Rather awkward interview segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert when Casey Affleck shows up a tad under-dressed for Colbert’s taste.
A joke about the rumpled Affleck sets a tone for the entire interview.
At one point, Colbert says, “You really look like a street corner Jesus.” And that was a high point.
Affleck was promoting his new movie Triple 9 in theaters February 26th.
The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert offers his hilarious recap of the “first in the nation” presidential contest this past Monday in Iowa.

Stephen Colbert breaks down Tuesday night’s GOP debate to hilarious results.
He basically hits the few points that stuck in my mind; although, I do remember waking up Wednesday morning and wondering, “Was anything of importance said on that stage?”
From Raw Story:
He mocked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who angrily declared he would cut five federal agencies but repeated the Department of Commerce twice after he could name only four that should be eliminated.
“I’m with Sen. Cruz here,” Colbert joked. “I mean, two Departments of Commerce? That is wasteful.”
He also ripped Donald Trump’s plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants that was modeled after Dwight Eisenhower’s controversial “Operation Wetback.”
“Trump is right — Eisenhower deported over 1 million illegal immigrants back in the 1950s,” Colbert said. “And it must have worked, because Mexicans were never seen here again.”
Appearing on The Late Show last night, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton was asked if she would allow big banks to fail should the country face a similar crisis as happened in 2007.
Her answer? “Yes.”
“First of all, under Dodd-Frank, that is what will happen because we now have stress tests and I’m going to impose a risk fee on the big bank if they engage in risky behavior,” she elaborated. “But they have to know, their shareholders have to know that yes, they will fail. And if they’re too big to fail then under my plan and others that have been proposed, they may have to be broken up.”
“Because if you can’t manage it, it’s more likely to fail,” she said.
I should also make note of the fact that Hillary consistently includes LGBT rights in her stump speeches and interviews. What a world of difference in politics in only a few years.
Watch a clip from the appearance below.
Stephen Colbert of The Late Show took time to take the anti-gay (and erroneously named) One Million Moms to task for their public opposition of Campbell Soups new LGBT-friendly ad featuring two gay dads.
Chatting with Stephen Colbert last night on The Late Show, First Lady Michelle Obama listed some of the things she’s looking forward to after leaving the White House like opening her windows or driving herself to Target.
Ah, it’s the little things in life, right?
I think she’s charming.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert went after the still-lingering crazies who think they will turn back the clock on marriage equality last night.
“Folks, gay marriage is still a controversial issue in this country, despite the fact that it’s not…”
“I think everyone should love whoever they want.
“So, I was miffed when Kentucky County Clerk and forehead magnate Kim Davis refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. But I also felt bad for her when that judge sent her to jail and even worse when she was sentenced to send an afternoon with Mike Huckabee. It’s cruel and unusual,” he joked.
With that in mind, Colbert introduced his own line of “all-inclusive wedding cake toppers.”
