Tom Hanks and Stephen Trade Blows Over Indians Vs. Cubs

Lifelong Cleveland Indians fan Tom Hanks wants to see his team win a World Series, much to the chagrin of lifelong Chicago Cubs fan Stephen Colbert. They also prove age doesn't matter when it comes to throwing (and taking) a punch.

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!"

The brilliance of Tom hanks is he can keep you intrested when you know nothing about the story. I barely watch baseball and don't know any of those players but that story was still entertaining as hell.

[@0991ekul]

because of that story i want to travel across the vast oceans to the US just to watch a baseball game

[@jaihind2816]

it's a pointless stupid game, just like rest of the american sports.

[@VivaLaPigotry]

Arin Kulshi he's like a white Morgan freeman

[@retired5249]

All games are...in every country. But it makes millions of people happy! and gives them something to do and enjoy life. Grow up man.

[@Esprite9]

Michael Walters A

[@SushantThapaliya]

I said this the last time he was here, but Tom Hanks needs to be in every episode of the Late Show.

[@kenneth5638]

サパリーヤスシャント nice name

[@zcrib3]

Tom Hanks seems to be one of those few celebrities who actually gets that their function in the shows is to be entertaining and work for it.

[@michaelmistretta4771]

zcribe yeah except Tom Hanks is and old pro and he could do this show in his sleep

[@Tracymmo]

Yeah, just like he has a reputation for working hard for his SNL appearances.

[@Jewlzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Tracymmo like DAVID PUMPKINS

[@PanickedTato]

What makes Tom Hanks so amazing is that he is just naturally comfortable in every situation. He doesn't care that he's there to be "interviewed." He just wants to enjoy life and have a conversation about things he loves. Seriously the man is a legend among legends.

[@chedderburg]

Tom Hanks == America's Dad

[@SachinGanpat]

True story.

[@Tracymmo]

Which is funny to those of us who first knew him from Bosom Buddies and Bachelor Party.

[@beadybaby]

Stephen Colbert = America's geeky older brother

[@argeshagan7407]

even tom hanks' trash talk is adorable as hell...

[@reginaphalange3740]

Arges Hagan I love how if it were any other celebrity talking trash and saying to Colbert "oh just shut up!" Everyone would be like "What an asshole!", but Hanks still makes it lovable and acceptable lol

[@bills755]

Great interview with David Pumpkins!

[@bearheart2009]

David S. Pumpkins (^^,)

[@mindoverbread1213]

Hahahahahahahahaha

[@ambercherise2391]

ANY QUESTIONS?!

[@salilbhatnagar]

David S. Pumpkins actually. ANY QUESTIONS?

[@salilbhatnagar]

Themachine 26 DAVID S. PUMPKINS!!

[@nabanitabanerjee9385]

His reaction when Stephen asks if he can punch back!!LOL

[@kh7688]

It is literally impossible to hate Tom Hanks. A true great!!!

[@arnoldstalone3667]

Tom Hanks was in a lot of the Greatest Movies of All Time. Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile, Philadelphia, Apollo 13, Road to Perdition, Catch Me If You Can.. Dude is a Legend.

[@zachhall8043]

Private Ryan is my favorite movie of all time

[@Marieq]

Clevelander here! Just wanted to let you all know more wonderful things about him. He lived in Lakewood 5 mins away from CLE ( where I was born and raised. 2 months ago he was in Lakewood to look at his old house, went to lkwd high ( where I went!) BC that was the stage he used for his Shakespeare. Anyways he just walked into our local pizza shop and took a selfie with EVERYONE in there. He also popped in other places around town unannounced and did the same thing, he is such a humble great guy!

[@dimavasilev5342]

If they ever do a film about FOX "News" in any capacity, Tom Hanks would be an excellent choice for Bill O'Reilly

[@hakim6158]

Somebody needs to tell Tom that we'll accept his stand up with the warmest of hearts .. he did it in the 80s for a movie .. he kept doing it for fun for a couple of years then he stopped .. we want to see him do it !

[@asifansari6932]

"Do you i get to punch back or its a one sided thing?" Tom Hanks : "Ohh" XD

[@somethingclever4563]

Hanks 2020........any questions?

[@somethingclever4563]

Now that's a ticket I can get behind! With press secretary Bill Burr and speech writer Norm Macdonald.

