Ninja Turtle appears on Colbert Report

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

Anyone who watched the Colbert Report tonight saw his Stephen Rap's(or whatever it was called) segment where he spoke with teens about there problems.

Anyway, durring the segement after he answered questions, words appeared on the screen like Fo Shizzle and Radical. When one of them said Cowbunga Dude, one of the Turtles ona skateboard flew across the screen, one guy even pointed it out.

It was pretty funny.

Cowabunga Dude!

Honestly, the scripted audience moments are usually the weakest part of the show, but the audio clips and graphics were pretty funny... for shizzle:P

[DrSpengler]

On tonight's Colbert report, Stephen nearly cracked-up delivering the line "Well said, Mutant Ninja Turtle".

Pretty funny.

I saw that, the picture didnt really look like them.

[DrSpengler]

Yeah, it looked like a (very) poorly-drawn Raph on a skateboard.

Guess they didn't want to pay to use any licensed images for a 2 second moving icon.

A little late to the party, Colbert Report finished like 8 years ago. Fantastic show, ended at the right time as well. Wouldn't mind seeing a return episode once in a while.

Seems a little odd that it's still going until summer next year.
Colbert made a big to-do announcing it and implying it's entirely a corporate concession to the Trump administration to ensure the buyout clears.

But I haven't bothered with late-night talk TV in years, and I'm kinda surprised people still watch in large numbers, regardless of which of them have the best ratings. I'm sure Colbert will land on his feet with some other gig, but with him making a big fuss of it on the air, I say just pull the plug now and save everybody months of headaches.

Yeah, that's a pretty long farewell tour. And I'm sure he'll be all kinds of sunshine and rainbows during all of this time.

Presumably because it isn't ending due to low ratings, too high budget or not attracting advertisers like when most shows get cancelled. It's because the (alleged) pedophile that is currently the US president wants it gone because Colbert makes fun of him. CBS probably wants to milk the show for as long as possible before it has to go.

Meantime, South Park has achieved some of it's biggest ratings in the past twenty years with episodes picking apart and mocking ICE, Trump, and Vance, to the point the White House, after initial resistance, have begun embracing the mockery on socials to increase awareness and recruitment drives.

Colbert just isn't funny and late night chat is a stale model. Before long, ALL the big talk shows will be ending.

[Prowler]

I remember watching Stephen Colbert on the Daily Show With Jon Stewart back in 2003-2005 or so? That was the best time for the show, imo.
