Granuailynn @granuailynn.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Ah - my old stomping grounds😂 Love the humor of those in the Great Lakes region & yes, there are several local stations still on across the region, & this is an absolutely *hilarous* response to the CBSBS Kudos once again to Colbert, White, all those involved, & to Monroe, MI!🤣 1101
Getikt 🏴☠️🇪🇺🇳🇱 @van-lotje-getikt.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Love Genevive’s “No spitting” remark. The, “you might be a big shot but someone is going to have to clean that…” vibe was brilliant. 021

jaceandgus.bsky.social @jaceandgus.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I can't remember when I've laughed so hard. Every minute of this show was hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 030
joshhparker @joshhparker.bsky.social · 23/05/2026 “Only in Monroe” was in his scene with McCartney when powering down the Late Show Thursday night. I had to google it and forgot about his 2015 bit. 0362
beachydreams.bsky.social @beachydreams.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Hmmm a new Stephen Colbert hosted show on @pbs.org??? I might actually watch that.😉👍🏼 140
Adam Bonin @adambonin.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Ahem. Regular host Kaye Lani Rae Rafko was the 1988 Miss America, but explaining what that means to younger generations might prove challenging. 6802
P. Orin Zack "the POZ that refreshes" @gznork26.bsky.social · 23/05/2026So that's where that green dimensional warp dropped him. Did they also end up with the Ed Sullivan Theater blocking traffic on main Street? 040
Michelle.cat @michelle-cat.bsky.social · 23/05/2026He should do podcasts and videocasts with the advent of setrop boxes, the public dropping cable in large numbers and oligarchs in control of traditional networks it may be an opportunity for the long predicted decentralization of news 0101
orchidlover.bsky.social @orchidlover.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Long may he reign. Seeing him on "Only In Monroe" made me realize, he's not going away, which is more than can be said for CBS. 0542

Ken Parker @kenparkerlaw.bsky.social · 23/05/2026This is awesome on every level — funny and warm and delightful. But the highlight had to be Genevieve Bensen (of the Monroe Public Access Station) telling Stephen not to spit in the floor. 0261

John Ryan @johnryanwrites.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I hope this is the start of Colbert's absurdist phase, where he embraces his inner Letterman. 040
BobbyMax716 @bobbymax716.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Priceless. The genius and simplicity of Colbert. 020
Bryan Cursèd @chucklebot314.bsky.social · 23/05/2026The thing about Colbert is he is still a street-level theater-kid, no airs. 2925

Lisa @mamabear64.bsky.social · 23/05/2026We'll see he did a show in Monroe the day before he started the Late Show so, it only makes sense he did one when he left. 020
meemee13.bsky.social @meemee13.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I watched and will follow Colbert wherever he turns up. We need people like Colbert who stand up to criminals like Trump. 030

WgwWvf @jenwen2011.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Watched it, it was simply brilliant - he poked at CBS + broadcast at the same TV time slot as his old one ... even called Byron Allen at 11:35 to pitch his Monroe co-hosts .... tooooo funny! 👍😄😄😄🫣😘🫡 021

PETIT PROMESSE - Me/Moi @petitpromesse.bsky.social · 23/05/2026OMG! Just finished watching it. I'm in pain of too much laughing. It's better than the last Late Show. I hope he'll surprise us again like this. It's too funny. 020
Maya Steward @mayasteward.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Just because Colbert is off CBS doesn't mean he's going to stop being a comedian & go after Trump with his jokes. 020
Forbestonow @forbestonow.bsky.social · 24/05/2026It was funny even though it was 99.9% politics free (his response to Daniels mumbling with his mouth full probably counts as political.) 000

Formerly Lord Mike on Twitter, Baltic Whale Psychiatrist @lorddroid.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I didn't think public access channels were still a thing. I know my cable service no longer has them, at least not that I can find. They used to be mandatory as a way to give back to the public in return for their local monopoly access. 2140
Gerald Weinand @dirigoblue.bsky.social · 23/05/2026This is really funny. I grew up in Southfield and everything about this is - eh-hmm “pure Michigan” And @officialjackwhite.bsky.social - my father is Cass Tech grad - ‘52 I think. His brother too 020

C.J. Raven @raggededge.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I wonder if Colbert has a non-compete that he just demonstrated was worthless to CBS. He definitely showed he could deliver a late night number 1 talk show from a public access channel in Michigan. Incredible. 0100
SteveBikes @stevebikes.bsky.social · 23/05/2026He did a throwaway joke on Thursday about this and of course it was foreshadowing 1611
Judi Calow @rossgirl.bsky.social · 24/05/2026As some one who spent a whole career in access television this makes me so happy!
