Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, the #1 show in late night, where he talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology and more. Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and ���THE LATE SHOW band,��� the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.
I really think Jelani Cobb deserved a longer interview. I honestly could have listened to him for the whole hour.
Exactly, they only gave him 6 minutes and then gave some more on like Andre 2000 over 20 minutes for whatever that garbage is he's selling
I was thinking the same thing
Agreed. That would be a fantastic long-form discussion. But, CBS doesn't want the mainstream audience to tune out, so we get the soundbite version. I know the Colbert Report used to sometimes do an extended interview posted online. I'd love if they did that for these more substantive, philosophical interviews.
me too
I thought the same thing! So disappointed.
This interview with Mr. Cobb was too short! Please have in on more often! What a breath of fresh air!
Thank you Stephen for having Dean Cobbs on he speaks the truth and the people need to hear it!!
Been reading this man's work for years in the New Yorker. Never thought he would be a late night talk show guest! Please, a longer interview next time.
I *love* it when Stephen has experts and academics on. They are so smart, *this* Dean is so smart, and they just have such helpful enlightening perspectives that educate me and make more informed. Dean Cobb *taught* me something tonight.
ALL JOURNALISTS:
Take note and absolutely interrogate accordingly.
Push for the confirmation of every candidate’s policy and knowledge.
What a great interview with a well versed man.
Debate participation should be legally required to run for office.
Yeah. Like taxes. Here we are on round 2 and another pound salt from the fraud expert candidate.
Thanks for shining a light on the disappearance of good journalism. I didn’t realize I miss it so much. Too much competition and , too much money interference hasn’t brought us what we need and want as consumers.
Knowledge is power to the truth! 👏👏👏🇺🇸🏴
The man is such an effective speaker.
I could have listened to him longer! He's an expert !
Thank you for this interview with such a great writer, thinker, and intelligent man. Yes ! reporters have not and should be asking "what are your specific policies and how will you impact the budget with these policies" ? Just showing a speech or rally does not provide the details we need to make informed decisions. What are the policies ? What have you done that proved you can make these things happen ?
This is the way I was taught at the University of Florida School of Journalism JM'80. The problem is that too many people "doing" journalism never graduated from an accredited university where you were taught not only how to write in proper style and how to pursue stories, but how to be absolutely ethical about it.
Yeah sadly too many people think the infotainment idiots at Fox News and other right-wing media outlets are actual journalists when most of them don't even have a college degree in journalism, or like Sean Insannity don't have a college degree at all!

It's not complicated.
I learned the basics like being objective, checking facts and being aware of ethical standards as a high school journalist. (But then we weren't part of a big business that needs to show a profit)
Brilliant! Thank you 😊
I would add: ban ownership of US news outlets by foreign interests.
🎉🎉 love this guest! Thanks!!
Great guest. Please have him on throughout the year to talk about the election!
It should be a requirement that you must debate and can't just skip accountability
I have Mr. Cobb on my proud PBS DVD collection: FRONTLINE Policing the Police.
The world needs more people like Mr. Cobb.
IC Jelani Cobb on MSNBC all the time, so i already know, that he stands for integrity & an honest search for truth & accurate reporting, always.
He makes a good point -- certain outlets don't cover Trump, they just get covered in him.
More important than ever... their job is about to get really hard dealing with misinformation.. I hope people still have the strength and sense of duty to actually do the job over then next few decades. It isn't gonna be a popular career choice soon.
Commenting to boost. Because this needs to be seen. Hard objective journalism needs to be the norm, and authoritarian countries running state sponsored foreign disinformation campaigns pushing to discredit journalists and experts (scientists, truth seekers, etc) MUST be stopped.
Comment on your comment for the algorithm. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
Lock trump in prison 3 years ago. No more criminal traitors in office .
As an ex news producer, this man is a very educated and intellectual person. 👍
I'd be proud to call him my J-School Dean!
Loved listening to this guy. I thought I'd hear the oft repeated words but his words were like a breath of fresh air!!
Hope he's called back soon again. One can't stop listening to same voices such as his!
Wow, I wish Dean Cobbs had been interviewed for a longer period of time! It felt like the discussion was just starting. Disappointing, such an impressive guest deserved more time
The worst part is that this has to be explained to us as if we ALL didn't already know it.
We know exactly what we are doing with our news, world and our presidents.
Can Stephen please get a show that's just interviews like this but for an hour? It's so sad that we get to listen to this intelligent, interesting person for just 6 minutes. Longer, PLEASE!
