The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: An Exhaustive Cold List

[anikadicara]

As an obsessive talk show fan and inspired by the excellent Conan thread going on right now, here's everything I remember from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.  The *'s are the best ones, in my humble opinion.  Feel free to add if you think of others!  Colbert Report, Daily Show (Jon Stewart), Late Late Show (Craig Ferguson) lists coming soon!

 

January 14 2016: "Before we really get into tonight's show, there are a couple thing I need to get off my chest, aside from a fair amount of phlegm." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kt94MbzLd4

January 14 2016: "If you're like me, you taped your show earlier tonight and right now you're at the couch at home with a cocktail made of bourbon and Mucinex.  I call it the Cold Fashioned." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxQKYgw9G2k

February 18 2016 (Amanda Peet): "I have a really bad cough and I was like, 'he's going to make me laugh!'" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eE39o1x9zA

March 14 2016 "We're allowed to eat some animals, but not the kind of animals you keep as pets, and you're never allowed to eat humans, but you also can't keep them as pets!  What are you supposed to do with them?! Also, at this point I feel I should tell you, I am on a lot of cold medication." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVRf0qnHkbQ

*March 14 2016 "I caught some parts of some great shows this weekend.  I watched a bit of Mr. Robot, I have some foggy recollections of watching some little parts of Kimmy Schmidt.  My weekend was basically Netflix and chills." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Zu6CGJjrrQ

March 14 2016 "If I take a nap they don't pay me.  I'm just going to keep my eyes open, is that enough?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x056ioqqn8A

March 15 2016 "This is just where I like to be to be alone with my thoughts, you know?  Also I'm on a lot of cold medication so I might be hallucinating." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbySfGzno4U

March 15 2016 "I've been a little bit under the weather but I think I'm bouncing back, unless this is just a brief moment of clarity right before the end." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejvWEuMoNVw

March 15 2016 "You don't want [my cocktail], I promise you.  My cold would kill you." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU-Cl-PgoWw

*March 16 2016 "I am feeling better, and you can tell because I sound much, much worse." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afb-nWeKakg

*March 17 2016 "Excuse me, I'm a bit under the weather.  I'm so under the weather I can't say 'weather'". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AWywH4OxcE

December 1 2016 (Justin Long): "I thought about not shaking your hand but then I thought, what's the alternative?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chId0mj3yiA

May 15 2017 "I feel attacked.  The soup softened me up and then the knife went right in.  I'm emotionally fragile right now, I have a cold." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM-oJPiwn2s

I'M HAPPY THIS INSPIRED U and I feel less creepy now posting that, I had half a mind to delete it shsgshdjdj

this is so cute. I love hosts/interviewers/etc with colds bc like.... they have to perform and keep up energy 😩 and they have to talk a lot lmao

I love all talk shows but I'm obsessed with The Late Show in particular.  I make lists about it for everything (Late Show clips about Christmas, Late Show clips about Sarah Palin, Late Show clips where they interview audience members, Late Show clips that are best for people who've never seen the show), so I thought I'd put that skill to use!

I can't tell if he did a stifle thing or if this is just heavy confirmation bias on my side (probably the latter), but I like to pretend/believe he sneezed here at 2:07:
