Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"
Ken burns is an incredible speaker
yeap
yeah he is.
+Michael Disney I really want to watch this doc now!
true
+Michael Disney and ha got some fantastic hair dying skills
Ken Burns can make one hell of a documentary. His documentary on Jazz and on the National Parks are nothing short of amazing.
+Kassyni Savior don't forget his baseball documentary, while watching it I felt like traveling through time
Ken Burns is a brilliant man. So glad he was interviewed!
Jackie Roosevelt Robinson is an example of a Great American and I'm grateful for the sacrifices he and his wife made. I watched Part I of Ken Burns documentary and different people, non-African Americans were lifted up because of J. Robinson's bravery. I'm not a sports fan but I enjoyed Burns' doc.
ken burns hands down makes the best historic docus ever....
Ken Burns is great. I loved the little segment with the Obamas near the end. It was beautiful.
I disagree.....
Ken Burns can say more in five minutes than some people will in their whole lives.
Preach!
Omar Ceballos I'm sorry hit his hair is atrocious. You can't ignore it.
That’s a world record
Ken Burns is such a well spoken guy, been watching him for years.... but his HAIR
As bad as it is, it's vastly superior and far less embarrassing than that candy floss poop on Trump's head. 🤔😅
Jesus, his memory and genuine passion are incredible. I'm ready for this documentary.
The persistence of racism in American society will no doubt be ably demonstrated by comments made on this clip.
We've gotten lucky, it's been quite tame in the comments, so far.
Ste H
Hopefully, I pre-shamed them ;)
fishhead06 shut up
ppl tripping on this dudes hair when instead they should hear how woke on racism and white supremacy this dude is.
Ken Burns is incredible. Love him.
Ken Burns is great. The husband/wife relationship is an important one, and Ken B. Points this out,
Salute to Ken Burns...spit that shit...
Well, that short clip in the documentary just adds to the respect and greatness of our First Family. Who here will miss Obama and wish he could run for president again?
lol that's funny
He aight
+Tyler Lewis I won't miss him, if not because I personally do not like him but because term limits prevent us from turning into a dictatorship or a nation that cannot change. (which is why we need term limits on congress)
Uhh.......no, not really.
+DragonSage 17 as an Obama fan I love your comment. Though Roosevelt was able to accomplish some great things with 4 terms. As a matter of fact I'll throw out my anecdotal logical fallacy of my grandpa who worked for the government (I'm talking Area 51/NORAD worked for the government) says he's the greatest President of his lifetime.
The answer is always 42.
+Nicole L somebody should get this up to 42 likes....
How many likes have my comments not received? Damn, 42 works as an answer, cool. 😀
We are one like from 42 -_- this is extremely disappointing
I LOVE Ken Burns documentaries. I can't wait to see this one.
I dont give a lick about sports, but I love Ken Burns and want to know more about the Robinsons so Ill have to check this out.
The fact that there's a "Ken Burns" setting in every video editing software I've used tells me there's a common theme in his work, haha
Glad he called out Drumpf.
Fantastic interview!
You know it Michelle! Haha
He makes GREAT documentaries! Loved the one on Jack Johnson (narrated by my boi Keith David), Baseball, and now the Jackie Robinson one ⚾️⚾️🥊🥊
Today, April 18, 2016 is the 70th Anniversary of Jackie Robinson's first game for the Montreal Royals (The Brooklyn Dodgers top farm team of the International league). They beat Jersey City at Roosevelt Field by the score of 14-1. Jackie went 4 for 5 with a Home Run and three singles. Almost a year later, April 15, 1947 he debuted with the Dodgers.
There are those who do NOT JUST TALK but walk the walk ... to be in the public eye is one thing but to acknowledge OUR truth is much respected!
I can listen to Ken all day...probably not watch him all day....but his documentaries are the best
Ken Burns is a national treasure! While waiting for his film on Jackie Robinson, folks might want to check out his film _The Address_, which for me opened up Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and how crucial it is that ALL AMERICANS understand that
"Government _OF_ the people, _BY_ the people and _FOR_ the people SHALL NOT PERISH from the earth."
