Colbert show debut tonight

I don't care for him, he is not funny at all.  I never liked Letterman either (but he had a few good moments).

2 guests his first week (night?) are George Clooney (doesn't have a movie coming out but is Charter Member Hollywood Progressive) and George Bush(Republican candidate for POUS but not doing a very good job of it and Countryclub Conservative which is the kind the leftist love).

So they replace Letterman with a Progressive who wants to come to work each night.

I'm definitely curious about this guy. His show was kind of funny but didn't seem like talk show stuff. I'll watch tonight.

 Fallon sucks.........have no idea how he got a show.

Agree. Absolutely terrible.

Be the next Carson, said no one ever.

Watching the show right now to give it a shot. No guests yet but the first 20 minutes were about as lame as it gets. Has anyone laughed yet ?

I'm watching and this is horrible

Well, I watched the whole thing. It wasn't the least bit funny and the interviews were ridiculous. One was worse than the other. Lame does not begin to adequately convey how absolutely lacking this show was.Just awful.

I could not not agree with you more; it doesn't take a 'critic' to comprehend this show is a flop, it's not about "give it a chance" it had it's chance, Colbert needs to be Americanized to comedy, something that's just not their; I enjoyed Letterman, and could go as far as to say I was a fan, and sad to see him retire, he'll be missed by many, unfortunately his replacement could not carry his jock strap, let a lone wear it...look for Colbert to be replaced ASA contracually possible.....this late night extravaganza is going nowhere

Jeb Bush is a very, very, weird dude, makes one wonder how on earth he became the governor of Florida, the interview last night was more annoying than humorous. red faced, and sweat beads included, and that fake laugh, and smile were downright ridiculous Will be watching tonight, see what happens/dialogue

Jeb Bush is not weird.  He would make a decent POTUS.  He is Jeb Bush, being very nervous because he now realizes he needs to be out of his comfort zone to win this.  He is not doing well.  Old GOP types are out of fashion.  It is about time somebody delivered the message.  I just don't think Trump has the staying power.

This is certainly reasonable, but I wonder how realistic it is to expect viewers to labor through boring, unfunny hours of late night TV waiting to see whether the host can hit his stride ( if, in fact, he has one, outside of political satire ). I seriously doubt whether today's viewer is willing to do that.

I am curious to know whether anyone found it to be a good show.

That was brutal last night. 

Absolutely unwatchable.  I think they are gearing this show toward the younger demographic, but it comes off as completely moronic.  I thot the first twenty minutes would never come to an end bf the first interview with Clooney.  The interview seemed to be cut short and seemed very awkward; then Jeb Bush comes on and another short, uninteresting bunch of babble.  They spent more time with some sort of musical crap which was ridiculous.  SIMPLY AWFUL. I deleted my timer!!

The guy is a natural. He'll have the seat for as long as he wants it.

The one thing about Colbert and Fallon that is a legit criticism is that they are both too nice and not willing to take political potshots against the prez/candidates like Leno/letterman did.

Agreed. 

A 'natural' what? his seat is heating up, and it's only the first week! you evidently are not advertised on late night TV..he's being paid a lot of money to simply be funny, and he's not, how long do you think the sponsors are going to let his ratings plummet, every show has fallen to below par viewers

Colbert is feeling the heat already.  He wore a "black lives matter" wristband on air.
