      Audience Reviews for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert: Season 1

      • Aug 17, 2022
        Great job, Stephen. Great writing and intelligent satire. We love you, Stephen. Keep up the good work!
      • Jul 02, 2022
        I used to love the Colbert Report, and this is a big step down. It's becoming more about preaching than smart satire, and regardless of your politics, it's just not that funny.
      • Apr 07, 2022
        This is the worst talk show that has ever existed. I feel so bad for David Letterman that his legacy was turned over to this no talent hack. Why on earth this guy still has a show is mystery.
      • Mar 19, 2021
        I'm too distracted by the one person audience. And Steven is too.
      • Dec 03, 2020
        Worst late night show ever. Absolute crap.
      • Jan 23, 2020
        He is overly angry, constantly interrupts his guests, seems to think it's all about him and is no longer funny. The Colbert Report is surely missed.
      • Oct 30, 2019
        I used to enjoy his monologue but is has been getting boring as the season wears on. The last straw was on Oct. 29, 2019 when he thought it was funny to insult a decorated Lt. Colonel who testified before Congress in the Impeachment Inquiry. It was disgusting and disrespectful to an American hero. Despite your political persuasions, no one can impugn this man's integrity. Making fun of him was out of line. I never watch the rest of the show since it's boring. Johnny Carson was the only host who could interview a guest and make it entertaining. The only guests these days are those who are promoting a book or movie.
      • Sep 12, 2019
        It's so bad. It really is.
      • May 02, 2017
        I am so tired of this communist! Keep your political views to yourself.
      • Jan 10, 2017
        Despite huge promise, the show has become a tired, repetitive Trump bash, night after night. You don't need to like Trump to dislike this show. With the usual celebrity guests, there's really nothing original or inventive here. What limited, narrow minds created this bore? What have you done with Stephen Colbert? What a wasted opportunity!
