"It changes them in some way." Yes, Mr. Bezos, it brings them humility. On you, humility has yet to find any point of purchase.
Maybe he can order some from Amazon.
He claims he experienced the overview effect but I sincerely doubt it. He didn't spend his 1 minute and 3 seconds in space gazing out the windows but goofing around...
Oooh Jon and Stay Human playing the melody of a Chopin Nocturne at the very end! Got me feeling some kind of way 🥰 love those little musical touches!
The joke about Jeff Bezos changing into someone who pays any income tax whatsoever was worth the price of admission. I felt that one. One can dream.
It's absurd that someone can be a billionaire, and pay absolutely no tax whatsoever!
Don't hold your breath.
@@Hollins23 well thanks to trumps tax breaks 4 the rich its possible.
@@marvinmartion1178 oh I have no intention of doing that.
@@Hollins23 and yet billionaires use all the services and infrastructure that peoples taxes pay for, eg, roads, schools hospitals etc. It's disgraceful and I don't know how they have a conscience 😠🤦🏼♀️
WOW.... SUPER JAZZY CHOPIN MUSIC TONIGHT!
Can we have them upload Jon and the band just jamming with the audience? Love their spirit.
trevor noah is very good at crowd interaction
That cat has style.
For anyone wondering, it is written as: Rhys McClenagahanuheh...
excellent thank you
I just know that he's hot. I hope he gets to give that bed a workout!
Meanwhile: That was a heck of a beat JB & Band. Really got me groovin' there!
can we take a moment to talk about Jon’s style…❤️
i came to the comments to find out. not sure, but it reminded me of the Smiths, How Soon Is Now, though, i don't think that was it.
JB and Stay Human bring such life to each show
Maybe Bezos will give his employees a bathroom break...maybe.
These people never change. Only get more selfish.
@@AndorranStairway People line up to get the jobs because everyone's got bills to pay and everyone has to eat. And some people can't afford the luxury of choice.
Hey, you all voted for more and more neoliberalism and unchecked capitalism. Don't complain that the guy who won the game is now shafting you. You've all asked for it. You know who's _not_ pissing in bottle ? Amazon workers in countries outside the USA.
@@TheNefastor I didn't vote for shit. These wheels where turning long before I came around.
@@qasperr994 I didn't mean *you specifically* I mean Americans as a whole. I rarely see anyone complain about capitalism, even when it f*ucks them over and throws them out. You clowns are still operating under the delusion that places like Europe are the new Soviet Union.
Jon Batiste is consistently a STUNNING dresser......top drawer sir, absolutely top drawer.
I don't understand why so many people get attacked by sharks. I mean, how do they not hear the music?
😂
@@rustyjeep2469 You mean like when you're paddling a boat and _you hear banjo music?!?_
alcohol and night swimming: it's a winning combination!
THEY ARE NOT ASTRONAUT THE FCC DETERMINES WHOSE A ASTRONAUT AND THEY DONT MEET THE ASTRONAUT REQUIREMENTS OF THE FCC AND NASA
Underrated comment.
If time in space furthers self-knowledge, you'll hate the experience, Jeff.
Maybe he will start to feel that his employees are human, and deserving of being treated with dignity. Oh, sorry, this is science, not science fiction.
Weirder shit has happened... I'm sure....
U guys are out of your mind
Rowynne Crowley Jeff is a great Human, he treats his employees well
@@adarshpandey6594 are you one of those people that Bezos pays to praise him online, or are you just that stupid?
@@AndorranStairway that's just an out right lie. You must be one of the people he pays to spread these lies. It is well known how horrible it is for delivery drivers and warehouse workers.
New names for Shark Atteck... 1) Close Encounter of the Toothy Kind. 2) Inter-species Misunderstanding. 3) Shark Event. 4) Ouchie-time!
5.) Attempted taste test
Surprise weightloss
6) Shark encounter. 7) Dietary investigation. 7a) Dietary disappointment.
Involuntary shark-mediated mastication event.
Let’s say the Eggplant was just happy to see the Peach.
