After Show: Stephen Colbert Says Donald Trump's Tweeting Has No Dignity |

[@LexingtonB09]

I'm so in love with Stephen Colbert 😍😍

[@brackobalm6457]

T-RexLex We all are, we all are...

[@andrewwilliams5792]

People accuse Colbert of not really being very intelligent because he has a dozen or so writers on his show. This clip, and others, prove that is wrong.

[@WhoFuxWho]

no yeah, those who write colbert off in this way literally haven't seen anything from him besides what they comment on. they couldn't have seen anything else-- there's a lot of footage of him improvising incredibly wittingly

[@eizhowa]

There is a limit on how dumb you can be and talk that much that fast without ever putting your foot in your mouth. Even though he has writers, I doubt he follows it word by word.

[@gallery7596]

Yes, and they're pretty naïve if they don't think every network talk show host has a staff of writers working for them.

[@PhobeBarrymore]

He used to be a writer and correspondent on The a Daily Show...

[@joelarmstrongmusic]

there's also that time when he was, oh yeah, on a little known improv team called Second City..

[@kgs42]

Colbert steadily gives away that he is very bright.

[@saihemebillings2820]

Colbert is by far the quickest, and smartest of all the late night hosts with Noah coming in second. Colbert could actually do morning tv news and dominate ratings.

[@carolelerman9686]

yeah on CNN MSNBC.

[@realunitedstatesrepublic3005]

One trick pony

[@mumbaijazz]

Can there be any doubt that Stephen is one of the quickest on the uptake and a tremendous comedic talent! I am at a loss at people who give all the credit to his writers (who are no doubt good, but at least 50% of the credit goes to Donald)!

[@redlightmax]

+Anthony Joseph "... at least 50% of the credit goes to Donald" Wait, you what now?

[@OrcoDevelopment]

Stephen Colbert is such a southern gentleman. Inviting the Pres on his show even though he's disgusted by him.

[@bluecocacola]

OrcoDevelopment even though he had trash talk trump numerous times...

[@NapoleonBonaparte5]

That only proves that this guy is a hypocrite and would do anything for ratings and to push his globalist agenda

[@edithleuschner8422]

get a grip, you moron , nobody cares what you think of him.

[@ancantiladodecaminante623]

lol Obviously you do!! Clown

[@ancantiladodecaminante623]

Edith Leuschner ooooh pobrecita! Do you want me to send you some tissue! Stupid winer!

[@justinhamilton8647]

Damn, Colbert is one dreamy man.

[@lozman67]

Bill, back away from the cigars.

[@michaelsanchez5954]

Bill Clinton MR. Clinton long time listener first time caller.... come on man there was more than one wasn't thier?

[@yaseerapatel3628]

Bill Clinton "I did not have sexual relations with that talk show host"

[@dumpthechump1769]

Why don't you stupid trumpturds get over Bill Clinton. Do you admire him that much? Can't stop thinking about him?

[@bizarreworld2510]

dumpthe chump its not that they admire him but rather who he reminds them of

[@minish1]

He does not know what dignity is, so there is no way he can learn.

[@motab9907]

I already thought Colbert was brilliant but damn as a guest he's amazing

[@AisuruMirai]

Andy Cohen: "Do you think [Trump] will find that dignity?" Stephen Colbert: "I'm sure he'll want it eventually." Donald Trump has been without it for 70 years. How much eventuallier can you get?

[@WhoFuxWho]

"eventuallier" lol, but yeah seriously though

[@Genesis23OPB]

AisuruMirai and will probably invade some countries to get it.

[@maragathm]

Trump real problem is that he wants dignity he craves it desperately more than anyone else, but his definition of dignity is very different from everyone else's. He thinks dignity is making people believe his lies who cares if it is not the truth in other words he has no conscience, he thinks dignity is how many people show up to his inauguration he doesn't understand that even if 100 sane people heard him speak it is worth more than 10 million insane people quality versus quantity, he thinks dignity is in ratings but majority of those who tune in to watch him fire people are laughing at him, he thinks true power lies in how many peoples mind he can change but doesn't understand if your influence perpetuates more negative influence it is no victory, he thinks morals are accessories of poor people but no they are validation of being a human being not an criminal, he thinks people are cheering when he speaks because he can't tell the difference between being mocked and admired.

