When does this roller coaster stop? Somebody please, I need to get off it, this is too much

[@azure_paladin4706]

User is Named but we just left the station and are climbing the hill. we still got the drop and all the twists and turns to go through.

[@jazzx251]

It's breathtaking the amount of winning that's taking place. Nobody could agree with me that we aren't tired already of all this winning!

[@Nobody-fv1wg]

Mai Nem I do agree with you, boy am I tired of this winning!

[@JohnJohnson-sf9xh]

user is named : jump

[@sdgdhpmbp]

I'm getting dizzy just watching. Some screams are entertaining... some being the key word.

[@shiraneidhardt5384]

I am so proud of Colbert taking a stand for justice and truth night after night, and doing so with brilliant humor. You're the best! Thank you!

[@lizabethkane7044]

Iris Mae Starr TRUE true true😉

[@RedNeckActual]

Signing session ... he literally had one job.

[@ronhagerman9109]

RedNeck7355608 He didn't forget. He purposefully ditched the press.

[@delta1525]

Trump had to quickly get to a safe space.

[@op2265]

Ron Hagerman Like how all your friends ditched your 9th birthday party

[@RedNeckActual]

Ron Hagerman But it is idiotic to invite the press to a signing session and then hold a speech and not sign anything. Invite them to a speech if you want to hold a speech infront of the press or just tweet it kappa

[@pizaclatonddd3081]

not only one job, he has another job with putin

[@willardhall1267]

So when can we start the Impeachment Proceedings?

[@jazzx251]

Go to your nearest supermarket - every day, they throw out a ton of perfectly good peaches just because the date has expired. Go around the back and take those peaches - leave in the fruit bowl for four days ... This gives them the required rottenness and softness. March on Mar-y-lago and throw the peaches at Donald Trump as he attempts a delicate 14 yd putt on the 13th hole (unlucky for some). You will have "impeached" the President. There is no other way he can be impeached.

[@JohnJohnson-sf9xh]

It will be very hard to impeach Trump: #1. He is not a law breaker. #2. Most liberal Democrat's in Washington DC are criminals and when they are indited, they will be too busy trying to stay out of prison .

[@BrandonGoodell]

John Johnson I dont think you understand how impeachment works.

[@Bballfan1992]

John Johnson that's funny considering Flynn registered as a foreign agent and lied to Pence and illegally received payment from a foreign government even though he was former military. Paul Manafort had been the one working with Russia last year. Interesting how Trump replaced him last summer. Probably found out Manafort was the one sack door dealing with Russia. So again, look at conservatives who are criminals as well. They are bullshit con artists just like the rest.

[@angelfaye101]

Willard Hall when you vote in a Democrat in the 2018 midterm elections. otherwise with the Republicans in the majority we're screwed.

[@phoebsc5993]

Elect a clown and you get a circus.

[@sdgdhpmbp]

But her emails!

[@Nxt6]

John Johnson so George Bush was a terrorist too? how many terrorists have we had as president. your logic is phenomenal

[@Nxt6]

Emiscary1 its always funny when people make such a big deal about sentence structure and what not on fucking KZbin. Its KZbin LOL. If you care that much about the comment section you must not have anything going on in life. You need to calm down and realize that....well just that this is fucking KZbin lol

[@alexc5967]

Andy Bee #impeachtrumpandcabinet

[@Chunkboi]

Andy Bee I thought you got a serial killer.

[@Dillsfawn]

Relating the trump administration to Decepticons is an insult to Decepticons.

[@Theproclaimed]

Dillsfawn the decepticons wanted to save their planet...... Trump dont want that

[@Grubiantoll]

ye, Decepticons were capable of getting shit somewhat done

[@Markvdl25]

Dillsfawn Decepticons suffer from Fake News given by lying Autobots

[@sokka44]

Dillsfawn make Cybertron great again

[@blakemonway]

It's a trap! We'll make Unicron pay for the wall!

[@bobdolesrevenge]

Shouldn't the Lady Gamecocks be called the Gamehens?

[@ranimeRAT]

Such a better name

[@SuviTuuliAllan]

Emmitt Nervend Sure but some hens have cocks.

[@user-gx7xx5er2j]

if i am bored , i look up trump related news and laugh

[@realreal4140]

watch red velvet songs watch rookie I do the same thing lol

[@emiliemanes5392]

Same here

[@kylesims4124]

Me too... It gives me something to laugh at, because Colbert is amazing!!!

[@mrHunleashesHELL]

Megatron will be a better president than Donald Trump.........if not the best........

[@edwinplayer]

he's HUUUGE! believe me!

[@ZadnoleyaEdits]

Putin's megatron and Trump's starscream

[@sdgdhpmbp]

I'm not too fond of Megatron after the energon grab scandal. Oh well, it's all evil council talk and as a regular member, I admit that I've heard much worse.

