Did you actually watch him on CC? He's actually funny when given free reins.
Stephen Colbert
It really makes me sad because I used to love him on Harvey Birdman and Strangers with Candy. And Colbert report was awesome. They probably got some real shit on him.
it's called selling out and it'll happen to you
Can't sell out when you got nothing to sell
He was popular for doing the conservative parody. He started the new show, played it straight, and it was rating poison. So he started the schtick up again but it devolved into orange man bad because he's swallowed too much semen by this point. It's a shame. I'd enjoy talking with the guy about nerdy shit but he's just not cut out for late night talk show host. They should give a show to Norm MacDonald.
Comedians are good at different things. Colbert is specifically really good at sarcasm, irony, and mockery. That just doesn't really work very well for the kind of show he's on now. Colbert Report worked because his comedy style perfectly matched with the shows premise. With his new show, they're trying to force him to do comedy that suits more laid back and cocky people like Leno and Conan O'Brien.
He's forced to work with pretty much the only tool he has access to on the show that plays to his strengths; making fun of Trump.
Trump broke him
>They probably got some real shit on him.
If by "real shit" you mean "truckloads of money". Don't kid yourself, Colbert is doing this job because he's making way more money than he ever did before. I'm sure he's self aware enough to realize this work isn't as good as his past stuff but he's comforted by his massive piles of cash.
well yeah that, plus this
