They are mocking the celebrities but they definitely aren’t mocking the left. Colbert is just playing a character that is comically conservative. Well at the time it was comical, now the character would be considered moderately conservative.
Steve Carell is funny but not funny enough to be Ricky Gervais or Will Farell funny and not serious enough or charming enough to be Tom Hanks or Paul Rudd. He's got B-list acting talent in A-list movies or TV shows. Paul and Will don't have major awards but still bring more to the table.
@@lovethieves1383 Well there is where you are wrong. I really like Ricky and Will but Steve is not less funny or more. Why the hell do you think that Steve Carell is not as charming as Thom Hanks or Paul Rudd. He is known as one of the nicest guy's in Hollywood. Not serious enough? As you know Steve is a comedy actor but also plays greatly in drama movies. Have you seen The Foxcatcher? Are you blind? How you seen Beautiful Boy? How he acted there. At the end if you see his crying you will cry too because he is a phenomenal actor and you are just a hater who can't make difference between two things correctly.
The fact that they mocked all the attendees at the VERY end by accepting Gervais's award for him (HE didn't fly there obviously) was probably WAY beyond everyone. I'm sure they just thought it was a funny daily show reunion. For the first part, I get the impression most of them are uncomfortable the way reporters were at Colbert's correspondent's dinner. Specifically when they pre-empt what all the celebs are planning to say at the after parties ("I bought offsetting carbon credits") by pointing out that's just another form of economic exploitation and white guilt. Absolutely brilliant, so ballsy, but I wouldn't expect anything less from these two.
The Steve Carell part, that had to have been improvised? Or perhaps they said to Steve ahead of time, IF Gervais wins, you run up on stage and we'll act like you won. Because they wouldn't have known ahead of time who was going to win...right?
The fact that people would post hateful or homophobic comments a video like this says a lot more about the people who make the comments than about the three guys in the video, who are just old friends having fun and entertaining America. I love those guys (Colbert, Carell, and Stewart) especially when they make fun of hypocrites like homophobes. Thanks for posting this, it was a classic moment. :)
That was the moment I decided Stephen Colbert was one of my heroes. It was a brave moment of satire speaking a necessary truth when everyone else was afraid to say it.
@clicchick I sure hope so. I loved the line "we are presenters at an award show and it's our responsibility to chastise those who are impacting the environment." brilliant!!!
@MMAenthusiastUHHE You know - the more I watch them the more I cosign on that statement... they are pretty awesome! Thumbs up to the camera crew for finding the upset faces!!! People forget that theres a director in the back looking at dozens of cameras- all with the intent of making the show worthy of remembrance and in our case -even MORE hilarious seeing the apparent frustration on the faces of some for being called narcissist!!! Ahhh... it is good to see humor stab deep!
Noticed that almost every time Colbert and Stewart present at some award ceremony together, it starts of with Jon asking Stephen, "What are you doing?" What a duo!!
