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.
“No ones gonna come to my rescue if all they hear is ‘heeeeelp…uggghhh’” that got me omg 😂
She’s doing great! I remember when Ali started on the Kill Tony show at The Comedy Store..
Rough start but I think she recovered well. I think she's funny and interesting character, I could watch more of her work. Great job Ali!
I did stand up with this girl about ten years ago in orange county. So proud that she made it out of all of us. Well done girl
you will too 🙂
She stole my (fantasy) breakout line.... man. I watch a LOT of murder!
She's got a great career ahead of her! She's funny.
Ah.. I get it.. Colbert watchers dont actually know what comedy is.. I finally get it.
I liked her! The room was a little tough but she won them over. Great job!
I think they should have mic'd the room or added the laugh track like they do for the host and guests. I remember when Ralphie May released a special without the laugh track and it's crazy how big of a difference it makes. We need the confirmation bias of everyone laughing together.
Mashed potato accent makes a lot of sense now, 10/10
She was great! I love seeing stand ups, and she’s better than most of the “amazing” ones I see live all the time
I thought she was funny. A food service 10 for sure.
😂😂😂
She's trying. It takes guts and courage to do standup. She's better than most. Keep it up girl it gets better ❤
Great, send her to open mic night. Being on national late night television people expect someone that's not "trying". They want someone that's put in the years and have jokes that make people laugh today.
She’s not close to “better than most “. Stephen must have been doing someone a favor.
@@BillAngelosshe literally headlines lol
@@MSJDCM I'd never pay to see a show she was in. So many better comics doing open mic night
@@nicwegener Whatever you want, but you could do a lot better. So many more people out there deserved that spot.
She’s hilarious 😆
"grateful I have arms" 😂 SO relatable
I laughed a lot more than the audience here did!
That mashed potato accent was really funny!
Yay Ali, so proud of you!
Wow low key hilarious! Altho as a comic i would have ended it with a call back like most late night sets saying "im grateful i didnt get killed today"
Love this set 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was great!
Fresh comedic talent is always appreciated❤
Yes but she just was not funny. Comics are supposed to make us laugh she did not.
Too bad there's NONE here
i like that he's giving these young upstarts a chance to shine
@@charlenemack7040 I was laughing!
@@Palidine4M0Osame.
I love chicks that talk like Dr. Evil.
you don't start the list when things are going well 😂😂😂😂 great set Ms Macofsky!
She gets me.
She’s going to be great. A late night audience is rough sometimes. I look fwd to watching her grow comedically.
The audience literally has cue cards telling them when to laugh. It doesn't get any friendlier.
@@Martial-Mat oh dang… last time I was there for a taping that wasn’t the case. Maybe things changed.
Just a guess... perhaps the audience was a little too sober.
@@Amy-kr4tc or maybe I'm mistaken - i've seen the "laugh now" cue cards so I assumed that was all the time
I think she gotta put this opportunity to debut on Late Show with Colbert on her gratitude list. I would thank the hell out of the show for giving this kind of chance.
Brutal!
I feel so represented rn not right now but rn. Thank you I mean ty, Ali
Good job Ali! Come on back!
Great Job Ali!! 😊
To those in the comments making fun of her or just making things up.
Shes not some noob. Yeah, not her best set. But shes been opening for Chappelle, Rogan, Cummings, Stanhope, Jesenik, and countless others for close to 10 years. Shes not some open mic comedian.
Again. Not a great set. It happens. Especially when your not a clean comic and having to rework material for television.
My only takeaway from this video is she's a murder obsessed whiny millennial. Not knowing her outside of this.
I understand she didn't get here without showing something more, so it's comforting that even her fans see this set doesn't leave a great impression of her ability. Hopefully her second television appearance has her more confident and knowledgeable about how to pull it off.
Awesome debut 🎉
Great set! Very funny
I was extremely impressed with her performance, good set 😊
Love Ali
She bombed.
