I love how I was unsure of why Stephen couldn't use his left hand, to a slow realisation of the most beautiful physical comedy like a night at the Opera
Unfortunately, we still didn't find out the answer to the kid's question or even, "How many Late Show folks does it take to screw in a light bulb?" 🤔 🤷♀️
In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the... Anyone? Anyone?... the Great Depression, passed the... Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?... raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. -Ben Stein, _Ferris Bueller's Day Off_ (1986)
wait, what do you mean "OR" he owns both, that is how rich he is. the only talk about space x, but blue origin is bigger and more likely to win the next contract do to its size. It's only not happened cuase Trump hates the guy and the contract keeps coming up during Trumps terms lolz.
I was waiting for it to turn into a solar system metaphor. Which didn't happen. Or something about sucking out the air into a vacuum on "classic" light bulbs before LED's discovered the color blue.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤ ... Lots of love to Stephen and Evie from Greece 🐬 💖 One plus for your audience fans, from across the miles of the big blue sea ! 🙏🏻 💐 .. p.s. : .. I think we will be keeping the lightbulb solution over here 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ .. it would perhaps serve for a lot of issues !😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

4:00 In an LED lightbulb electrons transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state as they cross the semiconductor junction. In this process the electron emits a photon which is like a particle of light. It's as if you were walking on a sidewalk and you didn't notice that the next step was 6 inches lower and you yelled "F%$#!" as you almost fell on your face.
And I love all the rechargeable products with really bright LEDs! In headlamps, they have infected a MOST of the professional stage and film technicians' unions! They great thing about more products with low-power really bright LEDs and rechargeability in general means that whatever makes the elctrons jump (solar, wind, nuclear) that is sustainable base-load will run these and no crappy piles of batteries all the time that are annoying to recycle correctly!
Darn. I thought we'd get an answer to "What is Texas?" Also, you didn't answer the implied question, "How many Stephan Colbert staffers does it take to change a lightbulb?" >5 isn't precise enough. 🇺🇸💙
Taxes are a good thing if it's used for the society as a whole. Like in welfare states (you know those strange places where everyone get the Healthcare they need and can study at the university without a fee)
2:48 Fun fact: Death from quicksand is extremely uncommon because you never truly sink in quicksand because of our buoyancy. However if you're underwater AND in quicksand, then you're potentially screwed.
Oh my god. Who names their child, especially a daughter- "Lake"? Do you want them to be bullied in school? Cause that's what you're ordering with that name. JFC
About black holes.. Nobody, including kids, needs to worry about anything like that. Our Solar System is in a relatively safe area of the galaxy. It is about 4.6 *billion years old, and during all that time, it has survived really well, right?
Quick sand is more dense than the Dead Sea; so, you'll only sink between your ankles and your knees. Minor note; you keep doing you...or have Evie do you? I don't know, but someone better be doing someone about something somewhen somehow somewhere in some way for some reason, or that was completely wasted, or maybe I am. Crap, my stuff ran out. Does it count as Dry January if you start in the last week or so?
Shoulda just answered why taxes are necessary for a stable and well-managed society. Explain it the way you would to 8 years olds, then maybe republicans would understand.
How many late show members does it take to screw in a lightbulb? The answer is currenly being worked on. 🤣
We're looking into it.
I love how I was unsure of why Stephen couldn't use his left hand, to a slow realisation of the most beautiful physical comedy like a night at the Opera
one of my favorite answers of all time along with the spaghettification which was one of the only actual answers I have ever seen!
I really love it anytime they get the band involved
As an astronomer, spaghettification is my favorite term in all of astronomy
And, surprisingly, accurately described by Stephen. 😉
He's nothing if not a smarty 😅
Moon too
if time is a dimension , are we living in 4D ?
It is one of the better science terms😂😂😂😂
The lightbulb turning bit was great! I love a bit* of light*hearted physical comedy!
