FBI Director James Comey was as surprised as anyone to learn he'd lost his job. And, somehow, President Trump made the whole thing about himself.

Every night, viewers can expect: Comedy, humor, funny moments, witty interviews, celebrities, famous people, movie stars, bits, humorous celebrities doing bits, funny celebs, big group photos of every star from Hollywood, even the reclusive ones, plus also jokes.
the crowd cheered because they weren't told how to think yet.
Richard Dukard, exactly.
Richard Dukard lol, exactly
The audience cheered Comey being firing than seconds later booed Sessions for recommending it.
@@tedof87 just cause you like something doesn’t mean you have to like who did it (especially if it’s for the wrong reason).
They don't like Comey because of the letter released just before the election showing that the email investigation was being reopened. But Colbert had to remind them Orange Man really Bad. Classice NPCs.
0:10 funny how the crowd cheered for "the wrong thing" lol
Funny. Colbert had to coach them that they're supposed to be pissed, because Trump fired him. The FBI and NSA have already investigated the Trump Russia theory and came up with nothing.
What part of this week's testimony from Comey did you not get? He said the FBI was still investigating, not the FBI came to a conclusion.
+viksra Right? I don't think he was expecting the genuine applause for Comey being fired. He scolds them by calling them Trump supporters, lol. That show was centered around a Comedy Central Reunion...Comedy Central audience are not big trump supporters generally speaking.
viksra just goes to show you how big of fucking idiots they and everyone who watches that guy are
Liberals hate Comey.And like anyone else,liberals are selfish and can't forgive COmey.But still Trump is still worse than Nixon
Talk about brainwashing .... damn! 😂 "No, don't clap, this is bad mmmmkay?"
The Unjust Gamer "Think of the children!"
Audience: "Our apologies, Mr. Celebrity. We forgot what we were supposed to think."
Colbert's joke backfires. Then he blames his audience. GG
I like how since they only got
Was the laugh track operator fired???
This aged well. There is obviously NO bias at all in media!
As someone from Germany let me thank you guys! Y'all saving me some bucks that where meant for the House of Cards subscription.
Sanid so true...😂
right? same here! not from germany or usa tho.
Shino B PREACH
Lineage2Mediacom you seem to be someone who REALLY knows what's going on in germany #completebullshit

Reprogramming in under 60 seconds, a true modern marvel.
Colbert: Comey has been fired by Trump! Audience: (Cheers Loudly) Colbert: No, No, No!! you're not suppose to cheer for that!!
Dylan Traynor they're fcking idiots
I came to the conclusion that They're all fucking mindless goons
Got to keep the propaganda rolling. This is why I stopped watching Colbert and Jon. They were good now just a mouth piece.
??? That makes no sense Razster... Colbert expect his audience to boo at the fact that Comey was fired by Trump not Cheer for it.... that's why he said "wow... a lot of trump supporters here tonight"
Its the start of the show. People are hyped
The crowd cheered when he said Comey got fired, but seconds later booed when he said Sessions recommended it.
Sally yates.. You're Fired. Michael Flynn... You're Fired. Preet Barara..You're Fired. James Comey... You're Fired This is the Apprentice... Yay.
I'm sensing a theme: anyone who displays any competence or professionalism gets fired.
Money money money moooneeeey! MOOONEEEEY! 💰💵💰💵💰💵
Shardul juyal don't forget all of Obama's government aides and the chief usher to the white house
Nixon:"I'm not a crook." Trump:"Hold My Beer"

"Hold my Vodka"

0:15 That Awkward Moment when consensus opinion was supposed to suddenly shift...but you didn't have time to send out the memo beforehand.
Wait, didn't Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi , Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton want Comey to be replaced? Maybe that's why the audience cheered. Good thing Colbert is there to tell people what to think in these confusing times.
Bernie never wanted Comey to be replaced. What kind of drugs are you snorting?
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim That's what you took out of this embarrassing video for the left? What drugs are YOU on?
Henry Burris Unlike your conspiracy addled brain, I know Bernie. Try again, bud
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim you don't know shit, because you're a Bernie bro.
Trump is no longer Putin up with Comey.
KingOfMadCows where's the pun sign?