I want to be as high on life as Jon is all the time🥰
Literally the first time ever hearing Jeff Bezos talking. Definitely not what I imagined.
The laugh wasn’t maniacal enough.
I kept expecting him to talk about his next scheme to defeat Superman.
1st time I heard him talk as well and it is what I imagined all he did was talk about himself.
@@lazyliger8740 This. I expected a self centered jackoff hoarder. I got one.
Ñ h gg u in
Leave sharks alone. They're just trying to live their lives, and they don't even really find us tasty.
How do you know? Do you speak sharkish?
@@gluteusmaximus1657 I'm pretty sure everything in the ocean speaks Finnish.
I agree with the big slab of meat there. Sharks sometimes think we're tasty and that can be bad enough -.- We don't even look like seals that much, and still... Maybe it's the splashy sound on a surfboard... Anyway, tell the one legged surfers sharks just trying to live their lives xD
@@corbeau-_- Many of the one-legged surfers agree with me, though.
Are you on Bezo’s payroll? Oh, you mean actual sharks! The ones that actually are critical to bio systems on earth. Yeah, they need to be protected and humans need shark repellents when they get in the way.
John Baptist 😎. That was some good musical vibes man 👍🤠
When I saw the team Bezos was going to space with, for a second I thought he was bringing his family or something. Now that I know, it’s awesome to hear that Wally is going. She’s been waiting so long she deserves to go. Bezos, not so much.
Bezos did bring his brother along as well.
Will Bezos be changed to give toilet breaks after peeing on edge of space?!
no, his doing it to piss on all of us.
Yeah, right. The guy is going to space wearing a suit that was designed to go to the bathroom right there in the suit. You think that's going to give him incentive to let his employees take bathroom breaks? If anything, we're likely to see an Amazon basics adult diaper being developed.
@@imnotmike yup agree. I forgot they go in their suit. Weird
Meanwhiles always make my day🥰🙏
John always makes me laugh he is great lol
As funny as the shark "interaction" thing is, it's important to work on sharks' public image for their conservation.
Sharks aren't endangered.
@@marsupius en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_threatened_sharks
@@marsupius Yes they are.
Their manners could do with some polishing. This morning at a bay on Rottnest Island, off the coast of Fremantle in West Australia. A 3metre, aka about 10 or 11 foot Great White Shark. It knocked a Surfer off his board. Mr White just wanted a turn on the guys surfboard, but didn't have the courtesy to ask!
I’m not a humorless vegan activist, but sharks have plenty of bad publicity. I’d like to see a moratorium on slaughtering sharks, snakes, & spiders. Shark teeth face toward their stomachs. Once they have accidentally grasped a human (we’re not delicious: stringy, less meat than bone, covered in unpleasant nylon skin, fight a lot), they can’t spit you out. Think of it as a partnership: you want out, he wants you out. The limb(s) he has half-amputated are collateral damage. Don’t punch or gouge him! He wants rid of you. Try to get unhooked before he tears you in two in a violent, thrashing panic.
Except when she was 24 people could afford to live on their own and also own a car, and still have money left over to take a very nice vacation once a year
I just love the banter between Stephen, and Jon!! That was fun. :)
Bezos: We hope it changes you into someone who believes in a living wage and the right for workers to organize.
Don't hold your breath.
Fat chance.
Besos will never change. But the USA economy will disintegrate.
I am holding my breath primarily because I want to measure how long I can hold my breath.
That is somehow, the first time I've heard Jeff Bezos actually speak lmfao
I could care less of Bezos going almost into space...I'd be better entertained watching my grass grow.
I prefer paint drying you can see the color change slightly.
Don’t wanna sound like that guy but it’s “couldn’t care less” - could implies you care some
I'm glad you care about bezos
*couldn't care less
@@wi1dcard192 thanks for commenting that so I don’t have to. I will never understand how that mistake is so common, if people just took a second to think about what they just typed they would realize that phrase makes no sense
I don't know if anyone from the show actually reads the comments, but I hope they do. I am a long-time viewer of this show, but this is the first time I've commented. I think the editing on this clip is the best I've seen. Those of us who can't watch the whole show don't get a chance to see/hear the band for an extended period of time. This is the first clip I have personally seen where we've heard the band for quite a while after the break. We need more clips like this. I really enjoy Stephen, but the band is great too.
