Roger is so amazing. I'll never forget seeing him and Davo during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. ESPN had this amazing outdoor set and in the middle of their nightly "wrap up" show they'd hand it over to these two lunatics, the Men in Blazers. I've followed them ever since, buying all their books, listening to their podcasts, and just relishing the unbridled joy that Rog and Davo bring. Colbert had no idea what he was in for with this guy, he is truly a treasure.

Roger just gushing beautiful poetic answers and Stephen is just like " So okay next question"

[frankcarter]

I had never heard of this guy before, but I really like him.
He is a genuinely likable person.
Cool

".. but we're both dead inside..."

British, yes.. go on.

Hitting John Oliver with that Liverpudlian asterisk sounds like the nuclear option, Stephen. Use it wisely!

I love this show, and I love Colbert, but I really wish sometimes that he would take a moment to acknowledge something important that a guest says before changing the subject or calling a break. Sometimes you need to give something a moment and let it land. You need to acknowledge it

I have to say a big and heartfelt THANK YOU for helping me and many others to remember to laugh. I'm 67 years old and I live in Baja Ca. Mx so I get to watch it earlier than the US which is my home country. I had to leave due to affordable rent I have a much better quality of life down here. With that said, your show your humor is so spot-on, relevant, and needed in scary times. So thank you again for your brilliance...

I know exactly what Roger is talking about, being from Toronto I never pass up an opportunity to remind Expo fans that, sure you won a pennant, but only because of the Baseball lockout. 🤣🤣🤣

All the Emmys in the world won't soothe that sting, John.

The last time Everton won a trophy was 2 years before Colbert was even on the Daily Show

[amberbanuelos]

I love that the Chicago Bears were a big part of his childhood and love for America, makes my Bear heart smile 😊

Everton.... better known to the Scouse crowd as "the annual free wins." #YNWA

[siemprerm]

Not really an asterisk when they won it with 8 games left for the season they also won ucl year before and Im a Madrid fan

[LuxLisbon]

Watch John Oliver on Men in Blazers . Super funny and you can see Rog taunt John about the asterisk

[aveinsaaty]

Love this guy - a great witty wordsmith with a humble heart 💚🍀

[MartynTSMITH]

Roger is the real deal. Keep being you mate.

[jasonfaulkner]

"Hart to Hart, The Love Boat, Miami Vice, the Chicago Bears, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Molly Ringwald, Beastie Boys, Tracy Chapman ..." wow Roger ... an emotionally jarring list ... in a good way I suppose. So, thanks.

[Katelyn]

I've listened to them before and I like their show, very enthusiastic. I like that Stephen had him on.

[jamespuffer]

Men in Blazers GFOP here! Great to see you Rog!

There’s no asterisk. We smashed the league that year. Whilst Everton haven’t won a trophy in 25 years