KingOfMadCows that's funny! i see what you did there.
nice job stealing jokes!

*Waits for Trump to announce that Kid Rock is the new FBI Director*
Solarix lol
Don't even joke about shit like that..... 12 months ago it would have been a preposterous idea but with this fucking idiot in the White House, anything's possible....
Ted Nugent
Bill o reily
Hulk Hogan is getting that job, and then they will turn the position into a reality show that features the presidency, which will also become a hacky reality show... oh, nvm...
When you form opinions without your master's consent. 0:10
Lmao they all cheered bc they hadn't been told what to think yet! And then he still tried to go through with the joke!
“Uh, Mr. President, I’d highly recommend against firing Mr. Comey. Since he’s investigating you, it’d be like Ralph E. Wolf - a.k.a. Wile E. Coyote - firing Sam Sheepdog for watching over Ralph’s sheep-stealing shenanigans. And, of course, I used that Looney Tunes reference as I know how fond you are of watching cartoons right after _Fox & Friends_.” - _Anonymous White House Advisor_
👏 Nicely done, sir. 👏
Am I the only one who cannot read anything said by Trump without doing the Trump voice?.
fidorover. you are not alone..it's like a virus.
Barnali Baruah nope lol
fidorover He watches "Fox and Friends." Do you think he can tell the difference between that and cartoons?
LOVE IT.... The crowd cheer and clap and he looked horrified! HAHAHA HAHAHA!
That reaction was HILARIOUS!!!! But hey; the herd followed in the end. So sad!!
Everyone cheered and applaud at the beginning even though they knew nothing about what happened.. Welcome to America where people dont care to get some information
Just imagine GOP's reaction if Obama did something like this.
could only be a good thing. Comey admitted that Hillary did every illegal thing she was accused of, but invented this bullshit defense of "there needs to be intent for her to actually be guilty" and then went on to say that they couldn't prove intent... even though she used bleachbit to wipe the computers and then had all physical evidence destroyed with hammers. how do you "accidentally" do any of those things?
Obama did stupid sh!t like this all of the time. Why do you think we wanted an extremist after we were sick of being silenced by the left for 8 years?
What did he do worse?
and ofcourse, the trump bots come out and prove they are retarded. but yeah, if this was obama then no doubt all the white racist republicans would be screaming for his head because you know, its worse when non whites act up in the u.s., but not all that bad if he's white.
Is that all you have to say? can you read between the lines?
Woop woop! I waited for this the entire morning!
Colbet said Trump tries to make everything about him, but yet Colbert's entire show is about Trump. LOL
Why has he even the power to fire him?? I don't understand USA.
the fact that the crowd cheers for the news about FBI director being fired shows that people don't really think before they act and follow what's going on around them like sheep....
ok I can see the crew fucking up the audience cue. i'll give you that. I do really hope that is the case. recently it is very difficult to trust general public with all the nonsenses happening around the world and seeing peoples response.
Sungwoo Kim Colbert audience is not the smartest
I was like why are these retards cheering
Do you think the crowd could be cheering Comey's firing because it can simultaneously be seen as a mis-step by Trump, and getting revenge on Comey for destabilizing Clinton's campaign days before the election?
Takata Miyagawa is that what you think actually happened?
BREAKING NEWS - Donald Trump's newly appointed FBI director, Anna Vasil’yevna Kushchyenko, clears Trump and Sessions of Russian collaboration charges!
Angry Kittens are you trying to suggest that an American prosecutor/investigator of Russian heritage would not have the professionalism and competence to conduct an independent investigation and come to a conclusion that implicates Russia? that's kinda like when Trump implied that a judge of Mexican heritage would not be able to give him a fair hearing. Great minds think alike (wink)
@Azalea Brown, no. You seem to be under the impression I'm making a fictional Russian name. I'm talking about a very specific real person. Maybe it'll help if I give you Miss Kushchyenko's American name: Anna Chapman.
You fucking idiot, she's a talk show host
Tristan Rice Friend, it's a joke, albeit one not too far off from what can become reality. I mean Trump already made it clear he's willing to get rid of anyone who tries to shed light on his (alleged) ties to Russia, as if his attitude towards it isn't already suspicious enough. But go ahead, keep faithfully backing your leader while sipping the kool-aid.
