1. Thanks, I had missed the show.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I try to catch the monologue, but I especially wanted to see the John Oliver interview

These two go back a long way and John Oliver is terrific whenever he's on anything.

3. They're both great!

4. When his old Daily Show colleagues are on, it's must watch!

[longship]

5. Oh boy! And Colbert brings up the lawsuit!!!

Brilliant humor from two absolute masters of satire.

One cannot help but be in awe of the interplay in these two segements. They both know not only what they are going to say but what the other is going to say in response. This is organic comedy at its best.

Wonderful!!!

Just click through to both segments.

9. I love that phrase...

"Organic comedy"

It's perfect. I tend to forget that these two worked together, but seeing them together it all comes rushing back. These two and Sam Bee, and perhaps Steve Corell...I would love to just sit and watch them have an unscripted conversation for an hour or two. That alone would be twice as funny as any episode of "Friends".

7. Great interview by Colbert

8. I am so looking forward . . .

I am so looking forward to when John Oliver can talk about the coal lawsuit! That will be a blast! (Hope there's no nondisclosure agreement at the end. It would be very disappointing.)

10. If he does what he said he was going to do

and wins, there shouldn't be a gag order. (I know, "shouldn't" being the key word). Gag orders are usually put in place only when there's a settlement.

11. Double dose of delicious dishing!
