Steve Martin and David Letterman talking about late fatherhood recently. Letterman said no one told him how much fun kids are. That captures my feelings as a non-father. Sounds like you were one of lateral-thinking little tykes in your day.
My dear friend, the late Fr. Dave Mura, from the Rochester (NY) Diocese, was a clown and had a ministry called, "Fools for Christ's Sake." The message being when we smile, God smiles too. I'm glad our Pope recognizes the importance of humor for the human spirit. Thank you Stephen for representing US!
After almost 2,000 years of mass murder, polytheism, and idolatry, the Pope can afford to smile. He's not bad, for a Catholic, but that's already a ridiculously low bar. Said with all due respect to decent Catholics.
why are they barely coming to laughter after all decades of so much secrecy, war, and injustice? What's next? He's riding space X? Okay Does proverbs also mention the devil disguised as an angel? Or does it mention church power, dominance over other beliefs and their greed is International. The Bible# book sold in the world. You would think that a lot less people would die of hunger with all this profit but instead, look at the golden Palace the pope lives in. The first class travel and all the royal treatments he must get. What a shame
Since most people will probably just read that and not bother to look it up for themselves, I want to clarify that what the verse actually says is "a joyful heart is good medicine" (in the NASB). Of course, there are a bunch of different translations, but you can look at 56 different translations on Bible Gateway, and not a blessed one of them uses the words "laughter" or "best".
I believe that comedians helped save the lives of millions of us during these Trump tribulations, because if not for you we would have all gone crazy. 🤯
When we visited Italy in 2012, and stopped by a Catholic middle school in Colle di Val d'Elsa, they were literally rehearsing Sister Act. We stayed to see the production in the nearby theater. Fantastic!
As an Italian, I can confirm that this film is still massively appreciated across the country, and I'm a young fan myself! Apart from the cultural background, I think the voice acting was another key factor of the movie's success in Italy, since it did a great job in recreating the wit and the charisma of the original performances.
I love when Colbert makes it a point to introduce/chat with the band & guest musicians. These are some of the best & most creative talents~Just look at where Jon Batiste ended up? 🎶🙂🏆🎼
It's moving that The Pope said when you comedians make us smile that it makes God laugh too! It made me tear up, knowing how much those words must have meant to all you, Amazing Comedians! Bless your hearts and souls for making us laugh and usually at really difficult and hard subjects to face! But some how you sprinkle a little magic on these impossible subjects and jazz them up to invoke laughter from your audience's. Lightening up HEAVY and often Heartbreaking topics to drag them out into the public square and poke fun at whatever topics are currently in the news or happening globally. You truly are brilliant at turning lemons into lemonade. Thank you all for making the World a better place! 🕊💞🪷🥸🤠👑🎉🙏🏼
I got over Covid in one day simply by watching replays of the old Colbert Report online. Guaranteed non-stop laughing. Virus didn't know what hit it -- completely blown away -right out of my body. Laughter is the Best healer and long live Papa Francisco!
People who say that Stephen should have spoken to the Pope in Spanish since he's from Argentina, may have forgotten that Pope Francis is fluent in Italian (which is the official language of the Vatican City) and German, and is conversant in Latin (the official language of the Holy See), French, Portuguese, and English.
Well, it really depends on what you mean by “fluent.” Obviously, he’s fluent in his native Spanish However, as an Italian I can assure you ,that while he can speak Italian, it is heavily accented, and at times difficult to understand. While he is able to read liturgical Latin, very few priests in the Vatican, including the pope, can actually speak Latin since it is a dead language. Secondly, having the ability to say a few words in some of the languages you mentioned does not make him”fluent,” even if with some effort he can read a short prepared speech in those languages. Although Francis did study English for a short period of time, he was never fluent and really dislikes the language. Several years ago when he spoke to the United States Congress, he practiced over three months for his short speech which he delivered in halting English.. Both when he travels and has meetings with foreign dignities who do not speak either Spanish or Italian, the pope always has an interpreter with him. In the last meeting Pope Francis had with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in the Vatican which was shown on Vatican TV, Francis had an interpreter to translate from Italian to English. The suggestion that Pope Francis is “fluent “in English or any of the other languages which were mentioned, is prosperous . Unfortunately, unlike past popes, Francis is not a polyglot.
