I haven't watched Colbert since he was on Comedy Central. Was his late night show any good? I imagine the politics wasnt as prominent as his CC show.
Any good? Yes. Within the "Late Night" shows it was consistently one of the most watched. The show itself is also just excellent.
In terms of politics? Every episode opens with a monologue about the news and a certain political figure is constantly in the news, do it's very political, but also a reflection of what is going on.
Counterpoint: it became very formulaic in recent years and making jokes about MAGA is pretty low hanging fruit and became tedious.
I miss the days when Johnny Carson would just have interesting people on his show, not just another celebrity plugging some shitty new movie.