Breaking news, after years of investigation it was found that the russian collusion was made up by the left and was a complete hoax!
This stinks to high heaven... Where the HELL is the pathway that leads to Trump getting thrown in jail? Take us there!
>forming your own opinion before the master tells you what to think >CUT! CUT! >I DIDNT TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK YET!
Comey says on national television that he is investigating Trump. Trump says thanks for not investigating me. Trump base convinced.
Comey says on national television that he is not investigating Trump. Colbert says he is. Colbert base convinced.
In that case, hey, hilary wasn't under investigation, the hilary FOUNDATION was under investigation, the hilary EMAILS were under investigation. How dumb do you have to be to think that investigating the national campaign of a candidate is not an investigation into the candidate. Seriously, I mean this is like saying the united states didn't go to war, US soldiers went to war, be specific. You don't want to accept the FBI is investigating the president, so you'll apparently happily pretend that an investigation into his campaign won't involve him. Sure, just like how Benghazi was an investigation into the state department right? It said nothing about hilary. sure, just like how you wouldn't attack obama for obama care, because it's a health bill, not him. This is an intentional level of ignorance that boggles the mind. I can just imagine how you'd respond to someone saying "even if Benghazi was a corrupt cesspit it doesn't matter because that's just a judgement on the state department, not Hilary"
Actually it was Hilary herself under investigation in some of those cases you mentioned. Thanks for bringing those up. Check your facts a little bit before you post.
Shit is getting wild,
Good thing Colbert reminded the sheeple audience that their cheers were not called for.
The last line OH BOY YOU GOT ME THERE MAN
*'Comey knows too much. And he's not going to do exactly as I say. So Fire him.'* - Trump's mind

You should be a writer for CNN.
Comey knew he was a liar and protected crooks at all cost.
Its amazing how in 52 seconds they feel a completely different way. The brain dead masses
You are really getting passionate about this, close to personal. Its intense in a good way! Kick ass!
-he's fired -yay! -you're supposed to go boo! -booo! -my audience is smart! -booo! -no, you're supposed to go yay now! -yay! -now bark! -bark bark! -now roll over! -**rolls** -who's the best audience!? -bar bark! -you're supposed to talk human now!
You can tell the crowd is uninformed when they cheered that comey got fired
The Coding Theory crowd is not a fan of Comey which is why they cheered. They don't like Comey or trump. Comey because of what he did to Hilary. In some way it was felt well deserved. Of course this also means trump can't be investigated by him either. That's just my guess...
Yeah, good thing they had Colbert there to "inform" them! Tool.
The crowd cheers when the audience coordinator cues them to.
The Coding Theory everybody should be cheering. Comey acted like his own entity, like he is his own country. He is the swamp
liberals are by default uninformed
This clip sums up Colbert's show very well. Maybe he should get a "laugh sign" so people know when they're supposed to laugh or not laugh.
I love that he has to coach his audience when to cheer and when to be appalled, god forbid Colbert fans think for themselves
Its so funny that the crowd cheered firing Comey until they were told they should be upset now, and downloaded their new NPC code
Do you really think trump can photoshop anything. He could barely read
Agent Fungus for sure not me, I am Austrian never heard of that, but now I learned something. Thanks:)
There's an extra special place in hell for a President who made FBI agents cry
the Robin Wright joke went unnoticed, but in some years this story will be an award winning movie.
That first reaction from the audience causes me to wonder whether or not they even listen to his monologue.. Lol
Isn't it a little frightening that the person whom is to investigate is fired by the person that he's investigating.
I'm not sure he fired anyone while they were investigating him for a crime. Probably not?
kevin degn drain the swamp
John Drennan: No President is above the law. Any President can be investigated, prosecuted, and impeached for committing a crime from Nixon and Clinton to Trump. The problem with the Comey firing is that the circumstances are suspicious. It's the why. Nixon's big mistake was also firing someone who was investigating him. It made him look guilty. The President is NOT King.
Colbert fans are dumb af. Comey lied to Congress. And if you care so much about the Russian investigation based on absofukinglutely nothing, then you would care about the conflict of interest for Comey to be investigating Clinton. But you don't care, because of my first statement.
trey gowdy will be new FBI director!!!
