He’s a crowd pleaser!
Last night Stephen Colbert finally took over as host for The Late Show on CBS. We thought the show was a solid start to kick off Colbert’s hosting duties with plenty of great moments from eating Oreos and slamming Donald Trump to chatting it up with George Clooney!
Stephen’s return to television after leaving The Colbert Report last December had Twitter all abuzz with how much people had missed the comedian!

Most people seemed very pleased with Colbert’s debut and jokes — there were even some good vibes sent to him from a few celeb fans!

Stephen Colbert calls his audience “Kids”. He’s the dad we deserve, but also the one we friggen need. Awesome first episode

So, it turns out that giving the #LateShow to one of the greatest entertainers of our time was a smart idea. Who knew?

That Oreo skit was the best metaphor for the media’s relationship with @realDonaldTrump I’ve seen so far #LateShow @StephenAtHome

You can take the Colbert out of the Report but you can’t take the Report out of the Colbert. #LateShow
