(

[@szeth14]

I would elect Lewis Black before Trump for sure

[@Gio__Alex]

Yes! I thought he wasn't going to do it!

[@metalmilitia1890]

I fucking love this segment

[@idenhakeem3588]

By far my favorite part of the show! Hilarious

[@ThePOPOVICI]

Brilliant!

[@Davi-xm3jd]

This was honestly, hilarious!!!

[@jewelzgirl2390]

I loved this too much

[@BrigadoomNorth]

I like how Bernie is the guy on the top at 2:24.

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

How are more people not watching this show?

[@nicoletanquary3684]

watching these segments makes me crave a glass of wine lol

[@CassAnayadotcom]

YESSSSSS I have been waiting soooo long for this!

[@Funnygalsproductions]

Genius !!!

[@grroyer78]

I lost it when he did the moderate Republican mating call. "Let's compromise, let's compromise!" So goddamn spot on.

[@Compman2000]

Aw, the cannon only went off once even though there were two fallen tributes.

[@Cyfix15]

Lindsey was a Colonel?!! wow...well an AF colonel...but still....who knew that overgrown girl was ever something respectable

[@Sloopyla]

GREAT WRITING! GREAT ACTING! Hilarious.

Nice "Usual Suspects" reference haha

[@SaurabhPatil1]

Do this Caesar flickermann thing throughout elections!

[@kenshinbattousai374]

I love how he slipped back into getting Phil ken Sebben for a second there

[@MonsterJamAthuzest]

Just one mistake I noticed, Sen. Lindsey Graham isn't the only Republican candidate with military experience. Gov. Jim Gilmore also has military experience.

[@HomoSolari]

Who the heck is Jim Gilmore?

[@MonsterJamAthuzest]

+Spinosail 46 Army Intelligence Officer from 1971-1974, The Attorney General of Virginia from 1994-1997, Governor of Virginia from 1998-2002, Chairman of the Republican National Committee in 2001, and twice a Presidential candidate in 2012 and 2016. One of the only true solid Conservatives running, unfortunately he was shunned by the lamestream liberal media, the progressive RNC, and everyone else (He was rarely, if ever in any polls); probably because he didn't have millions to throw into the campaign. Sadly, it seems like there is no room for Conservatives in the Republican party anymore either, I mean just look at the three frontrunners, I am ashamed to have ever identified myself as a Republican, knowing I was in the same Party as liberal Trump, phony RINO, Constitutionally ineligible Cruz, and Gang of Eights, ineligible anchor baby Rubio. It really is sad.

[@highschoolhelp24]

FINALLY! Been waiting for it

[@tomaszodrobina4454]
