The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is ending after nearly eleven years, which has us all pretty depressed. Not just because we\u2019ve loved Colbert<\/a> since his Comedy Central days, but for what the cancellation of his show implies on a larger scale. But as great as Colbert was in his late-night run, even he acknowledges that some jokes flopped, or were simply ill-timed. On one of the last episodes of CBS\u2019s The Late Show,<\/a> Colbert put together a few of these \u201cWorst of the Late Show\u201d bits, which he\u2019s showing off now. But were they really that bad? Watch the video below and judge for yourself. <\/p>\n

One of the gags goes back to 2016, only a year after the show began. Back to election night, specifically. With everyone on staff believing that Hillary Clinton was winning the election, they wrote the words \u201cI\u2019m With Her\u201d across the exposed butt cheeks of several young men at a urinal. Well, for obvious reasons, Colbert scrapped that joke. Although we got a (blurred out) look at how that was going to look. Another joke wasn\u2019t quite as naked, but a fake commercial for \u201cerotic body gravy,\u201d meant to air around Thanksgiving. Colbert realized the models were just too hot, and the joke doesn\u2019t work if the actors are actually sexy.<\/p>\n

Even the \u201cworst\u201d Stephen Colbert bits are usually funnier than some other late-night hosts\u2019 best attempts at humor. We\u2019re not naming names here. (But no, we don\u2019t mean Jimmy Kimmel. Do the math.) We know that Colbert will soon be making a Lord of the Rings film<\/a> in the next few years with Peter Jackson, but we hope that eventually, he lands back on late-night television as a host. This is really where he belongs, and no one in the modern TV era does it quite like him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Humor The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is ending after nearly eleven years, which has us all pretty…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":461280,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,282],"class_list":["post-461279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=461279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/461280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=461279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=461279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