[@bancoran]

Mirthula Govindaraj Basically, He's been trying to prove to everybody for all of his adult life that he's not just some no-talent mook from Queens who had to be hand carried to every success he had, is what you're saying.

[@napsternoel]

that was the joke...

[@msstephaniexiong]

colbert is so smart and talented

[@realunitedstatesrepublic3005]

What else does he talk about other than negative things about our country and the current admin.

[@hpcrazy06]

great improv by colbert here. dude's quick on his feet. not surprising, still fucking impressive

[@redlightmax]

+hpcrazy06 Those years at Second City paid off.

[@heymikkao]

Stephen's intellect is in an entire different galaxy than Trump's (lack thereof)

[@ROOKTABULA]

Michael Kao So is the average 12 year old too, to be honest.

[@ilzemuehlelnbachs3051]

ROOKTAB

[@GrahamBarth]

If you're reading this, Trump, that means the difference is big league.

[@elena6519]

stephen quoted the lovesong of j. alfred prufrock "each person has a face for the faces that they meet". He's so damn well-read and smart

[@nigeledwards5713]

Yes that was pretty impressive wasn't it? he didn't even pause

[@Neontronique]

This is by far the best episode I have ever seen of Andy Cohen. This was honestly the best. Stephen is right, make it longer, or have him on with a few more drinks. I could watch those 2 talk for a solid hour full of commercials.

[@stormwatcher59]

My first time here, it's good!

[@mrspone1000]

use adblock pro - no commercials ever . i wont watch 1 advert for anyone .

[@johnpetromelis2887]

Karl Fernandez-Cao se.

[@elena6519]

Damn, Colbert is a smart and well-read guy. He quoted the lovesong of j. alfred prufrock "each person has a face for the faces that they meet"

[@mizuhonova]

Wow that was so short. We need a one hour interview. GET TO WORK ANDY!

[@JoshuaAGalvan77901]

Colbert has mad dignity.

[@okwaho5316]

The difference from when Colbert answers questions and when Trump answers questions is a) Colbert actually answers the question b) Colbert is literally and easily understood c) Colbert answers are witty and intelligent while being truthful meaningful. Trump literally does the opposite of all those things... Maybe he's just been playing the opposite game with Colbert this hole time?

[@pamgudgeon4354]

In England I tune in to all Colbert's programmes and I think he is great.

[@caitiemelady]

He was being kind by saying "he'll want it eventually"@ 2:36... the man is 70 years old, he's kind of running out of time :(

[@eizhowa]

Sure, but most people change on their deathbed.

[@thesavantart8480]

eizhowa By that time he probably isn't the president anymore.

[@JbMuz]

Can't run out fast enough...

[@caitiemelady]

eizhowa true, like Citizen Kane, if only Trump had a rosebud...

[@celticwolff5429]

C Panfilio He'll say "Original recipe"

[@carterbang4074]

have always loved Colbert such a level-headed man just listening to him makes me feel smarter 😂

[@realunitedstatesrepublic3005]

Watch cartoons

[@FiveSigma72]

Dignity and that hair are diametrically opposed.

[@mustardseed308]

"Dignity is a popular thing to have"... Stephen Colbert. Yes!

[@kamanni7]

Enjoyed this!! Stephen Colbert is on point!! Mike Pence is way scarier than Trump, only because he knows politics. He seems to be just waiting on the sidelines while Trump constantly messes up, daily. Should Trump be impeached, the role would go to Pence...Wish they would just do a special election for something like this....

[@Nalaroar]

Colbert's rendition of the ambiguously gay duo gave me LIFE!!! Bring him back soon!!

[@batintheattic7293]

I don't know who (must be some show that hasn't crossed the Atlantic) they are talking about, jotarosa, but it sounded like they were saying 'ambiguously' rather than 'ambitiously'.

[@AisuruMirai]

Probably a typo on *jotarosa* 's part. _The Ambiguously Gay Duo_ was a collection of short cartoons that occasionally appeared on _Saturday Night Live_ .

