I just want to know where they found the tomato! 😂😂😂
IKR? Where did it go? How can they leave us hanging like that? Now I'm going to have to spend 30 seconds on Google to find the story! 🤪
I recognize that tomato, I had a volunteer plant that came up this Spring that I did not plant. The thing grew like gangbusters and we are still eating yummy little tomatoes from it. It was probably planted by birds. I've never seen a plant with such a will to live, no wonder that's what they took to space!
That tomato may have escaped the station by now and taken up residence on the Moon! That's okay, I for one look forward to serving our new Moon Tomato Overlords! I'll serve mine with Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing.
There were 2! They were found all dehydrated in the plastic bag in the bedroom complex. They had floated away, finding a bed in the back on someone’s drawer.
me, too
@@MusicfromMarrs What a pain in the ass to lose something in space. It is certainly NOT where you put it down last!
@@DuchessofEarlGrey I can imagine space life makes you more efficient, because who wants to float around hoping to find glasses and what have you?
That was a solid Jimmy Stewart impression.
I love that his writers are such geeks that they threw in the Pon Farr clip at the very end. That was the icing on the space tomato cake.
I had to go tell my son why I was laughing hysterically in the other room. I first explained the possible purloined tomato situation which made him laugh... "Oh, it gets better! Stephen showed the Pon Farr clip with Kirk and Spock and said this is how the astronauts are settling it!"
We are both Trekkies, so he understood why that was so funny!
"Come back here so that I may brain thee!"
That is one of my favorite Star Wars scenes!
Space tomato cake that you can bake yourself, and it's very tasty! Of course, you probably don't have any tomatoes from space, but a can of Campbell's tomato soup will do the trick.
@@ElPayasoMalowell played, you bastard 😂
Perfect Jimmy Stewart impression!
Damned good Jimmy Stewart impression from Its A Wonderful Life. That was an unexpected delight 💜
4:27 Stephen deserves an Emmy nomination for his impression of Jimmy Stewart
Yes, he makes me want to watch a wonderful life tonight.
Really? I like Colbert, but he only got the cadence. The voice quality was not there at all. The best late night impressionist was Trevor Noah; Seth Meyers comes in second.
It makes me wish that they sometimes did sketch comedy.
Yeah. Can he do Johnny Carson, too? Or Bob Newhart?
@@MusicfromMarrsImpression Camp forever!😊❤
Can you imagine years of intensive training to become an astronaut, and being known as the guy who may have secretly eaten the tomato?
My son said that the other two astronauts probably split the tomato and ate it, then blamed it on the 3rd guy! 😄
@@LazyIRanch they literally found it tho so what are you talking about
@@LazyIRanch The Great Tomato Conspiracy Theory... ;-P
@@darksharkofficial I know, and there were two tomatoes, btw.
I was just repeating what my son said, who did not watch this video.
WTF are YOU talking about? I'm not making any claims about what occurred, just repeating what my son said because I thought it was cute.🙄
@@igorschmidlapp6987 From the people who brought you Knives Out and The Glass Onion comes next year's most highly anticipated, mind-boggling, not-real mystery movie ever not made: Tomato In the Sky: The Sauce Thickens.
"Other than that Mrs. Lincoln how was the play?" 😱🤣
That was one of my dad's favorite jokes! 😄He had an endless supply of dad jokes and I sure do miss him.
I liked his "What is the difference between..." jokes. My favorite he swiped from Redd Foxx:
What's the difference between a pickpocket and a peeping Tom?
A pickpocket snatches watches!
(I was in my 20s before I finally got that joke)😆
@@LazyIRanch Watches snatches! 🤣 Excellent!
@@xrzeropoint7989 I remembered another one dad used to tell, but I don't know if people still use the word "goose" as slang for pinching buttocks:
What's the difference between a snake and a goose?
A snake is an asp in the grass...
It actually goes ; besides the massive headache, how did you enjoy the play ?
@@LazyIRanch- I won’t reveal how old I was before I understood my father’s favorite phrase “the whole fam-damily”.