I’d like to have heard more conversation with him, about things that matter.
Nicely done Dr Cobb!
Journalism needs to be asking the right questions again - sincerely, and looking for an answer. And also, actually go in and ask. This has been one of the major problems in the political campaigns. Not only in Trump’s, but also DeSantis and others.
So important and good!
I remember Dr. Cobb in undergrad at Howard University. Still speaking truth to power. He was never changed. We are still proud of him. HBCU made and beyond!
One contributing factor in loss of trust of journalism is consumers do not know the difference between journalism and infotainment. For a start, we ought to restore a vigorous social studies education requirement for every year of public schooling. This used to be a given, but the GOP systematically eroded social studies requirements, so that we have "educated" adults who do not have a basic understanding of political systems or of geography.
Not sure that people actually care. I find most are just searching to find someone/thing that validates the way they already feel. Kinda of like talking to a super religious person about facts and logic. It's a "how dare you challenge my beliefs for which I have no good reason to have" thing.
@@lxlthr4058children have to be taught to care...
Excellent interview. If i recall correctly, the former president when campaining, was asked significant questions. He didn't respond the way most candidates did. He got a lot of airtime because of the things he said. Everyone had a field day. Then he became president.
USA Today is my go-to for hard-nosed, Menckenesque journalism!
Most people don’t get Journalism anymore. They get “Opinions”. Mostly because they look for information that validates their own views. That is what’s most disturbing about Trump supporters. When given facts and the truth they simply dismiss them.
Well that doesn’t make sense: why give such a small amount of airtime to someone who is honest and has so much integrity. I’d like to have asked him so many more questions, for example, why, despite 10’s of court cases, is Trump trusted by so many people? There is a crisis in America and you, voters have a responsibility to the rest of the world as well as your own country, to choose someone who is honest and doesn’t have to call people names, tell so many lies, and says he’s on the side of the working man when he lowered taxes for the rich? I hope Joe Biden fights for his life when he runs for president. He has a lot of material to refer to, which call out Trump. I hope the American people see sense.
I agree & understand that candidates NEED to be asked the tough questions about governance with good followup questions to pin them down on what we need to know. Often though, candidates have their talking points & what they're going to say & don't even answer the questions. Sure, it's because they don't have answers & won't be able to do what they're being asked, but it's also because, for too many people, they don't even have to answer the questions or be able to do the work & job of being in office. *His/Their followers will vote for them no matter what they say, don't say, do, & don't/won't do. That's a huge part of the problem we've got now. As long as there's no (or very little) accountability, they'll just keep doing it, too. As long as they can get away with it, they will. For another example, this Congress has done the least ever of any U.S. Congress. The journalists, & politicians, AND the voters all need to do their homework, take their responsibilities & duties seriously, & do their/our jobs & do them well! ...for a change! And I mean 'for a change,' as in doing things differently/effecting change & also to make *positive differences/improvements & changes!
*Another example is that TFG didn't even have to debate to win the Republican nomination. His diehard, hard core, dyed in the wool followers will vote for him no matter what. So he doesn't have to answer any questions for them. Hopefully there'll be enough others who really, truly want actual, factual ANSWERS & can tell what's really going to happen, depending on how they vote.
I do hope you have Dean Cobb on again & others who can help more understand the processes, etc. to get us through this year more successfully & safely! Thank you so much, Stephen & staff & crew!
America is drowning in information! That is NOT the problem.
The flip side of objective reporting is critical thinking by the public. Americans can't tell the difference between opinion and fact, between branding and truth. We can have scrupulous reporting and it does no good if people don't think.
Jelani Cobb is an ICON
HE IS THE SINGLE MOST BRILLIANT MIND IN OUR UNIVERSE DU JOUR
IM IN LOVE ❤😂🎉
It comes down to who owns it and what is being pushed.
Great interview.
I remember CNN cutting from actual news to an empty podium, where Trump was expected to show up and talk.
He’s already said what he’s going to do in his second term! If he doesn’t like a reporter’s question, he just bans them so it’s impossible to ask important questions.
The rigorous process isn't being followed. Reporters act like stenographers and blindly write whatever the politician or the celebrity says. Too many reporters are more intent on being the first with a "get" or getting a good book deal.
Thank you!
Too short! Have him back!
Now, I can go to Facebook, Twitter, or any other number of places and hear people only tell me what I want to hear, and what would be most convenient and profitable to me if it were conveniently true.
