Stephen Colbert - Monologue and Opening - 10/25/19

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Ages ago, I tuned into whoever had a guest on that I wanted to see

These days, after a day of Trump news, I look forward to the relief of the political late night comedians. Trevor Noah is amazingly good with American politics and very funny besides, then I watch Colbert's monologue - I look forward to his political guests and I post them as well as his monologues. And I agree about Seth Meyers' "A Closer Look." His monologues address the news of the day, but "A Closer Look" is an editorial. It used to be an occasional segment, but in these dark days of Trump, it's now on almost daily. Those have become "must-see-TV" for me and I started out posting Colbert's monologue in 2017 for those who don't stay up as late as I do or don't have TV. I figured we really needed the humor here!

BTW, Nancy Pelosi is scheduled to be on with Colbert on Thursday. You can tell he's happiest with the political guests. She was originally scheduled for last Thursday, but it turns out she had a funeral to attend - which I'm sure will come up in the discussion.

And I also look forward to and post John Oliver - not everyone gets HBO. And he's on late night as well, and I'm up, so I pay that one forward, as well. He once said that he'd rather not discuss Trump - and who can blame him? - but these days it's awfully hard to avoid.
