I'm saying watching John's show vids on youtube, youtube doesn't bleep out his swear words.

It seems like youtube could choose to leave 'em in on a show from a network if they wanted to ... but I suspect that before the vid even GOT to youtube from the Colbert show, it had already been censored.

It was interesting though because it was one of the most heavy-handed censors I've ever seen ... they straight up just cut to the audience for like 3 seconds, with no sound. They didn't just bleep the swears like they normally do on the late-night shows.

Oh, so that was a 'live' episode? That might explain mr_lebowski Jul 2019 #15

Yes. They went Live for the debate shows (last night and tonight). nt thesquanderer Jul 2019 #16
