2. One of his writers must have written that for him!

3. I'm thankful to you, Rhiannon, for posting these here

Day-after-day, (or is it night-after-night?), week-after-week, all year long!
Watching these clips here sure beats going to YouToob and sitting through their endless ads.

Thank you!

Fritz

4. Awww, thank you so much, my friend!

And I'm grateful for DU and for friends here like you! You know that's why I post these since I know that not everyone stays up as late as I do - and Colbert's monologue is always the last to be available, but he's so consistently clever and spot on that I'd hate for those who need their sleep to miss it!

5. I watch them every morning with my coffee!

Thanks Rhiannon!
