This has less to do with the specifics of this episode than with the show in general, but I'm finding LSwSC harder and harder to watch. It's not the politics (I'm on Colbert's side); it's the laziness of the writing.
Brian Stack's creativity is limited at best, and turning the first 3-5 minutes of the show over to him every night gets things off to a deadly start. The monologue and desk pieces are toothless, and Colbert's interview skills have never been very good (which is shocking for a guy with his improv training). It's almost all strictly off of the blue cards. The audience (present company excepted) is full of braying animals who howl and give standing ovations at the slightest provocation. To be fair, it's better in the Ed than it was in Chicago. My god, those Dem convention shows were chaotically unwatchable. And, in nine years, I don't think he's had more than a handful of good bands or musicians. I guess cancer hasn't slowed down my peevishness. --Dave Sikula On Thursday, September 12, 2024 at 7:19:23 PM UTC-7 Doug Eastick wrote: Went with my wife.
