I love the openings, most of them are classics - some of the cleverest writing on TV!

3. I don't usually really laugh at Colbert's monologues

even though I find them funny. By the 3rd clip I couldn't hold it in and was seriously laughing out loud.

Thank you for posting these!

4. Thanks! And I felt the same way!

Some of his openings are priceless and I think this was one of them! Colbert just manages to top himself every night!

5. Thanks Rhiannon!

That was a particularly good one! Where is Seth this week? I'm wondering if all the comedians have been having nervous breakdowns. Comedy has seemed a little spotty lately.

Anyway, thanks again for posting!

6. Thank you!

And I agree that he's really pulling out all the stops now - he's even going to do a live show on election night!

And Seth is finally back this week after 2 long weeks of repeats! He had a lot to say last night, no big surprise!