[@TRIGAROLA]

jotarosa Ha HA! - Phil Ken Sebben (for those needing the ref pt)

[@violal1460]

I loved the ambiguously gay duo! It was hilarious!

[@Nalaroar]

damn predictive text on my phone. Yes, I meant ambiguously gay lol not ambitiously! haha

[@Stephieandcheech]

Love Colbert. He should run for president 2020.

[@realunitedstatesrepublic3005]

Isn't the dump public great

[@michaelanderson5747]

You can tell this is about 120 days old. LOL

[@RustinChole]

Omfg the ambiguously gay duo! How did I ever forget😂

[@MS-dh9gh]

WE WANT MORE!!

[@joe6762]

I have two comments on Demented Donny's tweets: 1. The tweets are better than hearing him speak and ruin the English language (He speaks and I scream) and 2. Without Demented Donny tweeting, where would late night comedians get such good material (It is unfortunate that he is deluded)?

[@thisisacrappyusername892]

From now on I shall refer to the orange as demented Donny, the most beautiful rendition of his name

[@joe6762]

Thank you

[@ProperlyGaming]

John B if lying Ted would have came back with Demented Donny maybe we wouldn't have Trump in office today.

[@michgrego6209]

COVFEFE

[@TheGoofy1932]

If he's tweeting then he is not making policy or meeting with foreign leaders. I say let him tweet. Let him play golf. Let him eat cake and ice cream. Keep his attention diverted and distract him. You know, like you would do with any difficult three year old.

[@joaofariaff]

1:17 Stephen Colbert: "Sir... come on the show." Andy Cohen: "Yas."

[@BLACKMETALMUZIK]

I could have watched an hour of this lol

[@sideonsid2885]

In 2012, Colbert wrote a bestselling book with an incredibly hilarious and prescient title - " *America Again : Re-becoming The Greatness* We Never Weren't."

[@cthat8247]

Stephen...you and Johnny Carson are in a league of your own

[@realunitedstatesrepublic3005]

Cobert is Not in Carson's league. Carson actually had different topics and wad positive about our democracy

[@jabrakoma]

i love this guy. so much style

[@dancarter7581]

Colbert was playing with Cohen the way a lion would play with a mouse, not trying to harm it but enjoying the tussle

[@Alex-jg2bc]

I love watching hosts being on other hosts' show- it makes them all seem like friends and family. I mean some probably are (John/Jon/Stephen etc.) but it's nice to see.

[@mistasharp3875]

This guy is a lot smart than I thought he was

[@Lady_Crispr]

Omg I didn't realize Stephen Colbert was behind one of my all time favorite shorts, the Ambiguously Gay Duo. I actually just stood up from my computer and pointed at it in shock. I have always loved them, and I have always loved Colbert, but I never connected the two. Now that I think about it I totally should have recognized it. I love it!

[@amyj4106]

Picket Pants i have those things too! Where you love a famous icon, and something else but dont connect the two!! Eg Allison Janney and Peach

[@Youthgirl1999]

FIRST finally!!I would like to thank my friends and family!! Without them this wouldn't have been possible. To everyone reading, believe in yourself you can achieve whatever you put your mind to.

[@beckymyrhum5808]

One of the most emotional First Award speeches I have heard... it made me laugh, it made me cry.

[@caramama1731]

Youthgirl1999 😂😂😂

[@rax816]

Youthgirl1999 dafuq..you were THIRD! 😡

[@waynebrinker8095]

Raxa Emu - Don't be a jerk. Click comments "Newest First". She's FIRST. This gracious, vivacious, young lady just experienced the most exhilarating moment of her young life and you chime in and try to ruin it. SHAME on you! BIGLY! BIGLY SHAME! Youthgirl1999 giggity giggity!

[@Youthgirl1999]

Y'all making me emotional with all the positive comments

[@bettysharp8813]

Love Colbert.. the most intelligent humor

[@tristankennedy9673]

Man Colbert laying down the personal responsibility of the president to convey an appearance that will dignify what America is, and the audience is silent. I don't know if that's bad for Stephen or humanity...