The first murder on Mars, and you know it's inevitable, will probably be over a tomato. "Phelps ate the last tomato! The last tomato for two years until new seeds arrive from Earth. Even then we still need to grown them, again! Phelps had it coming!"
The "Lincoln's Head" joke is the darkest thing Colbert has ever said.
What a snowflake :)
Yeah, that poor astronaut! You know for 8 months they've been calling him "tomato-eater!"
OMG. I’ve been having a really rough week and the Jimmy Stewart bit nearly had me rolling on the floor. Tomato too. Thank you Stephen & writers! I needed that! Have a wonderful weekend!
Stephen rocked the Jimmy Stewart piece wonderfully perfect! 😂 Martini shoot me.🤣 Who needs an AI of Jimmy when Stephen does Jimmy to a tee.
Nice Colbert channeling of Jimmy Stewart!
The tomato was LOST… IN… SPAAAAACE!!!
I’m impressed with the Jimmy Stewart impression!
2:17 King Charles is baked is hilarious
Meanwhile there's a Space Tomato with a bronze tophat eating Swedish Fish out there.
Ummm.... Why does NASA want a tomato back that's been missing for months? To study space mold?
It must be a crafting item.
Sort of. They found the dehydrated flattened tomatoes (there were two) in a plastic bag that the man accused of eating the tomatoes had placed them in after he harvested them. The bag floated into a sleeping area and hid for several months. It had no mold or rot at all which kind of surprised me. They look like sun-dried tomatoes that might even still be edible.
@@LazyIRanch Is it because of the space radiation? Because the temperature and humidity should be the same as on Earth. And gravity is not known to affect the freshness of vegetables.
@@VinceValentinemost things in the ISS are put into vacuum packs so much more likely that they were sealed in an airless environment, although I don’t know that for certain.
The tomatoes are important as they are the first grown and harvested in space and I think NASA want to do a detailed study of them (to cellular/genetic levels) compared to those grown on Earth to see what, if any, differences there are, and whether they are safe to consume in quantity, as a proof of concept for space-grown foodstuffs.
@@sarahrigby7580 Interesting. How did they dry up though? Just from the room temperature?
Let’s not let people get the wrong idea about the candy: they contain “carcinogenic and genotoxic ingredients” (BBC) and the “manufacturers said they were not involved with the sale of their products in [the UK].”
In other words, these products were banned long ago and some shops imported them anyway and authorities simply took them away from the offending shops.
Well, you can send them over here, then. We Americans apparently don't care. And neither does our heavily-lobbied government.
Those are almost certainly from those shady "American Candy" stores that litter Oxford Street. Although in the past couple of years a ton of them have been shut down for all sorts of reasons, including selling counterfeit Wonka bars that are unsafe for human consumption.
Many banned Red Dye #3 etc or other colors. Those colors are also banned in the usa, so it’s likely they were pirated and made in Turkey or similar countries. Our Walgreens had some (USA) and the packaging looked normal, but they were awful. I was looking for an expiration date and saw “made in Turkey” on the bag. I returned them.
@@thesjkexperience Haribo, among others, has factories in Turkey with offices in the EU. It's possible that you had a counterfeit candy, but to blame Turkish origin is a bit of a stretch.
MOuntain dew is a very widely consumed product. considering there is not in fact an epidemic of cancer in america, I'd say it's the brits who're in the wrong here.
Did Stephen just audition to play Jimmy Stewart in a biopic? Because it looks like Stephen just auditioned to play Jummy Stewart in a biopic.
So glad Stephen is still around making the world laugh.
I hope that somewhere someone is recording all of these intricate introductions to Meanwhile. There are some great writers on this show.
I just wrote a comment about that! Right? They're all so genius! We need a compilation montage, or a "best of" clips show.
Someone is. It's called CZcams. 😏
Forget Sharknado; the world can't stop watching Spacemato 🍅👩🚀
Brilliant Jimmy Stewart impression! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for the reupload to remove the weird video problems from the previous version.