[@somethingclever4563]

lol thanks for the correction

[@Ou8y2k2]

Hanks/Colbert 2020 Secretary Of Defense Rob Riggle Press Secretary Don Rickles Department of Energy Elon Musk Chief of Staff Jon Stewart AG Larry Lessig Secretary of State Bono Secretary of Treasury Warren Buffett

[@noobofalltrades9766]

[@user-xo9ck5ew5g]

"You've got mail" IS the best tom hanks' movie ❤

[@We_Reddit]

*This November, i'm writing in "Tom Hanks" as President on my ballot.*

[@ladyloki9266]

[@ladyloki9266]

[@Rickyee]

lunared moon no, he's an idiot. Cyanide or water is on the menu. Nobody offered Fanta .. get it? Good.

[@ladyloki9266]

sorry you feel that way, doesn't make you any less cool same as him.

[@davidleedutton]

I actually saw Rocky Colavito play at Cleveland Municipal Stadium during his last season with the Indians in 1967. And I was born and grew up just east of Cleveland, so I have to go along with Tom on this.

[@DuranmanX]

5:43 Tom Hanks just named one of my favorite KOF characters

[@brandonwright1414]

This was priceless

[@parisdylandoesthings]

Houston, we have a problem: They're called "Quotations" not "Parentheses". :)

[@84bonez]

I love Tom Hanks but hearing that he is rooting for the tribe made me love him even more. 216 against the world

[@Marieq]

yes! Cleveland baby 216!!!

[@mrs25159ify]

Brenden Johnson yes Cleveland against the World we got this tonight I love my city and always will ❤️❤️❤️

[@Vol4Life75]

Brenden Johnson Go Cubs

[@ohioagainsttheworld676]

yeah it's all totally against me.

[@joemckim1183]

As a Cardinal fan I like anyone who roots against the Cubs.

[@NatashaSallesSoprano]

Applauses for the band playing Debussy, AWESOME.

[@romanr9883]

just make sure to finish on the bach, never finish on debussy

[@brandnutopian]

"Applause" is always singular.

[@NatashaSallesSoprano]

brandnutopian thank you

[@robinpeat]

Tom Hanks for President!!

[@alexhortdog95]

People forget that Tom Hanks did comedy for a long time.

[@captainlongdongquivers4463]

Cast Away - Best Tom Hanks movie.

[@savyjett]

When he says “cappuccino” it takes me right back to you’ve got mail. ☺️

[@greenbamboo777]

Tom Hanks! I've never clicked 'like' so quickly XD

[@AlmostaFlipinSkater]

As an American association football fan, I'm glad to see soccer referenced in an American talk show. Not surprised it's on Colbert's show though.

[@TCt83067695]

I just smiled throughout...

[@gordonrickunder1957]

If Tom Hanks is rooting for Cleveland in the World Series that's good enough for me. Go Tribe.

[@Marieq]

Yesss! Cleveland native here! 216 baby! BTW just to show some more wonderful things about the wonderful Hanks, he came to Lakewood where I'm from 5 mins away from the cle. 2 months ago went in our local pizza shop and took selfies with everyone in there! he is an awesome guy!

[@mrs25159ify]

Gordon Rickunder and Charlie sheen is rooting for the Indians let's go Indians Cleveland against the World baby ❤️❤️⚾️⚾️

[@yashiAR]

always the best...Tom hanks!

[@ParthJoshi09]

The Banter was TOP CLASS.

[@shobarsch]

Debussy's Prélude #1 as entrance... This is a classy show.

[@SuperBSmeter]

Home of the World Series of Rock, too! Yo Mamma loves Tom Hanks!

[@anthonylebaron866]

This might be a bit esoteric, but the band is playing an obscure Debussy prelude as Tom walks on. Danseuses de Delphes.

[@VorpalMethod]

Opening music: a cover of Debussey's Danseuses de Delphes

[@43bikeguy]

Tom Hanks is such a good guy

[@koco23]

“& I know the entire world & three-legged dogs & orphan children are all rooting for the Chicago Cubs…” I DIED hahaha you gotta love the underdog 😂❤️💙❤️💙 we waited TOO long for that victory

[@BridgeFour05]

What a sight. Tom Hanks and Stephen Colbert. I love them *sigh*

[@R0B3RTP4UL50N]

My heart aches for Cleveland still. Its 2020 now. This loss crushed me.

[@TheReaverOfDarkness]

That punch was epic! XD

[@silentqueue2344]

DOGSO! And sorry 'bout the Villa relegation, Tom. Glad to see the 'real' football reference.