Why would anyone want 'truth'?
Here's to a return to more rigorous standards in journalism. Keep "infotainment" out of news broadcasts.
I think reporters should state what trump said he would do as president 2017-2021; then compare it to what he did.
ALGORITHM 👏💙 & LONGER !
Off topic, but I wish that Mr. Cobb was a contributing member of the Calm app
Would have liked to hear him speak to the unprecedented killing of journalists by Isreal in Gaza
I am not part of that 60%. I have never been polled, anyone else? I do seek out reliable journalistic sources!
I am contacted perhaps every 2 months to participate in a Civiqs survey
So eager to go on executivetime and golfing. Lazy a peak at his 2nd term. A whole lot of nothing.
you tell 'em uncle phil
Stephen is one of the most competent, witty, and intellectual interviewers in our midst. So it pains me to recognize that Colbert + Staff dropped the ball when giving Jelani Cobb less than 6 minutes and 30 seconds to voice essential ideals. A choice between prioritizing entertainment slots over propagating educational dialogue, it seems (sadly).
News: 🚫 Opinions!🤬☯️
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly ordered the military to stand down for 7 hours during Hamas’ unprecedented assault on October7.
Great interview.
One complaint, and that is that Trump (and MAGA) are not good faith actors in public debats.
We're at the point now where if you walk outside and say it's raining, somebody's going to say that you didn't give equal time to the opposition. The conversation isn't fact-based any more. Similarly you point to the dumpster fire that is consuming our country, and somebody's going to say you're just 'woke.' A lot of us are just so weary now, but it's time to pull ourselves together.
I have to disagree with a point he made about 45 and 2016. There were many cutaways from a candidates stump speech to an empty podium, waiting for 45 to appear.
Media has become a slave to click bait and short attention span. While I don’t know if news should go back to being a total loss for a network, but this chasing of ad dollars and showing an endless loop of a train wreck with no context is frustrating.
Maybe this is why Colbert said that people re getting their news from late night shows. Those shows are sharing the same news but while not in real time, it is with context.
"WE" will never win... becaue "we" reveil how to win
Not enough time with Dr. Cobb.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 hey stevey and .......❤❤❤❤
i wish i could vote for this guy for president
Go Bison goid stuff
Listening to him makes me sad, end of an era like a leader of the buggy whip industry...
wow for the first second seeing the thumbnail i thought James Avery is BACK!
but nope=/
Freedom of the press was for the governed Not the Govenors to uphold our constitution. Watch the post. 🤓
2 party system is the problem
How many FOX reporters are considered?...
He looks like James Avery, from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.😅
Uncle from Fresh Prince, right?!?
No disrespect but anyone else think he looks like James Avery?
That's all you took away from that interview? Lol
@@FuKuntt no it was a great interview i enjoyed the whole segment. 😁 so do you think he looks like Avery?
@@jtremblay100 he's much heavier.
@@FuKuntt you sure? Height and weight look very similar 🤷🏻♂️
This is Donald Trump's *FIFTH* campaign.
❤ so angry at politics 😂
The post or Good night and good luck. ?🤔🤔🤔
first things first: rest in peace Uncle Phil
You win 😂
I see a large joyous man with a beard and my only thoughts were Santa?
More non-celebrity guests pls.
Would that the rest of us lived in such an idealized world. In this real world, news is a product and people watch whatever channel is telling the story they _want_ to hear.
Is John Oliver going to win????
NOT Black Enough!!
🚫 since H&B; Cronkite!🤬
Journalism can get the trust back by stop lying.
I'm still waiting for Biden to be "interrogated" by the media. Yeah, ask him some rigorous questions, he is president, ya know.
Funny how they didn't mention he won't debate unless forced to.
@@klondike444Trump won't debate. And if Trump gets the nomination won't debate Biden. Biden not debate some crazy conspiracy theorist like RK Jr is not dodging.
Maybe they should interrogate Biden about how he stile yhe election yet left not a single factual provable piece of evidence. Shouldn't you be burning books somewhere with your buddy Vivek? Lol. Hahahaha
A beautiful embarrassment of riches!
Uncle Phil ?
Brought to you by Pfizer.
0:19 😳Uncle Phil?
When is Stephen going to tell us why he was on Epstein Island? Very disturbing. I'd like to get that trust back...just like you said.
You failed.
Hey I thought *Uncle Phil* already died??? 😳
