How could Colbert lose to Gutfeld in the ratings with an act like this?? pic.twitter.com/sZyDC3LvTn

Great question! Stephen Colbert definitely has something Greg Gutfeld doesn’t … abject shamelessness, maybe? That could be it.

In any case, this was difficult to watch.

Terrible as it was, they could have made it 100x better just by pronouncing it "vaccine-ah."

See? Even that would’ve been an improvement.

The thing that bothers me most is why is that little cartoon syringe jacking off the big syringe? Wtf is happening there? https://t.co/yEcGKw6xWj

OK, well now we can’t unsee that, either.

But back to Colbert.

At least Troy McClure was entertaining.

I wonder what it's like to lose your soul. Like, how do these people look at themselves in the mirror when they're all alone. Is it really the money?

I used to think he was really funny doing his shtick on the daily show and the Colbert Report.

You have to have had your senses so dulled to not see how SUPER weird this is.

I'm so so curious what @StephenAtHome understands himself to be doing at this point. Like what's his self conception of what it is he does? You go back and watch "Strangers With Candy" or the Carvey show and he's clearly a very funny guy.

*Used to be a funny guy. That sort of thing can fade over the years, particularly if you let yourself be consumed by politics and forget why you’re a comedian in the first place.

The saddest part is the poor bastard probably still thinks he’s a comedian.

Bingo.

Time for an intervention.

Where are his friends? Friends are supposed to stop you from doing this. Do they have one of his kids? A tape of some wrongdoing? @StephenAtHome blink twice if you need help.