[@mustermannfm]

Don't worry, last season he spoke about his affection for Leicester City, so he was able to hop onto that bandwagon. (from a bitter Villa fan)

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

Last year, EVERYONE had affection for LC.

[@elisabethsmom4994]

Rock'n'Peace Cleveland Municipal Lakefront Stadium! And nice impression of Studs Terkel, Tom Hanks!! Go Tribe #windians #believeland

[@SuperSupermanX1999]

Considering he had to go through boot camp and some actual military training for Saving Private Ryan, Tom Hanks could probably throw a killer punch if he really wanted to. He wouldn't, of course, because he's perfect.

[@crazyvideoholic9380]

Woah that punch to Hanks was hard.

[@christopher4459]

Mr. Hanks was almost on point. It did go to game 7, it was tied in the bottom of the ninth and it did last almost 5 hours. I was there and it was a great game, too bad my Indians lost but the Cubs fought hard and deserved the win.

[@paulramos4037]

Tom Hanks's Game 7 prediction is accurate! But still, GO CUBS!!!!

[@paulramos4037]

CUBS pawned Indians!

[@edwinmalachy]

epic game. left field Homer. rain delay. extra inning. one strike out away from winning.

[@bearheart2009]

It's David S. Pumpkins! o my word, i love Tom Hanks (66,)

[@jackiechun99]

7:56 Gesture- Tom Hanks goofy punch

[@danimation88]

6:10 That.... is.... PEYTON... MANNING.....

[@fcm3d]

I love Tom Hanks SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! Turner and Hooch!

[@elisabethschannel7262]

Awesome impersonation of Studs Terkel on the typewriter by Tom Hanks! Go Tribe #Windians

[@scarbo1989]

Jon Batiste & Stay human have been coming up with some great jazzy renditions of classical compositions. First Beethoven, now Debussy's "danseuses de delphes"! What next... Prokofiev? great work, guys!

[@CARLIEGIRL00]

It's strange how close he got to predicting it!

[@drtmuir]

Mike "The Human Rain Delay" Hargrove! 😂

[@ArtificialGamingIntelligence]

Tom Hanks is the best.

[@perseph1]

I grew up watching Rocky Colavito and Sam McDowell, then moved 6 blocks from Wrigley and became a Cub fan while watching Ryne Sandberg and Rick Sutcliffe. Never expected this. Ever. BTW Stephen, Dunston played short. Remember the Shawon O Meter?

[@RudieObias]

Cleveland!!!

[@mariannemarrapodi1734]

I now love you Tom Hanks all is forgiven thank you for the Cleveland Indians shout out here is to the meteor crash!

[@CMontgomeryBurns09]

It's Cleveland's year.

[@Marieq]

[@CrociatoAzzurro]

[@TheFrozenfish]

You hit Tom Hanks! You actually hit Tom Hanks!

[@mikeseaquest9246]

I like Tom hanks

[@shadowknave1]

I would love to meet him. He seems so full of good spirit.

[@mistertibbs1105]

Tom Hanks almost called the ending to game 7. But it happened in the 8th with Rajai Davis hitting the game tying HR

[@Babychoocho]

Gotta Love David Pumpkins

[@kaktees]

"Jon Baptiste" LOL!

[@shotmeindaface]

7:58 That sneaky kick !

[@darkinstinctful123]

Somebody take his meds away!

[@bradheisenberg2485]

You say 3 words to him and he goes on a 6 minute monologue

[@andrewstolzmann2663]

"First base is Mark Grace, third base is Ryno, outfield is Shawon Dunston..." -A guy who watched a few Cub games in the early 90s, but didn't pay attention very hard.

[@eddydayvlog]

Tom Hanks greatest person alive

[@brendanmcnassar4565]

Hey, Tom almost called it. Game 7, bottom of 9th, game tied long game...... Genius.

[@galacticpopulators6956]

Go Cubbies !!!

[@isaiahadamsvlogs5309]

Why did the band open with Debussy prelude no. 1?! So awesome!

[@prodigy5373]

The Cubs haven't won a World Series in anyone's lifetime. Better not happen now, I'm rooting for the Indians!

[@MotionPictureMuse]

That's why everyone wants them to win... most people root for the underdog.

[@Marieq]

Yessss! 216 baby! Us against the world baby!

[@mrs25159ify]

Prodigy let's go Indians we can do this Cleveland against the World ❤️❤️❤️