@@doit2810 I just finished watching a Spanish film made in Argentina. While there are certain words or phrases which may have been adopted into Argentinian Spanish from Italian, (They use Ciao to say good bye) it is still almost exclusively standard Spanish pronunciation and inflection as is generally found in Central and South America.
I was thrilled for you to be invited to see Pope Francis. I love also that Whoopie has visited him before. It makes me feel like a part of me got to share in the honor.
@@Lucia-VestrisHaving the munchies while watching a cooking show would be rough. More of a drinking game. Try to match Child shot for shot. If you make it ten minutes, it counts as a win.
Stephen Colbert had an audience with the Pope and Jimmy Kimmel hosted Obama and Joe. God is good. God is great. Thank, God, for Stephen and Jimmy. Amen.
We need humor to uplift our spirits. Thank you, Stephen and all who met with Pope Francis. Most importantly, for me, I was so glad to discover Randy Rainbow on UTube. His parodies , spot-on humor, music, and performances were & still ARE Wonderful Breaths of Fresh Air & Laughter. Randy's autobigraphy book is hilarious , too. Randy Rainbow continues to be my God-send while navigating thru Orange Don, his aiders, abettors, and flatterers. Don's worse than chewing gum on the sidewalk.
Love this!!! Yooo Trombone Shorty!! I love that this show puts the band and its members on full display and introduces their musical guests (who are always epic musicians btw). The Pope is awesome to have invited yall and gave such a lovely speech ❤ Best. Show. Ever. Love me some Stephen Colbert 🥰 (and I laugh, gut busting on many occasions, if that makes you feel better!)
@@michaelrobson3460 Nope, the comma is correct, unlike the one you placed between 'been and 'sufficient'. Incidentally, sentences start with capital letters, questions end with full stops and indicative sentences end with capital letters. You're welcome.
@@michaelrobson3460 PS; regarding your opening post, 'God' starts with a capital 'G' (even though he doesn't exist); and you need to pick either a single inverted comma or a double one and stick with your choice, instead of opening a quote with a single and closing it with a double. (And to reiterate, sentences end with full stops.) You're welcome.
Joy is outdoors. Its not always on a screen or book. We need to appreciate what God is showing us, his beautiful creation. Go out people, free your bodies from your room or desks. Enjoy the morning and evening sun. Go to a rose garden. To hike. Bird watch. Ride your bikes to the beautiful mountains and breathe. God wants you to go out and find him in everything he created. Within yourselves as well because he created you. Feel God's joy by enjoying everything outside around you because before you know it, you're confined to a bed without appreciating God's grace.Luke 17:21The Kindom Of Heaven Within...

0.1% of what? Doesn’t matter because I won’t be coming back. But you could say what, otherwise people don’t know what you’re saying either. 0.1% of the rich? Or the smart? Or the most special because of a particular topic or subject. Is it a sport, a musical instrument? 0.1% could be anything, everything or nothing.
So what you are saying is no ordinary scum could ever hope to get close to this man. Cool. I’m also not interested in him getting close to me. Considering what the Catholics have done to children, all over the planet, for decades.

@@beatrixkiddo7083its a comedy bit Stephen used to do where he starts by saying he's so busy he can't get to confession often enough so he asks the audience to hear his confession. Then he pretends to be sitting in a confessional and admits to a weird list of stuff that isn't exactly sinful (but he does feel bad about them!).

I live and work in Chicago, I’m looking forward for the excuse to work from home the week of the DNC. I’m in the queue for tickets though so 🤞🏻. Pretty much the only reason I’ll venture downtown that week.
I am SO happy you brought back God!!! I just adored the 'God bits' over the years. I seem to remember him with a little more visual clarity, however. Perhaps I'm mistaken. Anyway, the next time you bring back the "Giant Hat" or whatever it was called, I'll tune in for that, too! Bravo!
