Stephen Colbert absolutely roasts Trump’s comments about climate change report

TwitterFacebook

Trump doesn’t believe a damning climate change study produced by his own government, something that truly perplexed The Late Show host Stephen Colbert.

Aside from telling reporters he’d read “some” of the report, which warns that climate change will not only impact global health, but will cost the U.S. economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually, Trump referred to it as “fine.”

“Fine?” Colbert said. “If I had to describe this report in one word it would not be ‘fine.’ It would be a different word that begins with F.”

“As in if you don’t believe in climate change at this point you are fined in the head.” Read more…

Jon Stewart interviewing Stephen Colbert is just as much fun as you’re hoping

TwitterFacebook

If there’s one thing Jon Stewart’s appearance on the The Late Show proves, it’s that you can’t beat a good reunion.

On Tuesday night, Stewart took Stephen Colbert’s place behind the desk and introduced his first guest — none other than Colbert himself — for a hard-hitting interview.

The interview above begins with a question from Stewart about which of Stephen Colbert’s children Colbert loves most, and ends with the two discussing, in detail, “the turd-mining business”.

It didn’t stop there, either. Here’s Colbert talking about how he learned to do his show without the mask of a character: Read more…

George RR Martin hints there may be some Westeros ‘erotica’ in his new book

TwitterFacebook

If you were wondering what exactly is contained within George RR Martin’s new 736-page epic Westeros history Fire and Blood, we now have a few more clues.

We already knew there were going to be dragons, and potentially some hints for Game of Thrones fans — but now we know one more thing Martin has managed to sneak in all those pages: a bit of erotica. 

Yep: during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the author confirmed as much.

“We do have, in Fire and Blood — you know it’s written by an Archmaester going back to primary sources — and there’s one particular incident where he has to, somewhat reluctantly, consult a book called ‘A Caution for Young Girls’ — which is basically erotica from Westeros,” explains Martin.

Stephen Colbert slams Donald Trump’s tweet blaming wildfires on ‘poor’ forest management

TwitterFacebook

The deadliest wildfire in California history has ravaged the town of Paradise, claiming the lives of at least 42 people. 

Stephen Colbert talked about the President’s response to these wildfires — and the contrast to that of most . “I’m gonna start out tonight by saying to the people of California, our thoughts are with you because the golden state is being ravaged by three deadly wildfires in Malibu and northern California,” said Colbert. “There’s been a tragic loss of life and an unprecedented loss of property.” 

“At a time like this, it’s hard to know the right thing to say. But for the wrong thing to say, let’s check the president’s Twitter feed,” he added. Read more…

On Monday night, the news broke that Stan Lee, a Marvel Comics legend, had passed away at the age of 95.

Later on that evening, Wolverine star Hugh Jackman appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and paid a tribute to the man who helped create X-Men.

Jackman goes on to remember an anecdote from Comic Con, where he was on the red carpet as Wolverine — and nobody was taking his photo, because Stan Lee was at the other end. Read more…