I never knew how powerful of an orator Mr. Burns is. I am currently watching Burns's 1994 Baseball series, and coupled with this interview it has me so excited for the Jackie Robinson documentary coming out next week.
Ken Burn is the most important film make in the United States Of America.
I love his baseball documentaries 💯🙏💪👍🤙👌👉👏🙌⚾️
Wow crazy hair there dude
+faboze He looks like one of the Beatles lol
+ShadyShadok He looks like one of the Beatles got a bad toupee.
I'm 34 and wish I had that much left on my chrome dome.
Bringing back the bowl cut. Goes great with the skeletor face.
+Ethan Kutcher I'm 34 also and feel the exact same way.
As a Giants fan, I only respect and admire three Dodgers. Vin Scully, Sandy Koufax and Jackie Robinson. Jackie retired from baseball rather than play for the Giants when he was to be traded. Respect, loyal to his team.
Nope, Bumgarner rakes him.
Meh, rather have 'crappier' Bum than Kershaw. Kershaw has shown time and time again that he wilts in the playoffs. Madison Bumgarner just dominates in the playoffs.
LancerJak but not Kershaw
How do you move a team called the “trolley dodgers” to a city that doesn’t even have one.
Very interesting and serious topic and KEN BURN'S HAIR.
Nice clip, I'll be watching the next two days.
Damn, Jackie Robinson is a handsome fella :o
wonderfully put :)
He is absolutely brilliant
what a beautiful human being. love hearing this man speak, it inspires me.
Preach on Ken Burns
I love Ken Burns.
Gotta Love Ken
42 is the meaning of life...
+Kenneth Roberts (MECKENICAL ROBOT) To be absolutley accurate, it's actually the answer to life, the universe and everything.
respect
Obama is hilarious.
thank you ken burns
Jackie Robinson's story is so great and is an inspiration to us struggling with racism and sexism in today's world. #dadlivesmatter
Brilliant!!
Feel the Burns!
Jackie Robinson... played for Montréal before the US "white" leagues... Bravo, on est fier!
www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/jackie-robinsons-wife-remembers-a-welcoming-montreal/article11602715/
one of your best interviews , if you ever do a high light on your guests make sure this one gets in it.
Ken is awesome! Such an intelligent guy and prolific documentarian.
Why is everyone dogging this guy's hair. He got more hair than you and your wife will have combined at his age. He's big ballin living the life. 8/10
Ken Burns for president
I love how Colbert let's his guests talk
Ali is the most important sportsman of the American century. Jackie Robinson's story is hugely important true , but Ali had the bigger impact.
I'm sure Ali would be flattered, but he too would probably say Jackie.
I am a huge fan of Burns' work.
that reaction by Barack hahahahah priceless
Gotta love his documentaries, watched the Civil War in my history class
also NOT FIRST AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
Watching the President turn and grin like that at the FLOTUS...this is a relationship of equals. And he KNOWS he married up!
This is beautiful! I love his passion for equality!!
love me some Ken Burns, what a genius film maker
What an intelligent person.
That is how I have tried to live my life...how can I be a positive influence on others. Much love to a man that came before me...#42 Jackie Robinson.
I wish I could speak as well as Ken Burns does
I thought this was Michael J. Fox with a wig watching this on TV last night until the very end wtffff
I do want to say that Jefferson wanted to add things against slavery in the Declaration of Independence but what he said was removed by the others helping with its creation.
Love ken burns
bravo
his hair looks like chi chi chi chia! chia pet lol
I would like Ken Burns to walk through a black neighborhood all by himself, and if he survives, he can tell us all about black racism.
This movie screened at my school early, it was pretty good. I had no idea he was a big political figure after his baseball career.
that first thing he said... wooooow
4:16 Obama "I did too"
This IS beautiful!
I love his films, his hair, not so much.
It is quite odd
Triple Thumbs Up!!!
