6/10
Same old, same old.
6 March 2024
Always starts the same tiring way.

The announcer introduces him to a round of applause, then he introduces himself to another round of applause...like Steve Harvey.

Then we see the same shot of the show-off drummer who exchanges finger pointing with Colbert (for some unknown reason). It's stupid.

Then the monologue. Each joke is oversold and treated like it's funnier than it is, but the jokes are hit and miss.

The writing is so-so and doesn't match up with the funnier Jimmy .Kimmel. Also Kimmel seems more authentic and the jokes roll out like well-oiled machine.

Colbert always seems to be playing a part, which has grown old over years of repetition.

I don't mind his political bias because after all, we're in the age of Trump and Trump's hate and stupidity beg for satire.

As you can tell, I like the Kimmel show more.
