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!"

He reminds me of Mesut Ozil for some reason. I know he doesn't look like him but he does remind me of him. It must be just me.

[@premalara6007]

no, no he reminds me of ozil too

[@me5969]

How? His eyes are in the correct position.

[@denisefletcher1608]

Jesus Christ 🤣

[@dlilwon]

Yeah i see it too but he is hotter

[@rithiedalip6140]

Omg yes😂😂😂

[@yohanthoncruzrandydamnitfu1574]

no homo but... seriously with his accent + blue eyes + lips = perfect guy

[@suzettewright2062]

I've been to Scotland. Very cold climate. Very warm people. The Scottish accent is charming as hell.

[@georgejob2156]

It takes us a week in Spain to turn from blue to white!! Only kidding. but we do look very pale ( no sunshine!)

[@blankiki]

I love this man, good actor, handsome and he’s from my beloved Scotland, one of the most beautiful countries I have visited in 3 different occasions. Great Scottish breakfast and great mountains to hike and handsome Scottish men.

ADORABLE SCOTTISH BREAD

[@marsyas73]

what, like a plain loaf?!?

[@ShadowinaCave]

This bloke's a great interviewee. He doesn't have to bung anything on to be interesting and charming. Onya James!

[@Siller87]

Got to love the drum! Good on ye james

[@mangosprout3336]

I always fucking forget that James is a Scott. He ALWAYS does an English accent. I wish he could have his original accent for every film. I LOVE him

[@aprilmcleod1714]

He grew up along the road from me ☺️

[@daniellemusella1594]

Did you know him well?

[@daniellemusella1594]

April McLeod Oh, cool. Have you ever asked them about him?

[@Thoooomas]

Kpop VIP IGOT7 ARMY Im from scotsoun, what school?

[@AlanHope2013]

Up the road, surely. As in, I'm away up the road for ma tea. Even if your house is downhill, it's still up the road.

[@ohdan3270]

what a great actor

[@user-jj8lm1sy8g]

Wow..Drumchapel, Knightswood, Scottston...their all where I used to run about as well !!! Love Glasgow. Living in Japan now:)

[@ivanmay7890]

James McAvoy is just as Scottish as Ian Anderson. And he's a great actor, too!

[@hughmungus9503]

Raised partly in Drumchapel/ Bearsden in my youth. Gotta love Glesga, best city in the UK in my book.

[@elliotstacey1393]

Okay. And Newcastle is full of southerners.

[@AlanHope2013]

There's a big difference between Drumchapel and Bearsden. Make up your mind. It's either Park Avenue or the Bronx. Can't be both.

[@ruby5787]

"Hey, y'all ,we're from London!" As someone from the American south, I can't put into words how happy it makes me to see that accent applied to someone ELSE, lol

[@Jonathan-pg2hd]

Awesome actor and a very intelligent guy, doing Scotland proud! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