[@edwinplayer]

ZadnoleyaEdits in that case, Trump would to be more like Soundwave than Starscream. as Soundwave is loyal to Megatron just like Trump is loyal to Putin. Starscream would backstab Megatron the first chance he gets just like Trump backstab's America.

[@Chunkboi]

Mr. H Too bad Obaptamus Prime had his terms.

[@fidorover]

Trump had to leave the signing ceremony early, as it was almost 5:00 and he didn't want to miss seeing his favorite TV cartoon character, Bret Baier.

[@TheFriendlyTroll]

He's Lego Man.

[@camelsheit_on_the_walls446]

Or maybe it was the alarm for his daily soaking in orange pigment accompanied by the daily delousing of his majestic hair that just went off.

[@Azphreal]

Its because he knew reporters would ask him questions.

[@TerribleUsernameAmirite]

AND I see you once again. How do you comment on every single video I watch?!

[@JohnJohnson-sf9xh]

+Terrible Username Amirite? : our tax dollars keep him well fed and entertained

[@rysun8709]

I came, I saw, I commented. Beware the Decepticons.

[@quimble2177]

Ry Sun oh shit Caesar is that you!?!?

[@rysun8709]

[@fumarc4501]

[@Traskelion]

[@catrionaakacat]

I wonder if America regrets their choice yet ?

[@selekos]

catrionaakacat I do not think that "regret" is in american dictionary. ;)

[@catrionaakacat]

Mai Nem I wouldn't know I wasn't alive

[@Asuratheatheist]

trust me, we regret it.

[@AMbradfordfilms]

Well, most Americans didnt vote for him. The rest, there seems to be some who are removing their blindfolds, but its a slow process.

[@JohnJohnson-sf9xh]

Trump is gaining more support, every time isis terrorists kill people

[@pOpCoRn0531]

Ivanka is the First Lady-Daughter.

[@pauloteixeira763]

Oh my god... you're so right. And that is so creepy... and disgusting. Trump is a repellent person... an ugly orange repellent old man

[@linkinsmommy7908]

Erick G It's not surprising since she has been his daughter-wife since she was born.

[@nobodyknows6040]

I prefer to call her the First Daughter-Wife.

[@92Nick182]

shes related to trump. shes ugly. the fact that shes trumps offspring or lover is disgusting..

[@92Nick182]

Sophia N she's ugly

[@tomindenver1331]

Turns out, Kushner won't be dyeing the eggs. They prefer them all white.

[@princekyle4132]

And aged. Don't forget aged.

[@tuckerbowen4626]

no no, see, that's why it's called an egg HUNT

[@crunk4124]

SOUTH PARK HAD IT RIGHT SINCE THE BEGINNING

[@simoneroberto6204]

I'm sure Trump's podium yelling wouldn't sound as intimidating in German. How do you say "out" again?

[@WhiteFangofWar]

'AUS! Aus, aus, AUS! Hol sie raus!' I find it to be a very intimidating language if you shout it loudly enough.

[@jennithier6287]

Simone Roberto "Raus! Raus! Raus! Schmeißt sie raus!!"

[@PokeRapper5000]

Simone Roberto In German it would sound incredibly Hitler.

[@simoneroberto6204]

#ThatIsTheJoke

[@gracefulsunrise]

oh my god somebody please dub a Trump speech with German

[@TyTheRegularMan]

"I ain't worried about the food." I like how Jon can make me laugh through sheer delivery and without adding to the bit. Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg.

[@1nfuzion]

Jon Batiste is crazy as hell. Stephen: Really soaks up the gravy when you're eatin barbeque Jon Batiste: I aint worried about. 2:44 I'm dead xD

[@KamradO]

decept... and... CON MY GOD

[@fandomgames2170]

who voted for this guy????

[@justhuman24]

Idiots

[@cc22ful]

''Trump advisor Omarosa..'' Kill me now.

[@Altrue]

Stephen just killed it with this episode.

[@artmunozd]

I'm following the show long time ago. I'm watching via internet in Mexico City. Felicidades Esteban Colberto! !!!

[@brainstorm623]

More like "Executive Out-Of-Order", am I right?

[@cocoinco5054]

When grandpa started acting absent minded like that we had to take his keys away

[@ghostmobiil]

Just let Donald's children do all the work. Wonder what Barron Trump will be in charge of...

[@justinhill1708]

Hey, easy there. I can't stand trump either, but let's leave the kid out of this.

[@ghostmobiil]

Justin Hill yeah you're right. I was being a little harsh there

[@princekyle4132]

The EPA.