Here's hoping that it will turn Bezos into someone who knows how it feels to pee in a diaper at work.
Space... more important than Earth to billionaires.
Wally Funk is the only deserving person in that crew.
Based on what metric?
@@luckycatdad8369 She worked hard, is well trained and obviously very patient.
@@christelheadington1136 OK so you could say she's deserving. Fair point. How does that disqualify the rest of the crew from deserving the achievement as well?
@@luckycatdad8369 well one is the spoiled 18 year old son of a super wealthy guy. If you call that deserving you are part of the problem.
@@neolithic3 ok that's just one though. What about the rest?
Funk finally became “UPTOWN FUNK”
loving the band playing Chopin at the end there
I love how Stephen's given more and more spotlight to Jon Batiste after the Oscar win!!
I think people would still pack in to see Stephen Colbert with the warning “ audience members rarely consumed by the host” 🤣
My body is ready.
Wally Funk has 10 times the energy Bezos does. Wally for president.
More of John possible? His hand is eclectic and unique. Few talents transport like their talent does.
I still say we're being unfair to sharks. They're just living their lives in the sea, we're the intruders.
and dressing in a black wetsuit and splashing around in the ocean is like dressing as a hamberder and hanging out at mag a lardo.
Yeah-imagine what we’d do to a random shark 🦈 strolling thru our back yard…🥴
I have successfully avoided shark "events" for over 50 years, the last 40+ of them by swimming only in fresh water.
Richard Branson didn't actually go to space... but he's saying he did. That's hilarious. They never left the atmosphere. And Bezos isnt either Hahaha!
Branson never said he was going to space only to the edge! Bezos went 352.000 feet. The Karman line is 330.000 feet, so Bezos did infact go to space,
@@peterdunlop2092 That 'Karman Line' man... did people ever really decide that was actually space? They are still trying to figure that out. 352.000 feet? What is that in real measurements? 67 miles (108km)? They are still trying to define where 'space' starts. Definition proposed in international law discussions defines the lower boundary of space as the lowest perigee attainable by an orbiting space vehicle, but does not specify an altitude. This is the definition adopted by the U.S. military. Due to atmospheric drag, the lowest altitude at which an object in a circular orbit can complete at least one full revolution without propulsion is approximately 150 km (93 miles), whereas an object can maintain an elliptical orbit with perigee as low as about 130 km (81 miles) without propulsion. The U.S. is resisting regulatory movement on this front.
@@TheAccidentalViking sounds about right. The US would never allow a ruling that proves they blow smoke up the opposition's ass to look superior
@@aignemakerofchase Or a scientifically accurate definition. They can't even use the metric system.
@@aignemakerofchase Politicians accept bribes from billionaires who want to sooth their narcissism. Wait for it.
William Shatner sings 'get the Funk out ma face' while rocketing into space 😂
Colbert was channelling Jon Stewart on that last joke!
Jeff Bezos has a lot of “me” to manage.
Why on earth do ordinary people applaud anything that Besos does? He's apparently one of the vilest bosses on earth in addition to not paying his share of taxes. I'm hoping for a huge failure.
Oh yea! Another spoiled rotten rich guy gets to show off his big toy! The homeless and those of us drowning in medical debt are jumping for joy! This will surely change our lives!
Surprised by the Band playing a version of a Chopin Nocturne there at the end! That Jon!
Wouldn't it be ironic if Bezos started a Mars colony and he want the colonists to pay taxes for living on Mars.
Of course he would make them pay him taxes... Rules for thee, not for me
And if they don't... No air lol
@@ghoraxe9000 Winsor McCay predicted this over a century ago: see "Mr. B'Gosh" in the strip "Little Nemo"...
I have reasons to believe that Jeff is doing this space thing to physically run from taxes.
when you owe that much, its definitely worth the cost of the attempt 😂
How is a sub-orbital flight supposed to help you run from taxes? The New Shepard can not reach orbit at all.