"Comey was fired!" -Audience cheers LITERALLY 40 fucking seconds later: "He was fired on the recommendation of [person you don't like]." -Audience boos WHAT. THE. FUCK. DOES NOBODY THINK CRITICALLY ANYMORE?
Certainly not the kind of muppets who think that Colbert propaganda holds any weight or relation with reality at all.
It's amazing how well trained leftists are
COLBERT..KEEP EM COMING!
if flyn is the eagle from the Muppets then trump is the Swedish chef,and Spicer is Beaker....
Trump fires James Comey Crowd: Cheers! At the recommendation of Jeff Sessions Crowd: Boo! ???
Colbert: baaaaahhh! *bleating noises* Audience: baaaaaaaaaaaaaahh *bleating noises*
No shit?? James Comey was an incompetent piece of shit. But it's a double edged sword because firing him is pretty much circumstantial evidence that Trump is sucking Putin's cock.
They're cued to do whatever the producers want them to do.
This audience's level of stupid is most likely what people think all liberals are like. We aren't.
Kanye West if that was the case why would the producer cue them to cheer for that then? go home, you're you stupid to troll
Whoops, audience almost extrapolated an opinion without injunction from their sardonic demagogue.
"future Robin wright award-winning performance" well played
When you audience forms their own opinions without daddy telling you what you believe
Once again we see Trump following in Nixon's footsteps....let's hope it ends up the same way.
Mckenzie Latham. Your wrong. Nixon fired Archabald Cox.
John Long You honestly think Trump will bring the change this country needs? No one needs to hope this country has terrible leadership it already does thanks to Donald.
Drain the swamp, starting with Trump.
Let's hope not exactly the same way, Nixon was around for almost 7 years.
The false equivalences are unreal. "OMG ONCE AGAIN TRUMP DRINKS WATER, JUST LIKE HITLER".
"and Sam the Eagle cosplayer..." omfg I nearly pissed myself
i didn't know what to think about this but thanks to Stephen i know now exactly what im meant to think.
*The sheep in the crowd isn't used to reacting to real time news Stephen, you gotta plan these things don't forget!* 😉
+Jo-E . . Haha! You're exactly right! Liberals have to be told how to think or they're LOST! This is absolute proof.
Guss Manning L
You are commiting the ad hominem fallacy. Can you specify on why a possible collusion with the Russian government does not concern you?
Near Apple Because it lacks any sort of evidence.
And when someone tries to find evidence they get fired.
the crowd isn't very smart... cheering just about anything when they sometimes shouldn't...
Does anyone know why it takes so long for youtube to play the video? There is ad after ad and refresh after refresh.
We must support Colbert, no matter what, for giving words to the people's outrage with the additional laughs we need to relieve our distress at being overthrown for wanting a fair share of our nation's power and productivity. Thank you, SC, for making this show your own after the "class act" that preceded you. The character and the man unite to give a forum to the citizen
Wups, Colbert forgot to tell his blind followers NOT to applaud Comey's firing.
I love how they all cheer when he breaks the news to them that Comey has been fired. Then he has to correct them and pretty much tell his audience not to cheer. This is what comedy has been reduced to. A bunch of sheep in one room listening to their leader
This show needs an 'Applause' sign or something this audience dropping the ball
HAhahahahahaha that crowd cheering for comey getting fired was the funniest thing from Stephen since he left the Colbert Report. I'm liking this video based solely on the first 20 seconds of this video.
crowd cheers Comey firing, then Colbert calls them trump supporters signalling to them not to cheer for this, and then they boo sessions for wanting Comey out
Smells like deleting comments in here and paying for thumbs up
Sam the Eagle cosplayer: best alter ego yet!
When people think for themselves before colbert tells them what to believe
COLBERT: Trump fired Comey NY AUDIENCE: YEAAAAAAAAAAAH COLBERT: No guys, this is bad. Here's some awful jokes to explain why. AUDIENCE: Boo?
Liberals hate him because of the exposure he gave to Hillary's emails, but Trump fired him, so it must be bad!