[@justhuman24]

Medication to cure autism

[@KoalaProductions]

Who writes those people picture labels, "Banker getting stoned for the first time at a vacation." they are absolutely brilliant, every single one of them is perfect. They need a raise!

[@DagobertX2]

He couldn't sign it, because then he would had to delay his golfing session.

[@AnexoRialto]

Republican senators have to stop talking about the "nuclear option". Far to scary when Trump is president.

[@josmo8785]

Let just hope when Trump goes to maralogo and forgets he's president one day

[@timsnyder6635]

GOD BLESS STEPHEN COLBERT! You speak truth to power, you have been for years, and I'm so proud to be a member of the COLBERT NATION STILL.

[@denbighbrown8682]

This might be Steve's best night in a long time. All his jokes landed perfect and delivery was on point. The writers really delivered the goods. 😂

[@MrBoondock1]

Impeachment 2017 Do it.

[@Jasonblade9012]

Can someone tell me the qualifications of Jared Kushner for all this missions? I will be waiting.

[@shermanthompson871]

10:25 I see you Jon with that caravan. Don't you think for a second I missed that.

[@isaacbriefer193]

10:23 I love how Jon finds it the perfect moment for a little Caravan

[@AaronLaZox]

WOW FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS WHAT IVE KNOWN FOR MONTHS NOW. FAKE ASS TWITTER/FB TROLLS ARE EVERYWHERE its insane

[@AaronLaZox]

People called me crazy

[@ficheye00]

Colbert just keeps getting better. His start was a little rocky, but he's a very creative person. He owns it now....

[@liftedtolifebydannab]

Pence called him back to tell #45 that he didn't sign the Executive Orders. WOW!!!

[@cbsboyer]

"There was some impressive ball handling"...and I nearly choked to death on a salted peanut. Well done.

[@HabzTheMovieGuy]

A like for the Transformers joke!

[@danieldaw1778]

Stephen, Stephen, Stephen ... Comparing Trump to Megatron is just downright insulting to Megatron. And Steve Bannon. Trump is at best, and I mean on his absolutely best day, Starscream.

[@transformalizer]

Daniel Daw I think he might actually be more like Galvatron. That's a pretty good comparison if you ask me.

[@Freesingskills19]

the musical interjections of jon batiste are brilliant!

[@LisaLisa-rl3pm]

Impressive ball handling rolling on the floor laughing my balls off

[@KnowBigDeal]

At least Megatron was slightly competent.

[@meccascott7356]

9:30 foreshadowing what was to come wow. History always repeat it self.

[@nonofyabidnez5737]

The way Trump waddles out gets me every time xD

[@ehoffart529]

The "Krusty wants out" picture is pretty much how I feel about this last political season.

[@xvx4848]

Trump's about to go to jail the irony and karma is real.

[@justhuman24]

Karma is a bitch and it knows dumbf's address

[@thebossmana]

@@justhuman24 how's that going

[@indominuswrex9465]

Thank you Stephen for differentiating between what asshurt Republicans want to call "fake news" that simply disagrees with them, and news that has actual inaccuracies.

[@anrina]

Omg 10:39 Backstreet Boys, jazzy style?? I want to hear more of that XD. Nostalgia.

[@lurategh]

"Quit Playing Games with My Heart" at the end! Kill with me the nostalgia, why dontcha? 😩

[@Jasonblade9012]

Trump says "I, alone, can fix it" when he can't fix his hair and use a tape to fix his tie!

[@kedge]

Get out of the Presidency!!! :)

[@animationparmar5607]

kedge no one cares mate btw you are 5th 😂😂

[@sahilp9470]

news will never be the same after 4 years

[@mineMissHellsing]

7:03 That sigh tells everything.

[@Horny_Fruit_Flies]

Colbert, you're really slow to catch on! The Internet has known about Putinbots for years!

[@FAT8893]

Better late than never. ;)

[@1nfuzion]

Wtf was that noise Jon Batiste made at 1:54 lmao!

[@arontyberg1398]

1nfuzion 😂😂

[@KamradO]

I think that was the ghost of Michael Jackson

[@noeliajaime7656]

Look at Rrump getting TF out of there before they ask him more questions...FFS.HE's so pathetic.

[@kevinalonso6338]

You're great Stephen, keep it up.

[@annesimon537]

Megatron is president. lol.

[@ambersonline]

always need more of Jon Batiste's face

[@mikaelacraft7427]

I love the videos where Jon is especially vocal.

[@Aagya11]

that "quit playing games with my heart" ending tho.........

[@ChrisBrown-kv7yh]

If this was a fiction novel it would described as "too unbelievable", America what happened to you?

[@nataleahstuy2940]

i love batiste's commentary in the background hahahahaha

[@KPTorrent]

Best Spicer impression I've seen outside of McCarthy!

