As someone who listens to Pod Save America and watches Colbert, I was super excited for this interview. The audience even got to hear one of lovett's rants lol.

[redweather]

This was such a solid interview, especially for a live show

[jeffcorsiglia]

I'm going to look these guys up. Never heard of them but they sounded good. Thanks Colbert.

[jakemarsing]

These guys seem like straight shooters respected on both sides.

[unvergebeneid]

That invertebrate joke was underappreciated!

[angelburford]

Blue APRON IS.... (insert Lovett rant here) a better way to cook

[abhishekhbhati]

Damn, the guy in the middle can speak!

[markstyles]

Who was the guy in the middle? He spoke damn well. If these guys are/were speech writers for politicians, maybe they should take it to the next level and be the politicians we listen to speaking and debating. They have better delivery than many politicians.

Dude with the burgundy pants is my friggin Loved every passionate and true word he spoke.

[thatgeekdad]

Jon Lovett was on fire compared to Jon (other) and Tommy. Jon and Tommy were trying to stay middle and not rock the boat while Jon Lovett knew he was in most of America's homes and went for it. That is how you get people to tune into your podcast whether they agree or disagree with him.

[deadgamer]

Those guys seem cool. Never heard of them before tonight. Going to check them out now

[bananapeeler]

We got 3 winners there !!! Wonderful young generation.

[MultiOMFG]

It cracks me up that all throughout you see Lovett in action. You can feel it when you listen to the pods, but you don't get to see it(unless you're there, of course)-him just listening intently, thoughtfully forming his analysis of the discussion and context surrounding it and he's stewing...just simmering away until it hits a boil and then BAM! LOVETT EXPLODES!!! Jon Lovett: The Pressure Cooker of Common Sense. LOL

On a side note-I would LOVE to see them have Stephen as a guest on one of the Pods!! Just sitting down and discussing these things without Stephen having the pressure of being the host for a TV network and having to stay within a framework of time, etc.

I remember one of Obama's lines from his last SOTU- "I know cuz I won both of 'em!"

[StardogTheRed]

0:37 The 1000-mile stare on Lovett's face after answering "Yes" to "Was Trump president the last time we saw you guys?" 10/10

[geoffgreen]

Next time you have Pod Save America on, Stephen should join them for a game of "OK, Stop."

[peytononeil]

i dont know the podcast but this was a very awesome set of guests. Thank you Late Show!

[edc]

Go Lovett, go!!!

And Favreau is just as handsome as I thought he'd be ❤️

[denisewilson]

Australian who listens to tommy's pod and pod save America All the time. #45 is embarrassment and the US is falling off the side of the world.

[karriewilson]

Love! Jon Lovett, you are the best. These guys keep me sane.