I was wondering why the reupload. I saw it originally and thought it was my inet. Same issue I see on digital TV when the weather is bad and the antenna needs moving
But the closed captioning is way off
Only critique of the Jimmy Stewart impression is that it was Mr. Gower that almost gave poison to the boy, not Mr. Martini.
I swear…that tomato story was the feel good story we’ve needed all week! 😂
So many continuity mistakes in that short Star Trek clip:
- Armed, next clip: going backwards with nothing in his hands yet suddenly armed again…
- Going backwards to the right of the ‘statue’ and very next clip: in front again…
- Hitting ‘statue’, piece falls down and somehow in the next shot hitting something hanging… in the air?
It’s an ART form!!
As a woman who loves Star Trek, Amok Time is a great episode. Love me some TOS.
The JIMMY STEWART bit was HILARIOUS!!!!
Great Jimmy Stewart impression Stephen! He's one of my favorites!
Bravo! Stephen's Jimmy Stewart is EXPERT!
Rubio went full Tyrion Lannister on trial over that bloody tomato 🍅🤣
“Tomato, tomahto” - but NASA wasn’t going to “let’s call the whole thing off”. 🍅
We need a Netflix series about this space tomato drama.
Watch the movie Sunshine. It comes darn close.
_Geotropism_ with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney
The book is better😉
Only if we could bring back Columbo (and not via AI) to investigate in the space station.
"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"...
Doris Kearns Badwin is a seriously underrated joke.
This was a great Meanwhile😂
The word-salad intros to Meanwhile are worth waiting for.
I 💖Louis Cato and the Late Show Band!!!
What is the intro song?
@@Bat_Boy The opening theme? I think it's called "Humanism" and was performed by Jon Batiste and Stay Human.
@@Ann-snowshoeingonEnceladus - I think I know the artist, but don’t know the song…Kanye West.
Here in the UK trading standards officers have been visiting local stores, if any of the stores are stocking smuggled US candy the officers have been confiscating the stock and fining the stores. The candy just doesn't meet UK standards for the safety of additives.
Seriously for a moment:
The American products were seized because the US FDA won't ban anything unless it's proven toxic, whereas this side of the pond we insist that fits and drink makers only use ingredients that are proven safe. The items seized were illegal immigrants that contained dodgy chemicals that nobody can say are either dangerous or safe.
Personally I'm really glad to live in the careful side of the pond, rather than in the country where a risk to profits is more important to the legislation than a risk to health.
National health care makes a difference. Ban the poison before it gets into your body, then health care for disease may cost less. What is UKnih saying about relationship between atorvastatin and increase in pancreatic cancer?
You havent lived until you'v puked up red dye #5 and clogged your colon from eating too many Swedish Fish! Throw in some flaked-off teflon from an old, non-stick frying pan and you got yourself a classic American Picnic side dish. It's even more better with some chemical, er I mean, 'cool' whip on top!
Proactive measures are safer than reactive ones.
@@id10t98😂😂
Most better policies in Brittain. In the US money is the only thing 99% of our people care about. It's fucking pathetic and will be our downfall.
America is where food additives banned by other countries is fit for human consumption. Yikes.
It’s not only Mtn Dew. Fago soft drinks also contain unacceptable levels of a carcinogen that’s a byproduct of those recipe’s particular high fructose corn syrup.
Remember when saccharin was banned when they found that eating boxcars full of it could cause cancer? ;-P
Who needs AI Jimmy Stewart when you have Colbert Jimmy Stewart? 😂. It’s A Wonderful Shtick!
Man! That Jimmy Stewart moment was incredibly well done!
They _think_ they found the tomato, but little do they know it's actually an alien replicant which will trigger a vegetable apocalypse when it reaches Earth.
Space tomato eaten…start of zombie apocalypse!
I don’t care if the audience didn’t get it, that DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN joke was on point! 😅🤣
@Grayson-fo2lhUm, what does this have to do with Lincoln and Doris?
@@melanies.6030 As a presidential historian, Doris was big on Lincoln...