[@fannykemble1]

Tristan Kenedy ha ha

[@arielsterling2614]

I love Andy and Stephen.💕

[@luckyDancer100]

Agree about the tweeting. The president tweeting is weird to me... it seems really undignified for a man in that position

[@MeredithAnne88]

luckyDancer100 thank you!! I'm not the only one.

[@realunitedstatesrepublic3005]

Yes he should rely on Colbert and CNN to Address the issue of the day Lol lol lol

[@tiffanyalexandria9480]

his thoughts on tweeting are spot on

[@sailorjupiter4]

asdfg i choked on my spit @ the president snow comment omg the accuracy lmao

[@JasonB95]

Stephen Colbert is such a brilliant man. I find it's only when he's interviewed that he truly gets to demonstrate his intelligence.

[@luthercoleman]

Episode aired 5 January 2017

[@kathaxgr]

Stephen is such a gentleman.He's extremely smart AND handsome!

[@rainbowsforrooney]

Stephen quoted T.S. Eliot! :D

[@v.leewalker8640]

Love Stephen Colbert!

[@ynvnxvl]

*Immediately looks up clips of 'Ambiguously Gay Duo' :D

[@NewMessage]

It's all about dignity. It really is. Now.. who's got my pants?

[@cliffbulldozer5134]

the johnny quest reference was amazing

[@v.leewalker3095]

Stephen Colbert is the best!

[@PhillyFrank1]

I'm watching this a month later -- Trump still hasn't managed to bring dignity to his enactment of the presidency. If anything, he is more boorish and just as crazed with the early morning tweet storms. Trump doesn't have it in him to be a proper President.

[@SamuelRiv]

Could your channel please put the original broadcast/webcast and recording date in the description and, if you're going to post months after the fact, the title? This was obviously made in January or February.

[@JazzyBabe56]

I"ve never seen that guy before (Andy Cohen) - he's really sweet! ♥

[@elchiniorl849]

Holy shit I feel pretty stupid that I didn't know Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell were the voice actors for the ambiguously gay duo

[@izaccy]

Holy shit Stephen Colbert reminded me about Jonny Quest, man use to watch the cartoon as a kid

[@caroljomartin3051]

I would've enjoyed an hour of this conversation!!! That was FAR TOO SHORT!!!

[@kreyain]

So does the late show come on after the after show? or does the after show come on later than the late show?

[@bojangles5503]

should have gone on until Colbert finished that glass of whiskey

[@loraz5343]

I could marry this man Talking about Stephen obviously. The second I learned he was a book nerd I was like *I'm in*

[@sdu5920]

Are those Donny and Marie dolls behind Stephen?? :D

[@gailcirillo3294]

and here we are now

[@bluesky6028]

Brilliant & funny , what a lethal combo !

[@PerryNoydicus]

those light-bright things are so damn cool

[@dianaristoski3170]

I love Stephen.

[@D_isco_D_ancer]

i Like COLBERT more and more with time. I like him on character and off character like a human

[@LividImp]

Andy Cohen looks like Henry Rollins's nicer, less intense little brother.

[@härjaren]

Livid Imp haha

[@erlindabrunt]

My family thinks tweeting is an addiction.

[@ladykatnip7698]

He's like the Candyman.... My favorite joke.

[@stone1andonly]

Finally!! I knew I couldn't be the only person who saw how much Mike Pence looks like Race Bannon!

[@yokie52]

Race Bannon...My FAV cartoon as a child...that theme song...When we took the kids to see the Incredibles...I turned to my husband and said, "Johnny Quest."

[@jhhone]

I agree that WWHL should be an hour!

[@albertchristian1]

"Do you think he'll find that dignity?" "I'm sure he's gonna want it eventually..." Three years later... lol

[@natsune09]

Here we are, a year later, a reaction from this video with after after thoughts by Stephen Colbert would be interesting

[@dbone3356]

I loved The Ambiguously Gay Duo... Well most things from "Saturday T.V Funhouse"... But especially that.

[@sarahmichelle6385]

I really want to meet a man this elegant. This smart... this.

[@nappybiscuit]

What did he mean at 4:15 ?

