Stephen Colbert on the Dem Debate

[Fearless]

1. Colbert has been extremely substanceless on the Sanders vs. Clinton question.

Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that he sees things a bit differently now that he is definitely a lifelong member of the top 1%?

2. I think it more has to do with walking the line between old Colbert and new show Colbert

One of the reasons Conan was cancelled was because he came across as too liberal. (Not joking.) He alienated the older audience. Colbert is clearly trying to not do the same. What with Jeb being his first guest.. but also having the others along, as well as lambasting Trump daily.

He's trying to feel out the new position. I'm not sure that he's figured out who the new Colbert persona is yet.

3. He was gagged with promotion.

What he can get away with at a (relatively) small organization at Comedy Central, will not fly with the big boys in charge of The Late Show. Real people in real numbers see this, so he's been told he was to toe the line.

The whole purpose of giving him the Late Show was to bring him to heel.

4. Don't watch Colbert

And this bit doesn't make me want to start watching him either

5. Hysterical!

He is so funny.

6. Wish he was still on his old show. nt
