[@WorksOnMyComputer]

He found Jim crude, which he is. I am sure he would be just as disengaged with any comedian like that. What was interesting was the audience sounded like they were really into him.

[@alotofthings22]

I think he does best with celebrities who are talkative but serious, or at least who are not particularly comical. With them, he can maintain a good conversation and crack a joke every now and then to keep the mood light and people giggling. With comedians he seems to get stuck, as if he expects them to just carry the interview and essentially do a five minutes stand-up bit while he just looks on.

[@butchjohnson9736]

He didn't have much chemistry with Ricky Gervais either- and both are pretty funny.

He will never laugh at a joke, never build upon it, he will just read from his script till he can safely call the interview over. AWKWARD.

Imo, Colbert is actually a super serious, uptight guy. You cant take him for a ride. The style of the Colbert Show REALLY hid this weakness.

Most Nordic countries operate with forms of socialism the same way. We collectively pay taxes and we get shit like roads... among other things. Bernie was also the only candidate who actually looked like a real human being... plus the things that came out of his mouth actually made sense. Trump is still a fucking disaster.

[@johnmyers4555]

This is my take as well. It seems like ever since he switched shows he's been afraid to laugh or have fun because, as I'm keenly aware from having experienced it myself, certain liberal bubbles like to crucify those for even reacting in a unapproved manner to non-strictly pc joke or comment. That, to me, is how comedy dies. I reckon that the only ones that benefit from it are cunts.

Wilbur W. I wonder if the show itself is adding stress to his life that's causing a character change. It's not uncommon to become so big and busy you aren't enjoying what you do anymore.

[@shibadoge633]

Fernando Herrera Nah, Steven has always been good with reading from a script, but hasn't been the best at being funny off the top of his head. He's never been a very good on the spot interviewer, even on his old show (although it was still funnier with his old character). I don't think he was ever cut out for this late night host gig in the first place.

[@BloodyYTNamingNonsense]

He's just not funny, that's the fundamental problem. Sure he can read other funny people's words well, but when it comes down to applying your own brain creatively and quickly to exhibit wit, he's a 0/10.

[@fernie51296]

Bloody KZbin Naming Nonsense if you have seen is interviews off set when he had the Colbert report it even when he was with the daily show you'd know that's not true at all. He is very quick and quite funny. His interview with bill o'Reilly on Fox News was great.

[@hogey74]

Nah cummon dude. I'm an Aussie and Colbert hasn't lost it. Far from it. He just wasn't of a mind to get stuck into it. Perhaps if their paths cross again he'll roll up his sleeves ... Jefferies is a lot edgier and it's his first time (I think?) on the late show. Don't forget this is a little sub culture and the US is more class-based than Australia. Colbert would be unlikely to fully engage some new dude - he'd have to do his time. I just found the contrast in their accents amazing ... Jefferies on his own sounds normal to me. Geez.

[@Skankhunt42....]

I assume that Paul Hogan has a drinking problem and lives alone by now 🤣 I'm fucking dead lol

[@JasonX00]

It is so awes seeing a fellow Aussie spreading the love.

[@eldude9367]

Jim never fails to make me laugh!

[@michaelcovel3793]

Colbert makes Fallon look like Ferguson. I miss Craig; he always had a lot of verve for his guests and his interviews were great

[@Laetitiamb]

We don’t call them shrimp either 😳 we call them prawns 🍤 Shrimps are little things.

[@terrywright9765]

Haven't seen his new show but as a stand up comedian there is none better. 'Cept George but he is passed on. RIP George.

[@whogivesadamnforuser]

4:17 Dude! That was the longest jump in human history!

[@JrJagsFootball]

I liked the "Go mine something else" comment

THANKYOU! No one calls them shrimp in Australia

Given the state of their tech, the safest place to be is wherever NK has the missile aimed. I'd be WAY more concerned living outside Reno than in it!

[@lilaclizard4504]

lol so true! If you're an Australian, you've also gotta love that our name is longer & harder to pronounce than Austria, so it's also unlikely that dumb donald will manage to nuke us even if he tries

[@benhac]

Watching steven made me realise in my heart how much I miss craig ferguson.

[@nurlindafsihotang49]

good thing our neighbour's kangaroo jack still have their ancestor dry humor

[@blackbird5634]

Colbert's so ready to move to New Zealand and Hobbit-ville!!🤣

[@deanmartin7370]

Colbert tries too hard to outdo his guest... don't get it wrong, I am a Colbert fan. But he should try to make the guests look good, not bad. Colbert gets nervous when the guest is funnier than him, and that's not cool.

[@SpaceViking1]

he doesnt really try to outdo him. he barely said a word. 2 little jokes and the rest are introductions to jim's jokes.

[@michalperach984]

x Yep, I don't get what people see here. Imagining maybe. Now the Bill Burr interview, that was really awfull. But I really liked this interview. My only complain is that it could be longer. I love Jim Jeffriese.

[@deanmartin7370]

It's in his mannerisms and tone, not the words necessarily. You probably wouldn't know subtlety if it bit you in the asscheek.

[@macwatson7227]

He was the same with Bill Burr. He was also so terrified that both Bill and Jim would get so crude that they couldn't use the interview. They're professionals. They know they're on CBS. They aren't going to randomly start dropping f bombs for no reason.

[@deanmartin7370]

Yeah, he also gave McEnroe an incredibly hard time in the wake of the (fair and accurate) stuff John said about Serena, so that he could keep the crowd on his side.

[@strom56]

Colbert is probably thinking this guys gonna be doing my show next

[@BAlvn-yr6ej]

he wouldn't want to...Colbert is so 2000s...he's done, put a fork in him.

[@aussiepressconferences.4755]

The subtle cut away at the end after the sex joke is very American.

[@tristanmoller9498]

I actually really liked this interview. Didn't think it was cringeworthy or anything like that. Sure Stephen was unprepared for good Australian humour, but that made it really interesting. They both did a good job to keep the interview going.

[@owenfitzgerald3219]

A very clever joke at the end there, "I'm sure she's Happy" Happy being one of the 7 Dwarf's and they were ......................... Miner's. Brilliant :) Very funny as always Jim. Thank you.

[@jippoti2227]

I like Stephen's monologues about Trump but Stephen is a narcistic guy who always has problems when interviewing other comedians.

[@phillyblunt138]

Comedians who are superior to him. His interviews with Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr are awful - you can see the disdain he has for them

[@crystalclear7488]

I hate Stephens monologues about Trump. They're insidious & transparent. He has disdain for others & a serious case of superiority complex. I'd rather see Letterman.. OR even Trump doing interviews, any day. They'd be LOTS funnier.

[@phillyblunt138]

You're in the minority there

[@boringperson-zb8vy]

The interviews with Ricky Gervais and Graham Norton aren't bad at all

[@angeldominguez6325]

[@elizabethbrown3447]

Just found Jim,LOVE HIM

[@gregkennedy5616]

Colbert just reminds me of a banker who wants to be a lawyer, who wants to be an accountant, who wants to be a comedian. I’ve seen squares less square, and politicians more sincere.

I was in an outback opal mining town in Australia, it was the same thing, for every single girl there were 9 single guys. The lady owner of the hotel did not want to give me a room because I was single... she just didn't want the trouble and offered me to stay with her married daugher in town lol. I was single but not alone... was with 21 others, including my biyfriend. That night BEST PARTY EVER :)