I doubt that. Nobody’s asking him for taxes (well, we are, but we don’t matter to them).
Won’t be the first rich dude writing off his joy rides. My former boss did it too on a more modest scale, while laughing all the way.
I hope he lives a happy life in space and lets the earth in peace, he's done enough damage
OMG!!! Jon’s trousers!!!👀👀👀👀
Stephen Spielberg's 70's classic shark movie "Mouth" 🦈 👀
I hope it changes Jeff Bezos to treat his workers like actual humans.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Oh, you sweet summer child.
Stephen is an oasis in the middle of the desert. As one of the marginalized, he's one of the last "free" laughs!
So glad Stephen took the time to correct the Irish gymnasts name 😆😂
I still feel the main mission that every space agency should be focused on is a way to clean up space debris.
I really prefer the pandemic format. I can see that Colbert enjoys the audience, and that's the problem. His crankiness and irreverence was what made the pandemic format so hilarious.
and i miss Evie’s laugh as well as seeing her!
"Warning: do not google 'eggplant edges peach.'" Oh, now Stephen, you _know_ none of us were considering that until you told us not to _do_ it, just now. 🤷
and now we kind of have to don't we, just to get it trending on google
I won't google "eggplant edges peach", but I will Duckduckgo it.
The Rich Have A New Status Symbol ? MY ROCKET IS BIGGER THAN YOUR ROCKET !!!
Surprised they didn't try to rebrand the shark attacks as "encounters".
Renaming shark attacks to "interactions" is something taken straight out of the American police PR handbook. Total cop move, Aussies!
Actually I think the better word would be Event. Shark event. But as an Australian, I usually refer to it as a Close Encounter of the Toothy Kind.
Thing is, they often aren't actually attacks, but the shark trying to explore what the heck that thing is that swims so weirdly. But the only tool sharks have to interact with the world is their maw, so they nibble on you and most of the time decide you are not food. Of course, humans experience this as a terrifying attack on their lives, so I'm not sure this makes much difference to people.
Defund the sharks
Meanwhile starts at 2:48
The first 2min48sec were the best part!
Oh God I love the intro to Meanwhile!
Now that corrections are emmy worthy. Stephen wants a piece of this pie. 😁
Is imitation flattery or plagiarism?
Candygram......Pizza delivery.......
So sharks don't bite,they just interact in a very detrimental way to your person!🤪
A bit like Republicans 🤣
@@thearmchairjournalist566 unfortunately so true
Beautiful smile always wear this on your face always
2:49 lol ur welcome
Wally Funk replacing Bootsy Collins in Parliament Funkadelic 😂😂😂😂
Dr.Colbert: Galactic Mission Jon Batiste: Headed into Space
Rebranding shark "attacks" same way "shot dead by police" is rebranded as "police involved shooting".
Stephen's humility is what makes him so admirable.
Ok Jon Baptiste! I hear that Blonde Redhead - For the Damaged Coda you're all playing and I am here for it!
So in order to pronounce an Irish surname with a 'gh' in it, remember that the g is silent and the h is pronounced. So Gallagher is actually pronounced Gal-a-her contrary to how it's pronounced in Shameless. Monaghan is pronounced Mon-a-han and McClenaghan, is pronounced Ma-Clen-a-han. Easy right?
Beautiful smile always wear this on your face always
Gotta say, I liked these talk shows a lot more without the screaming audience...
it's a bit over the top
You're wrong
I mean, it’s obvious how much the audience means to Stephen, so I’m happy for him, but yeah, I preferred the show without the howling, hooting pack of-well I don’t want to say idiots, but that’s just how they sound. Why can’t American audiences watch shows like regular people who haven’t broken out of a mental institution?
@@adh0c468 it's deliberate. They're hyped up and coached. All a deliberate part of the fakery that is inherent to the showbiz. They have to make it seem like every word out of each host's mouth is some kind of miracle of man. No offense to Stephen, it's just the formula across all talk shows.
My favorite part of every show is when he talks about how hard he works to make the monologue. It's just so wordy and perfect.
