Stephen Colbert: Sparks Fly At Third Dem Debate - Colbert's LIVE Monologue - and Opening



Stephen Colbert uses his LIVE Late Show monologue to break down the highlights of tonight's Democratic Presidential Debate, including the results of the first head-to-head debate matchup between Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden.




It's A Lot Of Fun To Work For Donald Trump



Yes, it's tons of fun to work for this President. That's why everyone who leaves his administration immediately writes a tell-all book.




Deep In The Heart Of Texas



The candidates are here to debate, deep in the heart of (Houston) Texas.


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I have seen various candidates interviewed on Rachel or other shows, one on one. I'm leaning Warren at this point, but not committed.

I think it's important to be able to laugh and understand why we are laughing. I watched the Colbert opening and laughed out loud several times.

I can't wait for an end to 45 being the focus of late night comedians when he is no longer in office. I'll take either Warren or Biden gladly in that role, although I think Joe would provide more comedic material.

last night he was just silly, and lame, and a few times even petty. There was no point in doing that one live.

of Bernie is hilarious when, what he is doing, is making fun of people with a certain accent and way of expressing themselves. I understand that jabs at candidates' personalities are fair game to an extent, but he went way overboard last night. Colbert insulted millions of people who admire and feel a connection with Bernie.

I am still a staunch Buttigieg supporter - but/and - Bernie deserves respect.