It was a gripping saga
Unfortunately, we still didn't find out the answer to the kid's question or even, "How many Late Show folks does it take to screw in a light bulb?" 🤔 🤷♀️
I love Sec. Yellen so much for doing a bit with you 😂
This segment brought a smile to my face. Love the cute kids, Love Stephen. The questions, & answers were the best!! ☺️💜
... we are solitary soldiers locked in an unwinnable war with our psyches, a war that inevitably ends in death": haha loved that answer!
I'm surprised they didn't ask about tariffs as well (we **really** need to make sure kids learn about those).
Yeah... If only our society made sure adults had learned about it before 2016... or 2024...
or... just learn to fact check instead of just reading ticktock

Nobody can ever be fully known…until they take The Colbert Questionnert, that is!
I was thinking the same thing!
Was coming here to say this exact same thing 😂
Same here! Yup. I can't believe he didn't say it also! 🤦♀️ Argh!
The making friends shows Stephen needs help😂 but the lightbulb moment team Colbert / Kato really😂😂
Loved the "strangers" bit.
Thank You, Stephen & LSSC Crew!
Felix and Dexter are ADORABLE!!
4:48 😆 When _The Late Show_ tells a _lightbulb_ joke.
The high five slayed me!
Even your family and friends can never be fully known to us…UNLESS…they take the Colbert Questionert!! 😹
No wonder ive never seen a bat on my air travels
HEARTFELT CONGRATULATIONS !!!
To you, to all your crew, and to the little ones that collaborated 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤.. Brilliant !!!
As every parent knows Taxes is how babies are made.
the cartoons were lovely lol
Answers the age old question: How many light bulbs does it take to screw up a late night talk show host?
A: Just the one💡 😅👍
That lightbulb joke was very good.
Never have I been so lost and confused when witnessing someone changing a lightbulb.
Next, Stephen will answer kids' questions about grammar 🤣🤣🤣
The hidden high five got me
Felix and Dexter. 😅
John was so interesting 😊
Stephen Colbert, Long Live Forever!
Tax wealth Not income.
I'm tired of people who own spaceships or amazon getting the low income child tax credit.
Imma repeat this until everyone vomits.
wait, what do you mean "OR" he owns both, that is how rich he is. the only talk about space x, but blue origin is bigger and more likely to win the next contract do to its size. It's only not happened cuase Trump hates the guy and the contract keeps coming up during Trumps terms lolz.
The only way to not be a stranger and be known is the Colbert Questionairt.
Just when I get over thinking there were faces on the pillows behind him, an arm comes out of the ottoman
😢😅😂😅 kids don't grow up, we are all screwed up ❤from London 😅
Ok, 2025's a bit fun now.... I guess.
I'm an idiot! It took the second person to assist Stephen for me to "get" it was the "how many...light bulb" joke! 🤣
I was waiting for it to turn into a solar system metaphor. Which didn't happen. Or something about sucking out the air into a vacuum on "classic" light bulbs before LED's discovered the color blue.
I'm the idiot, I only got it reading your comment 😅
Thx Couz - now We know - HOW MANY Entertainers does it take to Change-A-Light-Bulb?🌺🍀⚜️🇨🇦⚜️🍀🌺
I was thinking how we still don't know! They never got it screwed in, argh. 👏😄 They're so much fun!
Memories of Art Linkletter here!! Thanks for the memories.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤ ... Lots of love to Stephen and Evie from Greece 🐬 💖
One plus for your audience fans, from across the miles of the big blue sea ! 🙏🏻 💐
.. p.s. : .. I think we will be keeping the lightbulb solution over here 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ .. it would perhaps serve for a lot of issues !😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
I loved the final question's response & its accompanying music. ...God help us all.
Love your Charleston Sweetgrass Basket!
4:45 - impressive presentation
I love the Late Show Band! They’re such an awesome and bright spot in the world!

🥹✌️💗
The pillow on the blue couch is looking at you.
How many late show members does it take to screw in a lightbulb? The answer is infinity, because they always turn Left.
5:14 That kid had a really good question 🤔!
How did they do the light bulb bit without giggling? 😂
Janet Yellen is such a good sport.
Let's be honest kids are smarter than adults. 💜
That's why they eat glue.
@@napalmholocaust9093, They're smarer than magas.
@@napalmholocaust9093, They're smarter than Magas.
Lake is a genius.
Not really, but they’re nicer and more honest than adults.
Those pillows have eyes!
Would it possible to have a segment where our pets ask questions? Thanks for considering it!

Hey Stephen! What is absent thring used for in cocktails??
in the 90s I did taxes with Aunt Becky. That was some good taxes we did every night.
i think that is the best title ❣
lovely segment all around
I finally found out the name of the keyboard player is Corey!
I worried about the children actually believing some of these answers... lol
How many The Late Show workers does it need to screw in a lightbulb?
Only a Republican Would Find THAT funny.
at least 5
They'll get back to you once we have the answer.
more band members been part of sketches please!
I miss the hidden high five gag!!!!!! 5:14
And that's why you use lighting guilds :)
How many CBS employees does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Apparently they're hiring more employees to find out.
Darn. I thought we'd get an answer to "What is Texas?" Also, you didn't answer the implied question, "How many Stephan Colbert staffers does it take to change a lightbulb?" >5 isn't precise enough. 🇺🇸💙
"Death and taxes..."
"Nothing else matters" -- Metallica...
We need puppies!! 🐶
taxes are things that the one percent/very rich doesn’t pay
Taxes are a good thing if it's used for the society as a whole. Like in welfare states (you know those strange places where everyone get the Healthcare they need and can study at the university without a fee)
Good morning stephen colbert fans
We are all unknown strangers... until you take the Colbert Questionnaire... ;-P
5:27 unless they take the colbert questionaire, so they'll be fully known ^^
Dying is like sleep without dreams.
2:48 Fun fact: Death from quicksand is extremely uncommon because you never truly sink in quicksand because of our buoyancy. However if you're underwater AND in quicksand, then you're potentially screwed.
I read you just lie down and float.
@ precisely 👌
Everything comes free
😂😂😂😂😂
What room is Stephen in? Looks comfy.
❤
4:33 I'm sorry, WHAT IS HER NAME??
Negah Santos, my crush.
@likebot. Thank you, I wanted to make sure I heard that correctly
taxes r thepht🤪
LOL! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
{:o:O:}
if you want a stranger to be fully known to you, you need the Colbert Questionert
… but Stephen you never showed how many cast and crew it took to turn on a light bulb🤷🏻♀️
Indea would have screwed this bulb in no time, but you did not summon her.
The earth is the center 😔🥺
@ColbertLateShow re: Lake's question. Your answer was wrong. Everyone can be truly known if they take the Colbert Questionnaire. 😂
Strangers: Bill Cosby.
ha!
Sorry, did you guys just enact a "how many [blank] does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" joke without a punchline?
Oh my god. Who names their child, especially a daughter- "Lake"? Do you want them to be bullied in school? Cause that's what you're ordering with that name. JFC
Colbert in a black Hole was😂😢
About black holes.. Nobody, including kids, needs to worry about anything like that. Our Solar System is in a relatively safe area of the galaxy. It is about 4.6 *billion years old, and during all that time, it has survived really well, right?
Everyone knows taxes is a state in The U.S.
that pillow on the couch is staring at me. it's creepy
Taxes are the way politicians stay rich and roads stay bumpy.
Hate to play English instructor here but shouldn’t the title read “what are taxes”?
Quick sand is more dense than the Dead Sea; so, you'll only sink between your ankles and your knees. Minor note; you keep doing you...or have Evie do you? I don't know, but someone better be doing someone about something somewhen somehow somewhere in some way for some reason, or that was completely wasted, or maybe I am. Crap, my stuff ran out. Does it count as Dry January if you start in the last week or so?
Dark!
This version of Stephen reminds me of the Colbert report 😂😂😂 purposely ignorant
Read the title as "What is Texas?" Disappointed.
Shoulda just answered why taxes are necessary for a stable and well-managed society. Explain it the way you would to 8 years olds, then maybe republicans would understand.
how do tarries become taxes?