Glad I’m not the only person who actually liked Big Furry Hat. The Late Show was def going through growing pains in those early years, but it had its charms too.
It's a huge relief to know that when I am the cause of people smiling, that God is smiling, too. Because I'm quite certain I get people to laugh at me daily, and I am not even a comedian. I think it's more of a challenge to get a comedian to crack a smile. You know we all love you, Stephen Colbert. :)
Pope Pancho (diminutive for Francisco in Spanish) is da bomb...he's got more crazy Cardinals and Bishops to keep straight than anyone should ever have to. May he live long and strong.
Hahahaha I adore that Stephen has so much fun with his visit it really was an honor and the Pope is right about the smiling thing ! But what’s up with taking sisters both you and Fallon ?? Sweet tho 💜🩷
Evie couldn't get the time off work & Jimmy's wife had to stay. With their son who has special medical needs. Both their Mom's are too old to travel that far. So is Jimmy's Dad & Stephen's Dad is dead, so they took their next available relatives with them, their sisters.
As a Catholic Christian Stephen should know that Making a Joke of the "Holy Spirit' is a Mortal Unforgiveable Sin* Jesus Name has been Used as one for Millions of times! And well, he said so himself " All can be forgiven but?.... (The rest? if you read his gospels. U know)
Steven, I'm glad you fulfilled one thing off your bucket list! All my Italian in-laws are Cadillacs (Catholic) did you ask him to pray for america? Oh, he already is!
Lapsed Catholic here - I think it's important to look beyond history, at the church today and what it's doing today to atone for its past and serve better in the future. I think they've done incredible things lately, though they've still got plenty of work to do. Like Il Papa likes to say, "Who am I to judge?" If you knew my history you might judge me harshly, but then you'd never know me, only who I was in the past.
Conservative "jokes" are cruel, making fun of the lost and least and the poor and the marginalized whom Jesus loves. Conservative humor does not make God smile.
4:29 How much, Stephen? How MUCH sour cream?! It's not at all arbitrary. These things require precision, Mr. Colbert. One mustn't ruin the cake in pursuit of perfection simply due to missing data. You're better than this, sir.
When he mentioned it, I immediately took note to google a recipe using sour cream to find out the amount to add! Also I have a friend who will add a box of pudding (dry of course) to regular cake mix when she didn’t feel like making a cake completely from scratch. It made it more moist, flavorful and folks thought it was scratch. Also doesn’t hurt to have a reputation as a baker in advance. 😜
When I was a little girl, I used to tell God jokes when I prayed. I thought he needed it, because I heard how hard other people asked for him work.
That's awesome.
That’s fantastic!
Aw, that was sweet! I bet He loved it. Do you still do that? (Staying childlike is a Godly thing to do...)

It's a huge relief to know that when I am the cause of people smiling, that God is smiling, too. Because I'm quite certain I get people to laugh at me daily, and I am not even a comedian. I think it's more of a challenge to get a comedian to crack a smile. You know we all love you, Stephen Colbert. :)
I know God has a sense of humor. He made me. 😊😂
Thank you both ❤
Why does God sound just like the Sea Captain in Seth Meyer's attic?
✊🏾💯🙏🏾🔥🥛🐝(T)Hanks for your comedic contribution to the rolling circus that is all of….this.Stay.Blessed
God ..Must have humor..He created ..US..
It's a disgusting sense of humour, to be sure.
I'm so happy for you!
Everything is always on point. Can't get enough!
The band is so good!
Conan met the pope? can't wait to hear about it on his podcast.
That sour cream secret rocked my world way harder than hearing Jesus had a kid
I wandered when God was coming back to the show. I miss those moments with him up there. They always made ME smile and laugh.
Well,God has been busy the last little while. Lol
@@justmenb3379 I say he does as much as our Republicans in the House! 😉
Trombone Shorty's awesome!
„It didn’t have to look like that…!?!“
Stop it, you’re killing me… 😂😂😂
More of the band, please. Thanks J for the sour cream tip, will try that.
It's a great tip. Makes cakes very moist
Great to see Shawty join the band.