Yeah that was probably the roughest late night standup I've ever seen.
No she didn't. It was alright for being on National Television, she will get cancelled if she did her normal comedy routine.
Plenty of laughs. Wtf?
Great set! Good luck!
I like her! She has potential. A lot of her jokes actually made me laugh!
caught me off guard with how funny she actually was
i think she was too nervous. also, its always pretty hard to do a 5 minute set and get the audience to groove with your style.
also this was a pretty funny set. i'll have to catch her show if she ever comes through KC.
Also tough for edgy comedians to get their set approved by CBS censors. Not that Ali is especially edgy, but this felt like she was holding back trying not to say anything that would get her in trouble.
I think you’re overanalyzing. I thought she did great. Audiences are hit or miss. Her jokes and delivery were on point.
I really do like her content and delivery. I agree she will become more polished.
Suggestion to the Colbert Show: take the time, energy and cost to test film newcomers to tv; she is used to preforming in clubs, she needs different sight lines for tv cameras.
Hope to see you live in the Chicago area. Good luck.
lfg!! we love ali !
Liked it!
Good jokes. She was obviously a little nervous. Quit being mean.
Your comment was funnier than most of her routine.
Now say it in the voice of Adolf... 😁
Some of the jokes are mean
@LindaC616 maybe look through the lense of irony. Not all comedy is for everyone.
The truth hurts but she STINKS
it's the kind of comedy that gets funnier as you remember it;
🤣🫶🏾 That one clap and the Yey one sad girl took me out. hahaha Sad girls unite!
She was fine. Wtf are you guys talking about?
Ducks, mostly.
And Mexico.
Extremest negative trolls of any kind are exhausting
lunch room level banter at best..
Man that was painful to watch!
That was great!!!
Can you even imagine, debut is here in The Colbert Show? Of the nerves 😮😊!!!
Loved it!!!
💙
4:32 God damn she's toxic af - Could you imagine if a male said that whole line *'get a gf, create a problem & make her pay for it'* dude would be cancelled, and this whole segment isn't funny
calm down incel
Steve Martin said if you blow your intro you're screwed. You had one chance. You blew it.
Her routine is getting murdered LMAO
Nice of Stephen to give her a break,.
Bro chill...😂😂😂
She's been in Kill Tony, Joe Rogan pod and opened for Joe.
I don't really go for the awkward style of standup and joke delivery and think it's sort of played out, but I remember her from way back in the days of the Kill Tony show and think it's cool that she worked her way through the comedy scene to get here. Not an easy task.
This makes me feel like I could do this.
Then get going🎉
"You" maybe, but she can't. 😆
I watch the ID Network all the time and yesterday on "See No Evil" a guy got killed for looking at another guy's lady!! "For every action, there is an overreaction" taken to the worst level!!
I have a mashed potato accent. haha same 😅
How did joe Rogan side piece got a opportunity in liberal show 😅😂
She’s good. I’ve seen some of her other stuff on RUclips, and she does better when she doesn’t have to tone things down for network television
Great job Ali! Love you on Stavvy’s podcast.
I feel like toward the end she started to loan up a little and get into the flow, and at that point she was really funny. You've definitely got potential, Ali! Keep it coming!! ❤
I felt bad for her.
Tell me more
We love ali macofsky
How do you know?
If you want to hear her better jokes, go watch Kill Tony.
So many people in these comments arent comedy fans lmao
Rough set….she’s better out of pocket. Plus Colbert’s audience isn’t stand-up friendly.
Wow well.. this is horrible
Not funny
Every joke seems based in some sort of facet of vapid and toxic consumerism: trucrime trash tv, self-obsession over appearance, fast food junk food and her fat parents, and then pop therapy/mental health. Add in the fact that there aren't any particularly witty or poignant observations, no ironic plays on listener expectations... would a knack for perfect comedic timing save this act in any way? I doubt it. Back to the drawing board I say.
Do or do not. There is no try.
