Anybody watch Colbert's premier last night ?

[Mikey]

I thought it was meh.

The audience cheering Ste-ven - Ste-ven - Ste-ven won't happen much longer when they realize this isn't The Colbert Report

Just my opinion

[GlobalObserver]

I didn't like it either.

I was in high anticipation. But I too walked away with -meh.

[Duncan]

Agree. I wanted to like it, but meh. Then again, it took Fallon a while to find his way. You're right, though - I'd rather see The Colbert Report.

[Mikey]

Fallon is so dang nonthreatening and likeable he's kind of in his own category.

Colbert though, I was comparing him to my personal favorite Late Night host Craig Ferguson - and Colbert failed miserably.

Letterman (in later years) was uptight, condescending and an all around a jerk... And Colbert seemed to grovel at his feet.

I don't like to use the words "sold out", but things are what they are and everyone can see it for themselves

[GlobalObserver]

I've never been a big fan of one-sided political punditry disguising itself as comedy.

I watched a small bit of it. It felt a little sterile and the set a little too newsroom like to strike me as a late night replacement for Letterman. If only CBS were smart enough to grovel at the feet of a late night master and beg Craig and Geoff to come back...!

[GlobalObserver]

Second night viewership numbers down 44% from previous night. Ouch.

[Duncan]

Yeah...I won't bother watching until I start hearing good things.

I loved Ferguson too, thought he was hilarious. It was a good, funny show you could watch and relax.

[Marvelmania]

Really I find him uninteresting and unfunny. pretty much boring. I'd rather turn tv off.

[Sideshow Spock]

Tough freaking crowd

I watched most of the first week's shows and laughed a lot. Sure, all the bits weren't always hilarious, but Colbert is just brilliant and witty in how he handles everything, and is always a pleasure to listen to. Also love the way he engages his guests. I like Fallon too, but heard him described the other day as "aggressively vacuous", which I would agree with..

...and that's exactly why NBC loves him and gave him the tonight show

[Mr.Marion]

Last night shows are a waste of time imho. If something big happens on one I'll watch the clip on YouTube. Until then I'm out.
