I give Colbert 2 years at the most and he will be gone. It's the wrong venue for him.
I haven't watched Colbert much. But based on what I saw last night, I'd take the under on two years.
He was badgering poor Scarlett Johansson, and not letting her speak. I was extremely uncomfortable watching it. That bit with the hat? I'm not particularly funny, but I'm pretty sure I could come up with funnier stuff than that. The interview with Musk was also awkward, partially because Musk was uncomfortable, and partially because I think, again, based just on what I saw last night, Colbert is a lousy interviewer. It's his job to put the guests at ease, and he certainly did not do that with either of his guests last night.
People who knew nothing of Musk before last night who watched that interview would not necessarily come away from it with a great impression of him. He came off as a bit combative and a little ornery, and while you can blame Musk for a little of that, I actually blame Colbert for more of it. If word gets around to potential guests that instead of Colbert making them look good Colbert is going to make things uncomfortable for them, who's going to want to be a guest on his show?
If things don't change drastically, I think he's gone in well under two years.
Not as bad as comments here would lead me to believe.
Small glimpse of his sense of humor with the comment about "not dropping anything on the floor" when in the presence of the snake charger prototype. Made me laugh. Superhuman brains, but completely human in every way.
Has Colbert been in the Celebrity owners thread before, or should he been added?
Yes. Colbert talked about owning his Tesla the last time he interviewed Elon on The Colbert Report.
The show is a little off for now. Colbert is growing into his Late Show persona, as opposed to his Colbert Report persona. For now he seems to be mostly playing his Colbert Report persona and trying to tone it down. Habits are hard to change and I can tell that he is struggling with it. He has a very quick mind and given time he could be a really good interviewer. He just needs to get out of the playfully antagonistic questioning.
Likely this was probably not a spontaneous joke from Elon. Could have been his idea or handed to him by the show's writers. These shows typically are very rehearsed with prearranged topics to discuss, jokes etc and opportunity for editing prior to airtime.
I suspect it is a Tesla joke that has been doing the rounds internally and Elon saw an opportunity to use it. Colbert seemed genuinely amused once he got the joke (and let Elon speak long enough to get it out). The point about a barge versus a ship was awkward and Colbert added to the impression of Elon being pedantic and slightly difficult rather than making it humorous. Can't help wondering if tesla questions were put off limits.Likely this was probably not a spontaneous joke from Elon. Could have been his idea or handed to him by the show's writers.