I want Steven Wilson in the show... Please :)
This guy is a genius with documentaries but is he wearing a wig? I can’t stop starring at it
Nobody is as obsessed with race as much as Burns is.
I'M gonna miss you obama :(
+bugxmusic Like this comment if you wish he could run for another term! (He himself said that he would easily win)
People in Syria, Libya, Yemen or Pakistan won't miss him.
Release the hounds!
Ken Burns' hair never left the 1980s
Umm... John Adams helped write the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. He did not own slaves at any time in his life. Thomas Jefferson did indeed own slaves. But, he manumitted them at his death, he by all accounts treated them well and paid them a stipend, and he was in favor of abolition. He lived in a time when slavery was common throughout the world and he knew that, especially in the southern states, free Africans were routinely re-enslaved and treated harshly by other whites. So to say he didn't see the conflict is to say that Ken Burns hasn't read enough history.
+Caelroigh Blunt - YES! And for those ignorant of history, Jefferson inherited his slaves upon the death of his wife's father. AND they could not simply 'go north' as slaves were legally held at that time in the Sates north of the Mason--Dixon line. If I remember correctly, Jefferson did free at least one (several?) slaves who could 'pass' as white, giving them clothing, transportation, letters of introduction, and a little money to start a new life. AND it is essentially impossible for people today to even begin to wrap their heads around just how 'revolutionary' it was to make a statement that 'all Men are created equal*' - in an era when many rulers had their positions by what was known as 'the divine right of kings'. And essentially everyone else was thought be in their position in life largely through Divine will. To make the declaration that all Men were created equal was almost unimaginable. (Now we seem to have forgotten that 'equal' does not mean 'the same'.)* At that time, all educated people knew that the word 'Man' when capitalized meant people of both genders, while the word 'man' when not capitalized referred to male humans. The Declaration may have been far more forward thinking than we imagine.
4:15 presidential derp ????
+Govanmauler Nope. It's called "being genuine." Synonyms include "keeping it real," "keeping it 100."
He's smart
Actually, Thomas Jefferson did see the hypocrisy in owning slaves.
People constantly misunderstand the whole situation-Thomas Jefferson was worried that if just up and took everyone's slaves away that it would break up the country, and he didn't want to do that, he wanted the country to be completely whole.
Look what happened when Lincoln put pressure on getting rid of slavery: it essentially divided the nation. just as Jefferson feared.
And although Jefferson owned slaves, he didn't treat them like utter garbage like most slave owners did-there were even a few instances when a slave would run off Monticello and yet wouldn't be sought for-Jefferson understood it all.
If there was any racist president it was Andrew Jackson-probably the most disgusting human being that's ever held the position of president.
+ZombieKilla Thanks for the history lesson, seriously ! I enjoyed it, no sarcasm !
+AMGV3 give a read regarding Benjamin Banneker & his letter(s) to Thomas Jefferson (on Wikipedia). It will enlighten you quite a bit more.
Have good day.
+ZombieKilla "A civics lesson from a slaver. Hey neighbor
Your debts are paid cuz you don’t pay for labor
“We plant seeds in the South. We create.”
Yeah, keep ranting
We know who’s really doing the planting"
how kind of Jefferson to treat his slaves so well! I heard that he even took one as a concubine, ay?
Sime
He did more than treat his slaves "well"
He and Thomas Paine and Benjamin Franklin all worked to establish that there be no more importation of slaves-and yes, he did have a mistress, but to say he went ahead and assume he raped her is moronic and just flat out wrong.
Jefferson even wrote about his mistress in some letters, he thought she was beautiful-says a lot, ay?
+ZombieKilla You should really read his "Notes on the State of Virginia" then. Jefferson made clear that he believed that blacks were inferior to whites. I'd also share this article: www.nytimes.com/2012/12/01/opinion/the-real-thomas-jefferson.html
--> Jefferson was always deeply committed to slavery, and even more deeply hostile to the welfare of blacks, slave or free. His proslavery views were shaped not only by money and status but also by his deeply racist views, which he tried to justify through pseudoscience. [...]