I thought that Bill O'Reilly would've been funnier (he did write that book)...
Yes lol!!!😂🎉🎉❤
@@igorschmidlapp6987 Yes, I know who she is, and I got the joke. The graphic they did of her was hilarious, and I know she's a good pal of Stephen's and would love the joke too. My comment was to "@Grayson-fo2lh" and his completely non sequitur comment. Edit: Not to worry, looks like his/its account has been terminated by CZcams. 😄
Nailed Jimmy Stewart 🎉
It wasn't Martini that almost poisoned the boy, it was Mr. Gower...
Mr Gower almost gave the boy the wrong medication, not Martini.
Spittin' coffee again! Your Stewart is spot on, Bravo, Maestro!...to tomato swipe Gilbert Godfrey!?!!!??? Coffee everywhere.
Obviously the tomato mutated and is biding its time to attack the the Earth as... A KILLER TOMATO!!!
My Trekkie ass was so excited to see that Star Trek scene at the end lmfao
The Jimmy Stewart bit/impression is just priceless! :D :D
I feel like i only watch _Meanwhile_ for that fine band Stephen has.
Aren't they the BEST? I really love Jon Batiste, but now I adore Louis Cato and the Stay Human band! Every member is extremely talented, several studied at Julliard. I think Louis could probably play any musical instrument that ever existed, if he was given 10 minutes to practice first.
I looked up the wonderful bass player/vocalist Endea Owens (the gorgeous woman in purple) to learn more about her and hear her other performances. She has an album of her original classic jazz music called "Feel Good Music".
Boy the subtitles were really off. Yes, Stephen deserves an Emmy. He is always good.
are you talking about youtube subtitles? because that has nothing to do with colbert/cbs or anything like that
@@darksharkofficial Who else does them?
@@karlwilhelmmeinert7592 they are automatically generated with AI, all youtube videos are. it would be physically impossible to add CC to all youtube videos by hand.
@@darksharkofficial That depends. Presumably, the Late Show uploads its own transcript along with the video, and when you rely on CZcams to automatically sync a pre-existing transcript to audio it sometimes gets goofed up like this.
@@stationminute no, not presumably. this isn't the entire show. it's a clip.
Haha! I love waking up and watching this Stephen! 🖤
awesome Jimmy Stewart performance there Stephen!! 👏👏👏
"Move On Up". Love that song!❤
Louis is living his best life and I'm here for it!!!!! 🤗🎉👍🏌️♂️⛳
Steven, your Jimmy Stewart is astoundingly good.
F**ing great james Stewart impression!
All sorts of tributes for Trekkies today.
two references to star trek, good job carrying the ball, or tribble...luv ur show.
@Grayson-fo2lh all people should be loved so God grant me the ability to bite my toungue!
Watching this segment while eating my king size twizzlers Is just GREAT!😂😂😂
"I have a King-Size Twizzler for ya'" is what I tell all my dates... ;-P
Twizzlers or red vines ? I'm asking which is best tasting 🤔
@@igorschmidlapp6987 LMFAOO
@@timothyburnett2770 I have to try red vines😋
Come on. We all know that black licorice is the best.
Me reacting to the Lincoln's head joke. Bwahaha. Oohhhhh. Aww. Urmf. Meh. Bwahaha.
Imagine the UK banning American chemicals in food! You'd think half of us had diabetes or heart disease or cancer or something. Oh, wait...
Professor Moriarty was envious of the Lincoln hat.
Apropo Lincoln's missing hat: There is a great episode of "The Derry Girls" - a charming coming of age saga for teenage girls and one boy set in Derry/Londonderry during the troubles. One of their troubles is the World's most boring uncle. The episode centres on Bill Clinton's visit to Northern Ireland and it is discovered that the uncle met JFK during his visit in the 60's and had a conversation with him. The father of one of the girls blurts out "He was the unluckiest president in history - cornered by Uncle Colm and then shot!"
