Stephen Colbert 'Late Show' Premiere Review: A Wild, Funny Night, The Late Accomplishment with Stephen Colbert premiered on Tuesday night with an extra-long archetype that acclimatized Colbert allowance for accepting himself: enthusiastic, funny, and warm; un-ironic and actually not his Colbert Report blowhard character.
The debut’s top point was Colbert’s annual with Jeb Bush: a substantive, frequently funny, occasionally hasty segment. I absolutely admired the way Bush and Colbert dissected the Republican candidate’s advance logo: “Jeb!” Here, Bush had the best lines: “It connotes excitement,” he said,
and depending on a voter’s point of view, he noted, it adapted either “happiness or bottomless anger.”
The accomplishment began with a taped area — Colbert singing the National Anthem with different citizens in different cities about America, culminating with Jon Stewart, dressed as an umpire, bellowing, “Play ball!” Colbert told a few jokes continuing up and told a few added sitting down, ashamed his desk, abounding of them about Donald Trump. There were some things acclimatized to admirers of The Colbert Report — his signature greeting, “Hello, nation!”; his Captain America cushion on a shelf ashamed him — and some things that were allegedly new to abounding viewers, such as the afterimage of Colbert bopping about the date to the music of his cast (Jon Batiste and Stay Human), his hair beat-up with afraid effort. Jimmy Fallon bogus a beautification accomplishment via video, as Colbert afflicted to arrest his accomplishment and acclimatized Fallon to arrest his guests for Tuesday night’s Tonight Show, a agilely adventurous move. (Fallon alternating at the end, for a quick, post-credits beheld joke.)
Colbert paid brief, affecting annual to the man he’s replacing, David Letterman — and his attic manager, Biff Henderson. But you’d never see Letterman do a bartering for hummus, as Colbert did, afflicted as a brawl bit. Before you babble about bartering sell-out, however, let me advise you that Colbert was abandoned abutting ashamed into added away talk-show history—that adjustment of activity was occasionally done by Steve Allen and Jack Paar, a allotment of others.
First acquaintance George Clooney appeared with a nice salt-and-pepper goatee. Colbert gave him a alliance allowance in a Tiffany box: a paperweight with an engraved message: “I don’t apperceive you.” The pre-taped arrest for a non-existent cine starring Clooney lasted a little too long.
The Jeb Bush annual was far added interesting. Colbert asked Bush how he’d associate the country and how his positions differed from his President-brother. The badinage acclimatized Bush to appear added extemporaneous than any entertainment-show accomplishment he’s bogus appropriately far in his campaign.
The accomplishment culminated in a accomplishment of “Everyday People” led by Batiste and Mavis Staples, with acquaintance stars including Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard, Buddy Guy, Ben Folds, Derek Trucks, and Colbert himself, singing jubilantly.
For a premiere, this Late Accomplishment was clumsily able yet loose-limbed. As Colbert joked, he did acquire nine months to chef this one up. But in the choices he’s made, of what to accrue from the Colbert Report and how abounding of himself to accede to his new adjustment audience, it seems adequate that this was the ancient of abounding absolute adequate nights.
The Late Accomplishment with Stephen Colbert affectedness weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on CBS.
