@Evan42881 Thanks for making me search Vermin Supreme, Now that Stephen Colbert is not running, I fully support Supreme and his pony based economy. That's what the founding fathers intended.

[Evan42881]

@InKa4484 Hahah I know I love him. I met him in New Hampshire and took a picture of him. He's hilarious.

[OnkelStein]

[redakdal]

steven has a double personality, it must be hard for him to talk or chat with people without them knowing which steven there talking to

[jjtheslayer69]

he will be president one day, he is america, and so can you

[bloody31234]

@jjtheslayer69

I don't think that he would like being told what to do.

[naughtyboymessiah]

lol @ 'god?!' charming satirist. love colbert. lol.

[kamodaff]

Larry: "You've got a point."

Stephen: "Thank you, I rarely hear that."

Hahaha, I'd vote for him!

[jnw518]

Im not a bridesmaid,Im the bride.

[MyloGraphics]

If stephen colbert was president he would just confuse the country out of debt.

[jismjacket]

@MyloGraphics

[abemagic10]

[TheGr8Chris6]

Smart guy makes alot of sense.

[TheJeoshua]

I love Colbert. Do I think he would have a real chance of winning in the election in 2012? Certainly I do. This makes me sad for America.

[jujufactory]

I wish both of them could shut up. :)

[DrinkSkateSleep]

Colbert is a satirical genius.

[wolfgirl3440]

Stephen Colbert 2012! I guess I'm and idiot and many others on here are huh b18utterfli?

[ShitTalkinDandylions]

quite possibly my 2 favorite people in the world

[b18utterfli]

like Colbert's comedy is one thing. But if you'd actually vote for him for President of the United States, you are a freaking idiot

[ThePokeyPictures]

@b18utterfli many comedians go into politics, they start with comedy because everyone likes it

[DrinkSkateSleep]

@b18utterfli He'd do a much better job than Obama.

[bluegreen1138]

[akazukinfan]

Great interview, out of character Stephen is just adorable. :)

[dollyisblue]

larry wears purple all the time.

[peaceandmetal88]

The Origin of Species is the genesis of evolutionary theory. You see, I know it may be difficult to understand for some, but science has progressed to the point of being able to build on Mr. Darwin's theory using very complex scientific processes. What is understood today about adaptation and evolution has grown into a much more believable school of biology. There are certainly gaps in the fossil record, but its much more believable than the old "a magical wizard in the sky did it" theory.

[popscoop12]

Its sad 2 think we are hear because some gases touched

[janroucax]

Does Colbert even need writers for his show ?

He's really quick.

[HostelEffect]

@janroucax Colbert improvises his show, they just have topics they are going to cover written down. It's quite astounding, he makes amazing jokes and puns on his show right on the spot. It's something to appreciate greatly.

[PokemonDaAbridged]

@HostelEffect No he doesn't he uses teleprompters just like every other host, he mentions it when making fun of O' Reilly on O'Reilly's own show

[somacoyote]

@janroucax remember the writer's strike?

[youngdebraa]

there is no proof that one species evoles into another, there is proof of Adaptaion which is what Darwin's Theory is based on. Read his book, he doesn't even use the word evolve or evolition... this is something scientist came up with to push "their" ideas losely based on Darwin's theory of "adaptation". Sadly, we tend to believe what we hear and are taught by adults as children. I challenge you to read Darwins books and notes...

[CallMeMrNameless]

@youngdebraa

Translation: "There is no proof of Evolution, there is proof of Evolution,"

But you're right:

Everyone should read "The origin of species"!

[mwn213]

ugh too bad--I saw this entire live interview and I remember it vividly. This video doesn't include a part near the end when Stephen became pretty vulnerable and serious after King had asked him if Colbert thought he was a good American or something to that effect. Colbert actually took it seriously and said that he was an honest American or something like that, and it was kinda touching. Great guy

[Noize666]

awesome interview

[jerryhello100]

Running for God. ahahahaha

[jammyjo610]

very smart ass

[KennyPengB]

everyone wants to know who "colbert" really is. Who cares, his character is all anyone really needs. Awesome

[7413321]

God, Larry King's voice is so scary!

[KurtVachon]

vote down irrelevant comments! Even this one. I did

[yulikesrice]

OMG people who type more than 20 words fail SHUT UP!

[AntiChrist06660]

Well most people have a full thought manifesting in their brain, unlike you. Other people leave revealing/personal viewpoints on the situation. You however, are revealing that you don't like people who type more than 20 words or reveal history/truth. So YOU shut up and don't bother leaving comments that degrade you.

[yulikesrice]

'shut up Meg'

[icandodgebullets86]

people who write 'OMG' fail!

[yulikesrice]

shut up meg

[jakigi]

I would vote for Stephen Colbert

[kpg4712]

@jakigi Heck yes!