I mean both things were/are bad. The email thing was bad and even Comey admitted that it was bad himself. He should have stepped down because of his influence in the elections at the last moment. It is also bad to be fired unjustly considering the current circumstances when the person he is investigating is the one to fire him.
Incorrect --- liberals hate him because he prematurely announced a bogus investigation, right before the election, to damage the HRC campaign -- but if you can't see that, regardless of how one might feel about Comey, the timing on this firing simply reeks of political maneuvering on Trump's part, then you are conveniently & specifically blind...
Liberals did hate him because of the exposure he gave to Hillary's emails, but Trump didn't. Trump praised Comey at the time for doing that. Now he's firing him at a time when Comey is investigating Trump's Russia ties. He says he did this at the request of Jeff Sessions, but Jeff session praised Comey's actions then too. The cracks are starting to widen.
+boo boo How do you know there is no evidence? Do you have the information that the FBI would keep classified? The person that you replied to just questioned trumps motives, but of course your knee jerk reaction is to call them a "libtard" for doing that.
I think this is the time when everybody can see that the American government is nought but a reality tv show :P....and the supporters of this, are just those who want there pound of entertainment :D
Henry JadaKissinger with the photo-op for the win!!!!!!
That crowd had no idea why they were cheering for Comey's firing.
Is audience just dumb? Are they just cheering for no reason?
"Does everything have to be about trump" How many videos do you have in the last 4 months that don't have anything to do with trump.
they want to give him more publicity to help him win in 2020 just like they did last time
Make no mistake. Liberals really enjoy the taste of Trumps nuts in their mouth.
And republicans love his cum in their mouths :)
+Huseyn Zeynalzade As soon as trump stops being a scummy piece of shit, he'll stop being in the news & talk shows daily...
Don't think you understand what i meant.
How does the studio manage to put the most easily lead audience in human history together for every episode?
00:18 The moment Colbert realized the intellect and integrity of his fanbase. Humiliating!
Love how the audience cheers for Comey being fired so Steven had to correct them because you have to disagree with trump
colbert makes me so happy and he's so cute
he's perfect gabby
and freaking hilarious
I want him to have my baby.
His hair looked really good today.
gabby I'm male and I'll be the first to admit he has a pretty good voice.
The audience in that show will applaud to anything.
lol crowd cheers...
I am so sorry and I love you Stephen but I just can't look over the fact that neither chicken nor fish has gluten so they were all essentially gluten free
Prerak Shah But unlike the third choice, they at least were Putin free...
Hire Trey Gowdy as FBI Director pleeeeeasee :)
Does everthing have to be about him...Colbert does every second of his show.
This is no joke!
He fired Comey to celebrate Russia's national holiday - Victory Day.
His audience is so politically ignorant and in-group conscious that they don't know when applause or boo's are appropriate, unless its explained to them during the 'performance'.
Not as ignorant as those who cheered for the Obamacare replacement or those who believe anything Fox says for example...
Hans Lykfeet cannibalism has been happening a lot in the Liberal community. Even Laci Green has tasted the red pill because she's realizing how bad it's getting on the Left.
I do hope you enjoyed the show, but maybe at the next taping, you should wait for the punchline to be explained to you before reacting.
Yeah, it's fascinating to watch for sure. As an ideology this neo-liberalisim cant stand, this ever tightening circle of virtue signalling and victim-hood is doomed to fall in on itself. It's now a snake with nothing to eat but it's own tail.
"college brochure" - on of the many legacies of UW-Madison. This was the year I was applying to colleges. Forward, friends.
"We have always been at war with Eastasia" declared the announcer to the crowd who were told previously they've been always at war with Eurasia.
Colbert's obsession with Trump should really be looked at
colbert's electronically-engineered audience seems to have had a malfunction.
Holy shit this was one of his best monologues
Awesome! Good job!
*Yawn* This is such a bore already, Stephen. cover something else.
Something tells me this audience doesn't quite understand the implications of this. Whether you like Comey or not, Trump firing him mid-investigation is fucking troubling and brings up a shit tonne of questions.
3:36 If you close your eyes she sounds exactly like Elizabeth Warren lol
this is beautiful... the crowd cheers until their master tells them that they weren't suppose to
