Stephen Gets A Tap Dance Lesson

MacArthur Genius grant winner Michelle Dorrance helps Stephen fulfill a life-long dream of learning a tap routine.

The fact Stephen genuinely tapping and redo when he made a mistake, no tongue in cheek jokes, big smile after he finished the set like he accomplished something, is really refreshing to see on network television. Very Classy.

You're simply the best late night talk show host, Stephen. You're doing an incredible job! Keep up the great work.

[martinaee]

To every other talk show host: Pack it up. It's over.

I loved the Colbert Report, but I'm loving this show more. Its great to see that genuine shy smirky face finding a new stage presence.

Stephen is having a time of his life :p

[etjl]

Stephen is so incredibly sincere with his guests

[jonssyy]

No surprise Colbert has tap skills. He was a theatre major I thought.

When I'm kind of bored or just need something to pass the time or to make me sleep, I imagine myself being a guest on Stephen's show for whatever reason. I think I'm gonna try to do something big and special just so I can meet him!

The sign of the cross before trying a feat was just so typically, typically Catholic that I burst out laughing. Somehow I thought Colbert would've tackled this a lot more gracefully--having seen his other moves--but the newbie touch made this really thrilling!

[ArsenalEver]

He redefines late night televisions. The funniest and most talented late night host ever.

That was awesome! I wish I had taken tap lessons as a kid.

The fact that she's a MacArthur Genius grant winner got my gears spinning. I do hope Stephen has Lin-Manuel Miranda on at some point. I'd love to hear him talk about Hamilton, do an awesome rap, etc.

Aw I love that he was so excited about learning to tap and did such a good job :)

[LittleRed]

I loved how afterwards, he leaned over and told her that this was a lifelong dream come true.

This made me smile so much 🥰🥰💚 Go Stephen!!!

So The Late Show is Colbert's way to train his skills as an allround-entertainer? Works fine by me.

[tylerjohnson]

This is why I watch Colbert instead of anyone else

[otterzu]

Crushing on this man since his Strangers With Candy days he knows how to move that bod

[BlakieTT]

Colbert is like the Hugh Jackman of late night hosting. He can do everything! :D

Stephen, you are my hero!!! Great Job!!!