[SidNightWalker]

Any church who tries to proclaim they know EXACTLY what God wants is, full of crap..It's a fallacy.Just sayin.Protestant, Catholic, et all.

[AntiChrist06660]

I agree with you totally. And they all claim to know EXACTLY what god knows/wants/or did. Life is here because of organic sludge and millions of years of evolution. Not because "god" got bored and decided to give humans brains big enough to think up some stupid shit like "god". Did god start with humans? That is an obvious sign it is a human based belief. Animals don't believe in god. The big band didn't start god....

[SidNightWalker]

Well i didn't say all that and...if you wanna be really specific, scientific theories with no hard evidence to back them up, like the big bang, that scientists basically proclaim as being facts, are just as bad.

[Darkhearted777]

MrSprink Evolution isn't the answer to "why" it's the answer to "how"

[LBTennis]

@Darkhearted777 We cant answer the "why" even though some people pretend like they can.

[Axl207]

@LBTennis evoluton not creationism is the answer

[LBTennis]

@Axl207 Agreed, but evolution has to do with how life has changed over time, not the answer to the universe. And no one knows that answer even tho creationists like to think they do.

[rondus18]

The human race isn't going to finish discovering if people like you deny what we have already discovered. More scientists accept evolution than historians accept the Holocaust happened. Evolution is here to stay.

And so what if Darwin refuted his book. Most of the evidence for evolution was discovered after he died. He didn't know anything about the fossil record or DNA. High school biology students know more about evolution than he did.

[ma98h]

@MrSprink except dawkins is only one of the leading evolutionary biologists in the world and only  rednecks like u choose to believe fiction over fact.

[wolfgirl3440]

@SidNightWalker Oh but I bet your church thinks it knows what God wants. And Catholics don't think they know exactly what God wants either. I happen to be Catholic. I know that we try to act as God would want us to, be kind and help others and all. But we don't go around proclaiming that we know what God wants. That's bull.

[SidNightWalker]

@wolfgirl3440

My church is Spiritual Agnostic.Bet ya didn't see that one comin, didya?

[wolfgirl3440]

@SidNightWalker I'm going to be honest, I really don't know what religion that is. What do you believe?

[SidNightWalker]

@wolfgirl3440

The one Darwin did.Look it up a bit.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@SidNightWalker

all church is wrong. that's not an opinion either, that's a biblical fact. the way the church is set up is completely against what Jesus wanted it to be. it wasn't supposed to be a hierarchy of priests and pastors. it was supposed to be a collaboration of people coming together and worshiping God. this is how it originally was, but it was twisted later on. the way the christian church is set up is the same way the paegan church was.

[SidNightWalker]

@Fluffypopcicle

Well yeah, exactly, Jesus would be spinning in his grave if he saw all these damned televangelists and what they do, man.Bottom line is dogma is not required and would never be required by God, as he wouldn't be that pathetically self serving.Jesus certainly wasn't.

[martin2132004]

@SidNightWalker trust me that nigga Jesus was self serving for someone to believe his own dad (Jehovah) created everything and his mother was a Virgin??? Sounds a little Narcissistic and a WACKO

[SidNightWalker]

@martin2132004

Well I don't believe Jesus ever said anything like that, since that seems to be pretty massive embellishing of a church-like nature.

[TheLivirus]

@SidNightWalker Yeah. All churches are full of oppinions. Read the bible yourself and decide what you belive. You don't need no priest, pastor, bishop or pope etc. to tell you what god wants.

[SidNightWalker]

@TheLivirus

Basically yes.

[vdubmerc3]

It's cool to see Colbert's talk about his "campaign" before he started it.

[stinkymonkeyman]

Bill O'Reilly should listen to the first 12 seconds of this

[cherasela]

I Just cant get enough of Colbert !! LOL I love him !!! just cant get enough of him He's smart funny and Sexy !!!what else do u need LOL

[Ullygirldk]

Him Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and Jon Stewart are my favorite comideans:)

[withthebirdillshare]

Vote Stephen Colbert for president, 2012!

[toincito]

Id vote for stephen colbert anytime!!!

[dexpl0rati0]

hell yea

[colbertgirl1344]

I LLLOOOVVVVEEEE STEPHEN!

He is the sexiest man in this world!

♥♥♥♥

[jonafun516]

this dude is actually a very strong christian.

GO STEPHEN COLBERT!!!

[Azrael561]

Actually, he is NOT a religious fanatic and he is not Christian. His parents taught him that it was possible to question the Church and still be Catholic.

[watermelonsqueeser]

catholicism is classified as a christian religion ... ar-tard.. lol

[Azrael561]

Technically, not anymore...dumb-ass...LMFAOOO *sarcasm*

[AbdodoxD]

so Catholism is a different religon then o_O?

