That bullshit "both-sides"ism that equated spreading deadly medical disinformation that's killed millions with creating a name for a profession that isn't inherently discriminatory (BTW, "female fishermen" are just called "fishers", as all other fishers are also called, based on the fact that they, y'know, fish)? That's "logic" to you? Russell's funny, but he's not as bright a political analyst as he thinks he is.

as a kiwi (New Zealander) we get the best of British & American culture - Russell Howard on Stephen Colbert's show??? - an awesome combo - Russell is brilliant, really really funny, decent bloke too - ohhh & if you like John Oliver, him and Russ are old mates - the interview of John Oliver on Russell's show is soooo good, worth it for the opening minute or so alone

[@Shindig8889]

Interview with Russell on the show would be great. Especially as on Russell Howard‘s previous show he used to do interviews himself with famous people.

[@kurtsudheim825]

Why, an interview is pointless, comedians & musicians go on to promote their work by b performing, it's only actors & authors that go talk because they can't obtusely do anything, other than site a clip & talk about it. Do you expect them to stand up & perform the scene from b the film, it do a 5 min one man show? Musicians & comedians performances are done to attract the audience v to their live show bit but the album/watch the special is they like it Also, like Stephen decides on the guest

[@naryanr]

​@Jedii Kniight American comedians fall too easily into talking about their race, dating, and sex. Sometimes I almost feel a computer could write 50% of the average American comedian's routine. It sounds like this: _“Hey wow! Great to be here! What a great-looking audience! Yeah! I love this city, I love New York. It's a great place to be... white._ [laughs] _I'm white, spoilers,_ [laughs] _as you may have noticed._ [claps] _Some of you are there like, ‘yay white!”_ [laughs] _and yeah I love New York because people here say what they think. It's great. I dated this girl from New York, gorgeous, great body, and she was like, you know what I like about you? You're not like the other guys. And I was like aw thanks! You too! Then she said, Other guy's care so much about how they look. And I was like... I don't like where this is going._ [laughs] _I said, what do you mean? And she was like, other white guys, you know, they try so hard to look cool, but you're just comfortable being white. And I was like, yeah OK. You're hot. I'll take it._ ” [laughs] You get the idea. It practically writes itself.

Its always soo bizarre seeing UK gems I love on American tv but sooo cool too. I just always hope they're treated well. Especially in Russell's case.

@@kenek629 OMG, that would be fantastic!

[@YONCE8701]

😅 JUST AMAZING❣️ Seen him grow and get better and better from his BBC3 days to now. He has really mastered his craft.🤘🏾

I'm so happy that Russell's wisdom and energy is reaching America, and I'm simply in awe of this new set of his. Absolute poetry, and hilarious at the same time. Without sounding too pompous, I want to imagine how people like this (and I could name so many more) were sometimes called "prophets" in ancient times, speaking truth to power and not taking any shit. And not pretending they're perfect or flawless or all-knowing, even while laying down utter truth-bombs -- the only kind of bomb any human should be OK with, incidentally. We have to be more like prophets, all of us, each of us.

No. No one wants him breaking in like Corden or Oliver.

@@JuICyBLiinGeR Well sure, just this one performance is what I was referring to.

[@FumikoNobuoka]

I am so happy to see him on this side of the pond!

[@dogperson4436]

I don't know what is it about him but I think I'm in love

Hilarious! Would love to see more comedians on the show, especially the struggling up and comers. An appearance on Colbert could start a great career.