[@Iroxinping]

This was WAY too short...these should be 10-20 mins at the least

[@pertyone1]

Personally I think that whatever dignity Trump had was completely obliterated when he mocked the disabled reporter. I just don't get why this wasn't enough for anyone to be totally turned off Trump, regardless of political persuasions. I also don't get how any Republican, with a shred of integrity, can still stand beside him - they have the majority in both houses, why they just don't get rid of Trump now, rather than later, is beyond me (particularly given public opinion on Trump). Seriously Trumpers, I can give you a pass for your early support of Trump (even though there has been plenty of evidence over the course of his life to show that he is a total knob), but still continuing your adulation of Trump, regardless of the scandals and his total ignorance about America in general, is not only ridiculous, it's unsettling,

[@jillniemczynski5517]

Stephen Colbert. Now THAT is a stable genius!!!!!!

[@TaysTings]

Colbert looks so much younger here it was only 2 years ago😂

[@KevinKosmoArt]

I'm not from the west and am not familiar with some gestures. Stephen mimic playing violin at 0:39 . What does that mean?

[@radboog]

He's playing a sad song on his violin to accompany the sad story of the person complaining. "I'm so busy...I have no free time..."

[@KevinKosmoArt]

radboog Oh.. now i get it. Thank you! :)

[@eligoitein6499]

he;s mocking the other guy's self-pity

[@kumasan812]

Trumps head and his heart were never in the right place.

[@Ayeshteni]

Kuma San well they are both outside his body for a start

[@MisterGuitarItalia]

Is this Andy character, "special" as in a Forrest Gump sort of way?

[@aggressivecalm]

Without even a wiff of irony I say: Colbert 2020 Return America to Greatness #Colbert/2020

[@612Tiberius]

Did anyone notice Colbert"s reflexive motion to go for a drink at the mention of Big Baby Traitor Trump? Don't we all have the same knee-jerk response for the same reason?

[@JMANB5]

When was this recorded? The questions seem outdated.

[@bluefluke7585]

May I be frank with you, honey? No, dear, you were frank last night . . . BaDaDump

[@thesoundsmith]

"...the call me Dickerson..." Or just abbreviate it to the first syllable..." :-) Just a tease , I don't know THIS Cohen. (He ain't Mikey...)

[@jordanfrazierful]

oh shit man thats a big guest

[@eileen1820]

Think about it for a minute. This is Colbert doing damage control. On the gayest show with the gay host after Colbert made a disparaging remark about homosexuals. Transparent AF.

[@joelarmstrongmusic]

nah, they've been on each others shows quite a bit for many years

[@eileen1820]

Seamus, calm TF down. Typical libtard thinking any opinion not aligned with fascist left propaganda is wrong. Refugees are people who fled Castro's Cuba, or someone who I wish could flee North Korea. THOSE are legit refugees. The new alleged refugees are for the most part fucking criminals or people who just want to take advantage of socialist programs in Scandinavia or Europe, you leftist douche.

[@fromchronictocure7152]

I dont' want to create Skuttlebutt.... but is drinking a scotch?

[@peterion5083]

what is it about Colbert ( other than a huge memory ) that gives you confidence that, if pressed , he could recite Eliot's The Waste Land , word perfectly , to camera , whilst engaging in a hilarious twitter-spat with the White House staffers , all without breaking character in a Dr Seuss-a-thon tribute , whilst re-imagining Tolkein for a cabal of Norwegian reindeer herders . ( with or without a Jim Beam to hand ) !?

[@pennyandrews3237]

So tired of this mess still going on a year later. When will it end.

[@emmahinchcliffe]

colbert did an interview in 2019 saying he would not invite trump on the show because he views the office of the presidency with such respect but does not view trump in the same light and worries that he would essentially punch trump. it's crazy how much things have changed within these past two years

[@ashram12]

I disagree with Colbert on the likeliness of Trump gaining dignity: there's no chance that's going to happen. Trump is crass, that's in his nature. He's also too narcissistic and stupid to rein in his baser instincts.He is what he is, and only dementia or Alzheimers will change him.

[@davenorth8922]

The office of the President does not change a man's character, it reveals their character.

[@ashleighjaimaosborne3966]