[Azrael561]

Read inbetween the lines my friend...technically YES. It might have Christian roots but it would be like comparing China to Korea or Boxing to MMA.

[watermelonsqueeser]

might have christain roots? wtf are you retarded? the first christian religion ( which was created by Jesus and his Apostles ) was Catholicism. so every christian religion broke away from the Catholic church.

[Azrael561]

Right I'm retarded...and yet you have trouble with comprehension. READ my statement again...IF you can.

[watermelonsqueeser]

alright i guess i get it. so are you really a navy seal? that shits hard. props for that

[Azrael561]

Yes sir but I wasn't in combat for long after witnessing the injustice and horrid bloodshed done by our government.

I'm not a mindless fool or robot, that's why I went back to school.

[BMWizardofOz]

sorry I don´t want to offend you, but I really don´t get your statement?

So do you really think that catholics are not christians?

That would be to the total contrary to what catholics are tought, and to the history that most other christian chruches except some like orthodox christians splitted from the roman-catholic "religion", and not the other way.

Or do you mean he is not christian anymore, and was just raised as christian (catholic)?

[Azrael561]

Don't get me wrong, Catholic = Christian because of it's roots but the small differences in the religions claim seperate teachings. Colbert in several interviews states that his parents taught him strict Catholic teachings since he was born.

I myself am not religious but I came from a family that was very religious. Christians, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Islamics, etc. were all under my family.

[lionessroyalty3]

.The Protestants looked back over history and felt that some of the Roman Catholic interpretation of JC and Christian history may not have been objective. They sought to support corrrect historical fact. I imagine that the Roman Catholics did not like this, and therefore there came to be a split. So all are CHRISTians, though they may have different interpretations of some historical facts.

[Koptfoeva]

technically all us monotheistics are jews considering its the first god religion and the religious world is orignaley tribes of israel even the Muslims but yeah interpretation is what causes wars, and you know the winners right the history

[lionessroyalty3]

Technically Muslims originally came from Ishmael son of Abraham- not the tribes of Israel0 though many of the Tribes might have converted for political reasons at some point. Also, There were Zoroastrians in the Mesopotamian basin- and in fact much research points to all Monotheistic Faiths borrowing much from them. They may have been the 1st Monotheists in that region though different from what others later interpreted.

[lionessroyalty3]

Although the Zoroastrians themselves were probably influenced by the ISraelites during their sojourn in Babylon. It is likely that the Zoroastrian faith was precede by an influence from the Israelite Monotheirstic traditions- as a result this is why Cyrus 2 eventually released the Jews and allowed them to return to Judea. His empire was Zorastrian in nature.

[lotrrox04]

Luther, you mean, didn't look over anything at all. He looked at something that was happening in the church by a select few corrupt officials (the selling of indulgences) and made a big historical deal out of this issue. I'm confused about your comment that Protestants saw Christian history as subjective. This doesn't make any sense; history is subjective! Catholics see their history in the same way. Objective things are simply proclamations of faith.

[lotrrox04]

And claiming that the Church houses the authority of Jesus Christ is a pretty big proclamation of faith, but when it comes to the other areas of faith that all Christian profess, it is actually quite small.

Protestants tend to make historical arguments against the Catholic Church, but they never have historical arguments to support their own philosophy. Which is kind of the point of this thread.

[lionessroyalty3]

I am not sure you meant to reply to me. I was not talking about history as recent as Luther. Ironic isn't it- that JC was struggling against what he felt to be corruption of the faith by some of the Roman sponsored High Priests of Israel- and many years later Luther did this as well. He also got the Bible translated so peole could read and learn from it and become literate.

[lionessroyalty3]

Luther did not himself make a historical deal to my knowledge, but years later as the movement grew stronger- when more people read the whole Bible- felt that the description of the last days of JC were mistaken re ritual & burial. Small details maybe for some- but for others I guess the nature of who JC really was may have seemed important enough to commit to. Just dfferent views is all. I was trying to say that Everyone Christian was/is Christian regardless of what camp they are in.- peace

[lotrrox04]

I agree with your last statement. But I'm again confused. You say that you were talking about some kind of insight (Protestant insight?) before Luther? No one really had an insight like Luther, or at least no one communicated it like he did. You seem to make the mistake that the Bible was read more frequently after the Protestant Reformation. Illiteracy exists in a society whether a bloke prints a billion books or one. Education is what overcomes illiteracy.

[ohitsubob]

all you people are wrong. the mormon faith is the one and only true church. you all are going to hell. because your not wearing majic underwear like i am

[scooped13]

haha.  Loved it.