The rocket should've had veins to make it look more cocky
Stephen, we know you love us, but you also knew none of us would look up eggplant edges peach until you told us not to do it.
isn't "going to space" reaaaaaaaaallly overselling it? it's the edge of the space for a couple of minutes. they're not going to a space station, to the moon or similar. they're not astronauts, merely passengers.
It is a bit like announcing you're going on a long walk and only getting as far as pressing you noses against the window.
@@Belzedar Still, the risk is that something could have catastrophically failed and everyone died. I agree its no bragging rights for the Bezos, but Props to the engineers and technicians to actually build that that rocket and capsule
I miss quarantine-while!
I will admit she was the only reason I was not praying for a small “explosion” lmao
Am I the only one that thinks shape of his rocket is deliberately "compensatory?"
I hope he has no clue and the engineering and design team did it because the guy is such a dick.
It does look like Dr. Evil’s rocket.
#BanBillionaires
I just realized I’m a lot more empathetic to Sharks than most 😅
Which ones, land sharks like Bezos, or oceanic sharks?
4:52 That is a very _Australian_ attitude to have. Remember, folks, this is the place where a shark is a "guppy" and people who go _swimming_ are often referred to as "hors d'oeuvres." "Australia: land of sunshine and sharks." 👍
They need to do a Wally: WALL-E crossover. She's a star! Always smiling :)
Nemo was not the first to "Touch the butt!" It was Michelangelo.
I just watched his flight- that’s not bezos, he sent a lookalike! It’s a body double
Wally Funk and Oliver Daemen were like human shields for Jeff and Mark Bezos. At the very least, they kept millions from praying that the rocket would go up in a fireball.
I am an italian speaker, Stephen's accent has only stereotypical southern cadence but the words were pronounced correctly! Good Job 👌🏻👍🏻
Well, let’s just say it’s not the first time Bezos failed to actually take a woman into “outer space”, and only got it up a little ways… but then dramatically congratulated himself.
Bezos isn’t going to space. He’s going up real high then coming back down.
You mean like literally all the other astronauts?
Above 50 miles is space. They just are not staying in orbit.
He went 352.000 feet. The Kármán line is 330,000 feet, so yes, he went to space.
Bezos Rocket looks like a Big DILDO.🤣👍🇺🇲
@@peterdunlop2092 The Karman line is not the delineation of space.
'Interactionado' does have a ring to it.. 🤔
🤣😂🤣😂🖖💕😊
John Baptiste and the band are #1 !!!
BRB just gonna google "eggplant edges peach" real quick
I paused to Google it immediately 😇
What comes up?
@@truthseeker1934 nothing of import sadly.
I don't get it. If a person just went jogging into the woods known to have bears and was then attacked by a bear, we'd call that guy an idiot. But when a shark come says hello to a person swimming in known shark areas... somehow the shark's the bad guy??
"Humans"
Probably because sharks migrate and travel to hunt end up in places otherwise thought to be safe. Same thing for bears really. Though some people do gontrapsing into areas that are off limits due to bears. That's not what happens with most shark attacks though.
@@oxtheunlikelycontemplator2682 yeah, because we've limited the bears habitats by cutting back forests and created boundaries by actual fences and sometimes just a highway. We however can't do that in the sea. That's all free real estate. Also, the reasons sharks go exploring new territory is because their habitats have been depleted. So yeah, the Aussies are right about this.
@@oxtheunlikelycontemplator2682 Never judge a book by its cover
BIG Kevin Spacey vibes from the Jeff, lmao. Also, did he have botox done?!
The effort in articulation of that crazy intro to Meanwhile deserves an award!
I miss Evie
Beautiful smile always wear this on your face always
Makes you worried for Rhys McClenaghan's partner.
More like envious.
As an Australian, I can attest that we also try very hard to avoid having interactions with spiders, snakes and box jellyfish.
Now we all know the writer of that article knew exactly what he was typing when he said the eggplant at out the peach🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was that another version of "For the Damaged Coda" that they played aka Evil Morty's theme?
Nicely spotted