But while many of his contemporaries, including George Washington, freed their slaves during and after the revolution - inspired, perhaps, by the words of the Declaration - Jefferson did not. Over the subsequent 50 years, a period of extraordinary public service, Jefferson remained the master of Monticello, and a buyer and seller of human beings.
Rather than encouraging his countrymen to liberate their slaves, he opposed both private manumission and public emancipation. Even at his death, Jefferson failed to fulfill the promise of his rhetoric: his will emancipated only five slaves, all relatives of his mistress Sally Hemings, and condemned nearly 200 others to the auction block. Even Hemings remained a slave, though her children by Jefferson went free.
Nor was Jefferson a particularly kind master. He sometimes punished slaves by selling them away from their families and friends, a retaliation that was incomprehensibly cruel even at the time. A proponent of humane criminal codes for whites, he advocated harsh, almost barbaric, punishments for slaves and free blacks.
Baseball, Yes. Sports in general, Jesse Owens might have something about sport in general!
The only difference is Jesse competed with other African Americans on the USA track team. In fact if I'm not mistaken Jackie's brother Mack competed in the 1936 Olympics. Jackie on the other hand was alone on his team and in the league.
REALLY who disliked this video.
why the annoying music in the video clip?
Who was Mr. Ricky?
toupee
Funny how none of these comments are about the 'Actual Subject' he's talking about! Go Figure!
I love Ken Burn's documentaries. Is he the same Ken Burns name sake as the photographic technique in Photoshop? Without doubt, black sports people and musicians make white equivalents look like vanilla sludge. Stevie Wonder is my all time favourite musician. Love Sam Cook, Nat King Cole, all of Motown, Chuck Berry and now - I'm infatuated by Ella Fitzgerald. Never heard of her? Google and listen. She's got the voice of an angel.
+anton o'faolain - the one in imovie and final cut pro, etc? yes that's him. its basically panning and zooming on still images to give them a dynamic feel when put into a documentary. Otherwise it would feel like you're watching a two hour slide show with narration.
Gee, thanks for that. I'd heard the term so often but was to dumb or whatever to learn about it.
+anton o'faolain once you know what it is, you'll notice it in a lot of documentaries, especially ones about pre-movie periods, even ones not by Ken Burns.
Thanks. I've been discussing this with my son, who is also interested in the technique. We don't get a lot of American documentaries in Australia - mostly British. I love American history, having had to study it at senior high school (far more interesting than Australia's European/British History), and as I get older I like to brush up. I found Ken Burns' docos on the web. He's a terrific story teller. It's so refreshing to hear the narratives of native Americans and other minorities rather than the Hollywood propaganda of the last 100 years. I'd love to see an Australian Ken Burns highlight the plight of Australia's Indigenous people, especially the tragedy that unfolded in Tasmania (Van Diemens Land). Why someone hasn't documented that story in a Ken Burns' manner, I don't know.
"all men created equal, the man who wrote that owned over 100 people" how do you know that Ken Burns?
+Maximilliano Bannatazzarrinio Duh, cos he left them to his children in his will?
lol
Melania Trump dreams of Jackie Robinson but alas she's stuck with a pumpkin.
Rachel Robinson, hottie back in the day
he look like one of those old people kids from akira
Jackie Robinson was not the first person to break the color barrier in the majors. Not to discredit Robinson's achievements in the 1940s, but Moses Walker was the first to break the barrier and become a professional member. Even he wasn't the first black man to play a game in the majors. Sorry, but Ken Burns gets it wrong, again.
Wow Joachim löw has aged
I was really on board until he started using the bible like a book of reference. He belongs on The View.
There is a verse in the bible for every situation you will ever face in this life. Of course you can ignore it but you do so at your peril because the writers of this book faced the same things we are facing today and there are instructions on how to deal with it. The verse quoted lets us know that we are not alone in our situations and that we can look to history or others to find solutions to our problems today.
what kind of HAIR IS THIS