[lotrrox04]

And I can't think of a single institution on the face of the Earth that is more concerned with education then the Catholic Church. Perhaps she wasn't in the beginning, but that does call for herectics, like Martin Luther, to profess heresy. Illiteracy doesn't mean that people are stupid, or that they can't speak to their priests, or that they can't listen to readings at Mass. Illiteracy simply means that they can't take up the book for themselves and read it.

[AntiChrist06660]

No offense but, Illiteracy does mean that people are stupid. Can you name a single illiterate person who has had an impact on humanity? Galileo/Einstein/Hitler? There are a million, but almost all of them had a more than decent education and could read/write.

[lotrrox04]

And I believe that the Catholic Church, even before it subdued itself into public education, overcame literacy with iconography. The purpose of stained glass windows, for example, was often to portray scriptural stories that the illiterate lay members couldn't have read. I guess my point is that Luther didn't bring about Biblical literacy. The Church has always been a beacon of literacy from its earliest days. God bless.

[deserk]

Of course he is Christian, he's even a Sunday school teacher. Also if you mean he's not Christian, because he's Catholic then you have a very insane logic, because Catholicism was one of the original and first forms of Christianity.

[Azrael561]

& the ignorance starts again...

[deserk]

Maybe you need to elaborate a bit specifically and better, because your comments sound a lot more ignorant.

Do you believe Protestantism is a more Christian religion than Catholicism?

[lionessroyalty3]

Again, CHRISTianity as a whole began with the early christians who were following JCs teachings- it was a revolution for the corruption they felt existed in the leadership of the Israelite community at the time. The Christian people grew. The Romans came and with their interpretation and Roman Catholicism ensued

[lionessroyalty3]

JC was actually an Israelite- as were his apostles- and Maryam too. After his death his followers broke away to become CHRISTians. Roman Catholicism. Roman. Times of the Romans- hundreds of years after the Romans crucified JC the mother of the Roman Ruler had visions and convinced her son and the nation to embrace JC. Ironically, they then used the same brute force that they used to kill JC and other Israelites to force the native peoples of their empire to convert to Roman Catholicism.

[lotrrox04]

Ok, typically I wouldn't post a reply to a message like this, but I feel tired and a bit grouchy, so I'll do it anyway.

The word Roman simply means that the church's authority, ironically, is founded in Rome. This is where Peter and Paul went after the death of Christ, this is where they evangelized, this is where they died, and this is where they are buried. The name has nothing to do with the Romans or the Roman Empire which persecuted Jews many years before the birth of Christ.

[zaika212]

I LOOOOVE STEPHEN!!!!!

[thatbigolhead]

lol poor lary its like trying to fool the poor old man on his porch

[DLN88]

DID Larry king just said he has two sons 8 and 7 years old??? WOW

[RealTime88]

I was surprised as you were when I first read that.

[joeyjackhammer]

I have to disagree, Larry definately understands Colbert's humor. Larry King is a proffesional of epic status, he knows how to keep his composure with men like Colbert.

[RealTime88]

It's the same with the humor of other politicial comics like Jon Stewart and Bill Maher.

[sja11]

larry can't even comprehend this type of humor.

[OrogDeMalfur]

@sja11 uhhhh larry had a smile and played along the whole time

[82ghost]

It takes courage larry..I could lose twice!! LOL

[ruthertide]

Larry has no sense of humor whatsoever. He's too old.

[mangajitsu]

i love larry though. what a baller.

[HalloweenEveryNight]

Is this a deep voice contest or what??

[Allwetterlauf11]

lose = to not win

loose = to not be tight

why can't people get this?

[Greendayrocks789]

lol his voice is so low in this.

[spencerpig]

haha, "I could loose twice Larry!" and he did.

[qertvbnpop1]

i love the picture at 4:42. kinda sows what kind of father he is. wish he was my dad, lol

[fraggyy]

thank you mr colbert...when i tell some of my colleagues back here in Greece that the American organism has still health defending mechanisms,and that Democracy is still alive there,i mean people like you.ευχαριστώ

[spencerpig]

what?

[applesurfer78]

OMG he would be a way better president than John McCain, Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama!!

[spencerpig]

Hellz yeah!

[LucyABC]

He is really awesome isn't he? Really smart and sweet.

[silenzioso84]

"this question comes as a surprise" LOL

[xhadleyx]

The real Stephan Colbert! I thought he was a myth.

"He desperately needed a job!" He is hilarious! :)

[Nemesis0703]

"running for, ...god?" lmfao

[AlexandriaM]

"Igmar Bergman and Joseph McCarthy?"

LOL

[dddandruff]

WHAT OFFICE! lol

[klickenpod]

What a sweet guy. A sincerely awesome guy, so different from his "alter ego". I like to hear how he talks about his kids.. especially the "impress the girls" part.

[JakeRyanFilms]

Nice

[Justino111]

Awesome Colbert.
