What I liked:
- Colbert was spot on. He did a great job hosting the show. Very energetic.
- He did his shtick from The Colbert Report, which was pretty good too. Hopefully this will be a part of every show.
What I didn't like:
- The band. They tried way too hard to be "fun". Way too flashy. Then again, I hate all late night bands. I could never stand Paul Shafer either.
- Too soft on Jeb Bush. Of course he has to be nice to his guests, but the answer to the "how are you different from George" question was long winded and weak. There was room to ask a polite question or two about that but Colbert ignored it. Maybe he felt bad because of audiences super-light, let's call it "polite" applause for Jeb when he walked out?
Overall though, good show. I will definitely keep watching. Looking forward to seeing guest Elon Musk on tonight.