I can't believe that a fight like that broke out about a tomato...
never put a tomato in the fridge it kills the flavor
Solid Doris Kearns Badwin joke. Thought for sure he was gonna say Conan though.
Apologies to Doris ......
JUST YESTERDAY I was thinking, "Wouldn't it be cool if there were a fountain pen themed Meanwhile intro?" AND HERE IT IS. My life is complete. ❤✒️🖋✍️
How would you like to be the first person to grow a tomato in space, and also the first person to lose the tomato? Then again, it's just the kind of thing a space cadet would do.
At the ending, The gong (made of cardboard or styrofoam) being struck thereby breaking a large piece off the gong, capped this “meanwhile” clip perfectly.
The mouse VR goggles will certainly help in the search for cancer cures, and also for other medical research. Almost all medical research involves testing on mice; allowing researchers to control variables surrounding experiences will allow for more focused research. Remember that, when Galileo built a giant telescope, no one imagined that the same technology would be used to create microscopes, or that microscopes would be used to study mice for the purposes of identifying new antibiotics. ALL of science supports ALL of science.
I know other euro countries banned some US snacks because of red dye 40, so I'm not suprised tbh
That, and all the genetically modified ingredients, the otherwise chemically altered ingredients, the unnecessary chemical ingredients plus the ridiculous amounts of sugar and/or corn syrup in EVERYTHING!!
There are SO many US products banned in Europe and the products that aren’t banned are usually extremely modified to be able to meet the much higher European standards for food consumption!
*Y'All caught that this was the Star Trek scene with a major "oops"* --- Spock & Kirk are battling with weapons, then
*for a split second James Kirk **_DID_** NOT **_HAVE_** a weapon in his hands, but the next second he **_ONCE AGAIN_** DID HAVE A WEAPON --- it's a very funny scene!*
"And THAT my love, IS STAR TREK!!!"
Also, I hate to be THAT guy; however, there was a continuity error in the clip. Right in the middle, Captain Kirk suddenly doesn't have his weapon, a lirpas I believe it's called. LOL
There's something messed up when the deputy administrator thinks it's an OK question to ask one of her astronauts if he's eaten a multi-million dollar experiment. Like, at some point you're supposed to have figured out how to treat your "employees" as adults.
The five months on strike put the writers off their stride, but they're really beginning to hit again, and on all 24 cylinders.
Too bad everybody takes the next three weeks off.
I wonder if NASA can help me find that gram of hash my dog insists he didn't eat.
How about the audience's tepid reaction to "Lincoln's head can't catch a break."? What, too soon?
That was a damn fine Jimmy Stewart!
In it’s a wonderful life , Mr martini did not give the poison to the boy, it was Mr. Gower.
Stephen tell the writers.
That impression was spot on!
My boss once told a joke where the punchline was based on “Mont Blanc”, but I had no idea what that was
What an awesome Jimmy Stewart imitation!!!!
Stephen, wow, great Jimmy Stewart impression and my Mr. Potter impression might have a hit!! Hahaha
Great Jimmy Stewart impression!
Awesome imitation of Jimmy Stewart.
That impersonation was spot on. Bravo, Stephen! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
4:00 "It's a simulation of a boyfriend explaining the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek..."
That's not your boyfriend. That's me, every time one of the girls on the "Big Bang Theory" says there is no difference. And I'm not smiling.
LOVE!!! The MB Fountain pen reference!!!
I want that pen
I can't remember the name of the movie, but there is a futuristic scene of seeing a deceased loved one and talking to them. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a reality one day.
what can I say I'm serious about people stealing my tomatoes 🤣🤣
Kirk had a lirpa in his hands, then he didn’t, then back holding again.
My immersion in a 40 year old show about space travel has been shattered by a continuity error
Deja-Vu... Could've sworn I saw this like 7 hours ago.... Well it was still funny back then.
It was weird... It suddenly went private the sec I tapped on it lol then it was taken down for some reasons
@@deusexmachina2222There were several seconds of visual/audio glitches in the middle, right as he was finishing the punchline of the "that is my segment" spiel
