      Exactly! I had an old friend try to convince me that doing yoga was not the will of God as if I was some sort of robot. Safe to say, we're no longer friends bcz she kept pushing. I have runner's knee thanks to the military and hot yoga is one of the best investments I've made in my health. After my morning devotion, I do my yoga stretches for 15 minutes right on the floor by my bed. Great way to start my day.

      These people are fanatics, which makes it all the funnier that they actually understand nothing about the thing they're so fanatic about. The point is to resist temptation, not to remove it. The point is to choose faith after deep reflection and consideration, not to have it rammed down your throat and unthinkingly regurgitate rote wailings and incantations. These are the people who think that God is a bureaucrat who keeps score of what you eat, and which magic words you say, and whether you put your weewee in the right yoohoo, and who can be tricked on technicalities. If there's a Heaven to go to, you'll get in there based on the content of your character, not on whether you fucked fish or meat on Fridays.

I think you can find proof of anything if you search enough that are afraid and those are easy to find, it's harder to find people who aren't afraid of other religions or beliefs or Creeds or nonbelievers.

I know he's had an audience for most of his career, but he's really found his own in the quarantined format, and seemingly gotten used to it. I liked Colbert Report too - didn't see him on Daily Show because I have never had cable, and only saw Colbert Report when at my brother's - but watching some of that makes me cringe now. It's a bit dated and I have fully acclimated to his real persona and prefer it to the fake Colbert. BUT I think he's fucking funny and also humane. He's no David Letterman, though. He's a PERFORMER, for sure, and a better actor than Letterman, but Letterman will always reign supreme as far as talk show hosts. For me, anyway. Sorry, got off on a tangent. Frankly, though, I don't want Colbert to have an audience again. I know he does, but someone said before they hope maybe once a month he'll go back to this format. Doubtful he will, though.

      I like how late night shows are showing off the writers more. And I love how diverse they are!

    June 14th is my birthday! What a great gift because it genuinely seems like Stephen is happy to have an audience again.

    You know, Jon Stewart is still under Stephen's desk since March last year. Wonder if he'll pop out on the 1st day they reopen like a groundhog at the start of Spring.

      If Jon pops up and sees his shadow, it will be a good (and encouraging) rest of the year.

    Stephen - Evie needs to be your permanent co-host, on set, on the couch. Modern and much better looking than Ed McMahon. Her laugh is infectious and she plays a great foil to your shtick. 👍

    So glad you're going to return to the theater! I have truly loved watching your show anyway, and boldly laugh at the humor. But I know you want to get back there in front of your live audience! You're the best!
