Kathleen Madigan Wants Congress to Say Bye-Bye to 'PawPaw'

[@smmydvr]

Always a joy to see Kathleen! Thank you for having her!

[@screwyootube1]

Stephen probably thanked her for being had!

[@KitC916]

A masterful set, as always. One of comedy's best and most underrated comedians.

[@bevdeptula289]

Kathleen, please keep performing! You’ve been my respite so many times! I LOVE your comedy!!

[@kimberlyrobinson3992]

When I see new Kathleen Madigan material on KZbin, it's like an unexpected birthday present in the middle of the year. She is my absolute favorite comedian.

[@toryjohnson9595]

Kimberly Robinson I am the same she’s hysterical!

[@melindac3368]

Damn right!

[@9265704]

You just explained perfectly how I feel...she's smart she hilarious. I see a madigan clip posted I get excited and get situated in my special designated area and start watching. I've even gone back to older clips to watch again I love her. I'm surprised she wasn't bigger than what she is. Id be complete if her next show was three hour stand up....I'd shut my phone off close blinds lock door and clap my hands twice to alert family I wish to be alone ..I have found my folly for next three hours...(clap clap) depart from me you insulent fools. To which I'm sure my daughter would respond....um right ok so....so if you had maybe $20 dollars I could depart depart further from here for the day...to which I'd throw her a tube socks filled with nickles and Chuck e cheese tokens from 2002. I asses that's how it would go down if Kathleen had a three hour special...either that or y'all look at me everybody HUSH I WANT YALL OUT OF THE HOUSE TAKE THE CAT WITH YOU SHES ALL OVER THE PLACE....WHOSE SHOES ARE THESE? HEY! DONT PUT THAT EMPTY POPTART BOX BACK IN THE CABINET THROW IT....GIVE IT HERE...YALL GO! OR SO HELP ME THREE HOURS IS ALL I ASK JUST....WHO SMELLS LIKE WET DOG? GET OUT....but it would come out like the get out from Amityville horror. And even though I clearly must have a demonic entity in me they'd ask if it had $20 since mom not available. I'm pretty sure that'd be exactly how it would happen. I'm sorry I could've just said I feel same way love Kathleen but here we are

Pot's been legal in California for about a year and a half now, and I had totally forgotten about it because it has made absolutely no difference around here. Everyone that would use it, was already using it. The only difference now is where they pick it up.

[@civil_villain]

Livid Imp You can't just go around spouting truth and common sense on the internet...

[@LividImp]

You're right, I'm sorry. Because of my irresponsible actions, there is someone out there is sitting on the couch, giggling at an objectively unfunny skit by a popular KZbinr. Worse yet, they might be spending time listening to Dave Mathews Band while eating one of the culinary abortions served at Jack-in-the-Box after midnight. Another life tragically wasted. How will our nation ever recover? RIP USA

I miss watching new episodes of this show because it's the best way to get aware of news without having to watch news. And I HUGELY SUPPORT the writers and musicians and Stephen and everyone else on this show in the big strike, for as long as it takes to get what you're asking. I'm glad I can still see previous episodes like this one.

[@jenesisxtreme]

Oh heck. They're on strike. I heard a little about that situation. Didn't know Colbert was apart of it. I guess it must be a bigger thing then I knew about. I don't get to watch much TV and don't do social media apps, just not my thing, too busy with life. Thanks for the comment. I wouldn't have even known til the holidays start when I get some proper time off. Take care.

[@CAT-ce4ds]

She was great ! Loved her bit here. The "Pa Pa" structure was so on point. I'm Canadian and for the last few years have wondered why so many white old men run American politics. If you look around the entire World. There is no other place that has a literal Senior Citizens club running their Countries. Sure an old man here and there involved in leadership in other Countries, but not like the US old timer's club. Time for American citizens, irregardless of what party you vote for, to vote in younger leaders. Great job Kathleen ! I'll be looking for your Netflix show.

[@catherinegelles2715]

Voting in millennials who don’t even know what fucking gender they are...yeah, great idea.

[@HawklordLI]

The real issue is why do they keep getting reelected? Americans constantly piss and moan and complain about politicians then turn around and vote them in over and over and over again. Like Bill Maher said 'This (the USA) is a stupid country'.

[@cassiecwilliams]

@@catherinegelles2715 this is a very rude and outdated way of thinking. At the end of the day, we’re all people, and you show yourself to be the kind of hateful and bigoted person who can’t bring themselves to afford another person basic human decency. I don’t think that’s the flex you think it is. What does it cost you to say they or them? Which by the way is grammatically correct in the English vernacular, and has been used since the 1300’s to describe a singular person when gender is irrelevant to the conversation or plot. You don’t seem to understand that everyone is different, and we police what people call us by all the time. When you prefer a nickname and tell people to call you that instead should you be berated for it? I’d suggest you look inward and try to realize what has made you such a closed minded and hate filled individual that others trying to be authentic to themselves and living their own lives bothers you so much. And also, just how does it effect you? I’m female, I was born female I’ve never felt I wasn’t, but that doesn’t mean I don’t respect the people who have gender dysphoria or that I feel the need to negate their experiences simply because I haven’t felt them myself.

Hey, I live in Florida! So do my parents. My mother has Alzheimer’s and my stepfather can’t remember anything. To compound the problem, they watch Fox News all day everyday. I can’t really even talk to them anymore. We used to just disagree. Now they insult me and call me names. Fox News made them crazy and mean.

[@MrJonsonville5]

Maybe if you use parental controls to block fox news, and lock the TV on a better channel you can convince them that they've been liberals the whole time. If their memory problems are bad enough, it just might work! On a serious note though, that sounds like a really messed up situation, I feel for you.

[@kellykerr5225]

Jonny-5 Thank you! That is a good idea, but they have a different cable company and the last time I tried to help them with their tv, my stepfather got pissed. It’s like when he was frustrated because he couldn’t wire the ceiling fan and needed to call an electrical person. I fixed it in ten minutes. He was furious at me. I guess I insulted his manhood lol

[@mysnellvilleblog]

Kelly Kerr Yeah, you’ll just have to become an actress while you’re over there...sad to say but you’ll never convince them about anything so just learn some non-committal responses like “I see your point.” Saying you see his/her point doesn’t mean you agree, but it will defuse a lot of stuff.

If politicians are over retirement age then they need to be retired...they can go live under their golden parachutes

[@tigerbaby5316]

when the retirement age was set at 65, most people died by 70. now most live decades after retirement. why call for them to withdraw into stagnation instead of living richly and contribution to society?

[@j7286]

It's not a high quality life. My parents stopped living 'richly' as in being active and engaged with the world when they were in their sixties. My dad was sick the last 10 years of his life. But politicians don't work 8 hour days, they don't work 5 days a week, they get long breaks, they have a sit-down job ---- that's one of the reasons they don't retire ---- that, and their egos are constantly fed, and they like the power and kickbacks. Normal people can't keep standing on their feet, actively working, much past 70 ---- even if they don't die until 90.