When working at McDonald's with trump, what are you going to call him , well mayor mccheese is taking
What in the fuck does this even mean
Trustee McSoap

How about old president Mcdonald sitting on a bench, dealing all of Jared kushner kosher meal stench // Jared what poopoo eyes with that 💩 💩🪰no your afraid mike pence fly will attack- mike said he will hook you up away
Well could call him old president Mcdonald sitting on a bench dealing with all of Jared Kushner kosher meal stench , Jared want some poopoo eyes with that , no your afraid mike pence fly will attack, well mike said its on the house and will hook you up 💩💩🪰
I'm actually ungrateful that I only have 2 arms, I feel like 4 is the right amount because I always end up carrying multiple things so even though it all weighs nothing my hands and arms end up completely full. That's why I stopped going to the dollar store during covid when they got rid of all the shopping baskets like I can't Hold all this.
😂😂😂
I go to couples therapy because I have a split personality... ;-P
Do multiple personalities go to group sessions? ;-P
I don't find her funny. But she has guts to do standup.
@@charlenemack7040 I just watched her Comedy Central show and she did the same jokes and the audience loved them. Here there were crickets. I think it influenced your opinion.
@@charlenemack7040 She headlines nationally. She's one of the best comedians at the Comedy Store ahaha. Also most neighborhoods don't have comedy clubs. They're typically in the city.
You used to not be able to talk about murder or death for late night comedy sets. Maybe they changed the rules?! =-D
Not ready for not-prime-time
"I'm grateful that Stephen Colbert owed my agent a favor." 😁
Just teasing. She has potential.
Wait, did she say murder? She breezed by it so fast i couldn't keep up
😂😂😂
I am sharing this!
I really did not like that stand-up. Probably too much stress for her, but I really did not enjoy the running topics in her stand-up routine.
Good for her that shit leaves got the opportunity and had the experience. Maybe she’ll be able to work a bit on getting better.
I'm guessing the original phrase was "she at least"
Yikes
Ali has that right approach to sophisticated stand-up, not in your face and verging on swimming with J.D. Vance kind of comedy. I thought the tempo was great. Since there are so many stand-ups I think it is important to differentiate. So Ali has a bright future. A certain party had a go at stand-up in Denmark. Some tips for those starting out. Don't have friends telling you they are getting divorced and would you have a pint beforehand? Nor have another friend at the threshold tell you they have a flask of Dutch courage for you. It also helps that you don't put all your material on your phone in case of freezing. Don't by way of warm up tell your best material to the audience outside waiting for you to go up. No not a bright idea. Then all the alcohol hits home as you are on stage and potentially Danish tv. You forget your gags. You frantically try to find the material on the phone. But, to no avail.
A mashed potato accent!🤣😂😭
Routine was boring and the Voice was like a ice pike
Yep she definitely doesn’t want to be murdered……or do any murdering either.
That was fun! That's why women hating men commenting here. Well done Ali!🎉❤
Anyone can do standup...I guess.......
ali was great!!
solid set but audience wasn't givin much back
gee let me guess, her next routine will be about dating
Wow comments here are so awful - she was funny!
She was funny. Her pacing was a little slow, but I think her concepts were solid. Experience is what she needs and I'm betting she was nervous as hell.
Don't be awful to us! We have awful-commenting syndrome...
You're so hurtful.
Hilarious. Her stuffs even better when it's not on anti-funny CBS
Watching murder everyday. She lives in NYC?
Not bad, but truthfully she bombed, I feel bad for her
B O M B
I think she has some good bits
I'm shocked at the Late Show staff for not vetting her first, because there's nothing funny here.
Is it just me... Or does she sound exactly like Winona Ryder? ;)
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very funny! 👍👏👏👏
Damn, she must really hate her parents 😳
Venus de Milo is a fan
I'm sorry, but she was really BAD! It was painful to watch. Hire a joke writer then go to rather comedy venues and watch others who know how to deliver this type of comedy. 😢