Pope Pancho (diminutive for Francisco in Spanish) is da bomb...he's got more crazy Cardinals and Bishops to keep straight than anyone should ever have to. May he live long and strong.
Hahahaha I adore that Stephen has so much fun with his visit it really was an honor and the Pope is right about the smiling thing ! But what’s up with taking sisters both you and Fallon ?? Sweet tho 💜🩷
Evie couldn't get the time off work & Jimmy's wife had to stay. With their son who has special medical needs. Both their Mom's are too old to travel that far. So is Jimmy's Dad & Stephen's Dad is dead, so they took their next available relatives with them, their sisters.
Stephen's mom is dead.@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980
Evvie is Presbyterian, so meeting the Pope would mean more to Stephen's sister
so great to see so much talent playing with your wondrous band ... thank you
Whoopi was right. Even my dad, who is not into anything other than Westerns, loves to watch Vuupi !
More close camera action shots of the baaaaaand!!! 🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥💖💖💖
As a Catholic Christian Stephen should know that Making a Joke of the "Holy Spirit' is a Mortal Unforgiveable Sin* Jesus Name has been Used as one for Millions of times! And well, he said so himself " All can be forgiven but?.... (The rest? if you read his gospels. U know)
... well, maybe an exception can be made here. I'll ask my uncle Peter.
No.
@@mauijttewaal ... (don't be sure, you're not God).
Steven, I'm glad you fulfilled one thing off your bucket list! All my Italian in-laws are Cadillacs (Catholic) did you ask him to pray for america? Oh, he already is!
Comedy is the best antidote against Trump, MAGA, MTG and MAGA Mike! John Paul II used to talk about the "laugh" (love) of God!
Born and raised Catholic. Struggling to balance the Churches History with my morality.
There’s an excellent book you should read called Bullies and Saints by John Dickson that you might find really helpful.
Lapsed Catholic here - I think it's important to look beyond history, at the church today and what it's doing today to atone for its past and serve better in the future. I think they've done incredible things lately, though they've still got plenty of work to do. Like Il Papa likes to say, "Who am I to judge?" If you knew my history you might judge me harshly, but then you'd never know me, only who I was in the past.
The Church’s history contains saints and sinners and everything in between
Oh, Stephen. 😮 I'll say a prayer for you.
❤❤❤❤❤ perfetto. Tu sai parlare la lingua italiana ❤❤❤❤ heyyyyyyyy caro stefano
Trombone Shorty!!! OMG I would love to be in that audience!!! ❤❤❤
Sister Act did more for church attendance than anyone I can remember. Didn't last, but still.
The deepest things are sometimes also the most beautiful.
That there are no Republican comedians (at least not on purpose) tells me all I need to know and always has.
Conservative "jokes" are cruel, making fun of the lost and least and the poor and the marginalized whom Jesus loves. Conservative humor does not make God smile.
GOP humor sucks. Only T. is funny!😅
I hear them say that God has a really good sense of humour.I liked this video :D
4:29 How much, Stephen? How MUCH sour cream?! It's not at all arbitrary. These things require precision, Mr. Colbert. One mustn't ruin the cake in pursuit of perfection simply due to missing data. You're better than this, sir.
When he mentioned it, I immediately took note to google a recipe using sour cream to find out the amount to add!
Also I have a friend who will add a box of pudding (dry of course) to regular cake mix when she didn’t feel like making a cake completely from scratch. It made it more moist, flavorful and folks thought it was scratch. Also doesn’t hurt to have a reputation as a baker in advance. 😜
Found a recipe for sour cream pound cake. Super easy! 1/2 cup sc
But Google if interested 😊
No more than a cup.
@@debbiedoodiedandi this is The Way.
God made laughter he'd want people to have it, you bring it to them. You're part of the plan, of course, god is pleased with you.
That was SO 😂😂🤣🤣 clearly thinking “ we couldn’t get Tom Hanks”?
😂 God bless you, sir! Hahaha
Love Trombone Shorty
im sochappy you got to meet him
I need to re-watch "Sister Act." Excellent movie
Beautiful
Er... nope.
