If Colbert didn't have politics to fall back on...


....then he really wouldn't be that funny. But seeing as how the election has been going on for quite some time now, the whole "politics every night" thing is starting to wear a little thin for me.

And this is different from the other late night talk shows how...? And on what do you base the idea that he wouldn't be funny without politics? The Daily show and The Colbert Report made him famous, and they happened to be shows mainly about politics, so it's not weird that social commentary has become his niche. Check out the sketch Waiters who are Nauseated by Food and you'll see he's funny without politics.

After Trump wins on November 8, Colbert will quickly find himself on the wrong side of history--again. I can't believe this imbecile still thinks Obamacare is the answer.

The answer? No one thought it was the answer, but it was the only thing we had.

I'm still waiting on the republican plan.

It should be amazing, 8 years in the making!

What late night host hasn't covered politics in their monologues?

I stopped watching a lot of shows because i am so tired of hearing about Trump i know the man is crazy but its just annoying. I used to watch Stephen show and was rooting for him to get good ratings but it became The Donald Trump show and it got annoying quickly and boring.

This is why i miss Leno he would make fun of everyone and still put on a good show.

I don't mind if he mentions him everyday ,but he should make one or two jokes and move on to the next thing.
It's overkill ,I am sick and tired of Trump.