[@syedahmedjilanee6041]

get out out out get outta here yeah get out out out out get the hell out OUT OUT get out lol wtf 😂😂

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

"Throw them out in the cold without any coats!" - - that's the one that *really* revealed where his head is at. It was the battle cry of about every 19thc business monopolist. But, I do like the fact he just walked off without signing that executive order. 😂😂 Maybe he didn't really want to sign it to begin with. That's one way to flip the bird to people who have used you.

[@1nfuzion]

lol Jon Batiste..

[@Shardul1997]

I lost it at the "get out!" rant

[@lumpy0100]

Thanks The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.:)

[@DanielGonzalez-uj1wh]

can someone actually give me a reason hillary would be a bad president and/or she should be in prison?

[@yeevita]

Daniel Gonzalez Shes killed thousands of people and owns every police force and bribed millions of people, but no one has proof. Shes a genius. If there is one thing American soicety cant stand: Woman genius!

[@DanielGonzalez-uj1wh]

Yee Vita exactly

[@lynneceegee8726]

Paid troll.

[@gracefulsunrise]

The fact that conservatives think that Hillary should be in prison but Trump is a saint who has done nothing wrong ever is terrifying. Really illustrates the sexism.

[@JohnJohnson-sf9xh]

Hillary should be locked up ; have you seen how ugly she is ; her own husband won't even sleep with her and you can't blame him for that

[@ap_2619]

One thing trump is happy about... kushner is in Iraq and now trump has ivanka at the White House to himself

[@syedahmedjilanee6041]

LMAO 😂 that signing part was hell of funny Mike pence was acting like Trump's little dog

[@mahfah7911]

Love watching these early morning!

[@MicJaguar]

For the love of someones god, take away the mic from the head band dude. His over reaction to jokes and quips are annoying. at the very least, lower the volume little by little till we can't hear him. The "Ohhh! Damn, whoah!" needs to stop. it cheapens the jokes.

[@number1authority]

Charles Bronson I thought I was the only person in the world who felt that way. Everyone else seems eat his schtick up with a ladle. Nothing against him personally... seems like a nice guy... just so intrusive and unnecessary. I bet Stephen was forced by the network to have some focus-group approved sidekick and he makes the best of it. Every once in a great while I swear I can see it on Stephen’s face that the whole act is getting on his nerves.

[@smockytubers1188]

Dear Late Show: Please have the audio guy cut Batiste's mic while Stephen is talking. Thank you.

[@carolg3517]

if anyone can remember back when trump said this" my health plan is so Good that I can't talk about it" if I do someone might steal it from me" hahaha

[@tomvan5247]

Well he didn't actually forget. He mouthed to Pence "we'll sign them in here" cause I guess he was sick and tired of all the questions about treason being thrown at him. Btw I'm not a Trump supporter at all. ✌🏽

[@StewieSta18]

Anyone else mildly irritated by John's laughs in the mic?

[@jamescase6545]

Jon Batista is the worst hype man in late night.

[@CombatLegsVIDS]

James Case I think he's great

[@akhilsingh7011]

Jon "Batista". Lmao, my man

[@6Diego1Diego9]

Jon Batista is awesome dont you say a bad word

[@R.E.D.A.C.T.E.D.]

his voice is really annoying, and he has no comedic timing.

[@pauloteixeira763]

I think it's "Batiste", not "Batista". C'est en français mais les américain ne comprend pas la différence de noms de origine latin XD.

[@joam31]

The hiring of people to manipulate news is one of the plots on the Showtime series "Homeland".

[@michaelconnell1010]

Never thought I'd see an indirect reference to futanari on the Late Show ;)

Almost first!

[@mumbua87]

Vijay Lakshmanan dude, I see you everywhere

[@SuviTuuliAllan]

[@axiomaddict]

He walks in to sign the executive orders and forgets. That's like, he went into the bathroom in the middle of the day to do one thing and one thing only...and forgets why he's there. Is this an early sign of Alzheimers? Really? The Veep has to run after him to remind him?

[@musiclinkscanadainc]

OUT! OUT ! OUT! what a boor.

[@MomSaysImCool]

That last joke was a CLOSER

[@Fyraan]

We need to talk about how the band played him out with Quit Playing Games With My Heart. So fitting for this administration.

[@phoebsc5993]

F..ucking hell. All the winning bigly is going to my head...

[@hannostense1882]

10:24 Caravan Reference :D see what u did there

[@robotadventures]

the closed captions are ahead of the video. its like magic

[@EmmA-ln9he]

That music in the end... Is it me or was it the intro from "quit playing games with my heart" by the Backstreet Boys? I thought Jon Batiste was a classics' man :D

[@michaelamaher]

[@gregorcollins]
