When I was a little girl, I used to tell God jokes when I prayed. I thought he needed it, because I heard how hard other people asked for him work.

Loved that little dig at Conan, makes me so happy that the late night hosts are all so friendly with each other.

They both might be old but Biden is smart enough not to call Chicago the convention host a horrible city.

My dear friend, the late Fr. Dave Mura, from the Rochester (NY) Diocese, was a clown and had a ministry called, "Fools for Christ's Sake." The message being when we smile, God smiles too. I'm glad our Pope recognizes the importance of humor for the human spirit. Thank you Stephen for representing US!

I believe that comedians helped save the lives of millions of us during these Trump tribulations, because if not for you we would have all gone crazy. 🤯

The Bible says in Proverbs 17:22 that laughter is the best medicine. Keep doing ministry, Stephen!! You're great at it!!

When we visited Italy in 2012, and stopped by a Catholic middle school in Colle di Val d'Elsa, they were literally rehearsing Sister Act. We stayed to see the production in the nearby theater. Fantastic!

Laughter is healing, literally. Thank you!

[mariehernandez]

I was thrilled for you to be invited to see Pope Francis. I love also that Whoopie has visited him before. It makes me feel like a part of me got to share in the honor.

I love when Colbert makes it a point to introduce/chat with the band & guest musicians. These are some of the best & most creative talents~Just look at where Jon Batiste ended up? 🎶🙂🏆🎼

[laurabartoletti]

Excellent, Trombone Shorty !!! 👏🎶 Also, a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet Pope Francis at the Vatican 🕊☮️

I got over Covid in one day simply by watching replays of the old Colbert Report online. Guaranteed non-stop laughing. Virus didn't know what hit it -- completely blown away -right out of my body. Laughter is the Best healer and long live Papa Francisco!

Stephen Colbert had an audience with the Pope and Jimmy Kimmel hosted Obama and Joe. God is good. God is great. Thank, God, for Stephen and Jimmy. Amen.

Forget about Milawaukee. Insulting the *_Swiss Guard_* must be the bravest thing Stephen has ever done on air.

[madinfl]

In my darkest days comedy has helped get me through.

[jalabi]

People who say that Stephen should have spoken to the Pope in Spanish since he's from Argentina, may have forgotten that Pope Francis is fluent in Italian (which is the official language of the Vatican City) and German, and is conversant in Latin (the official language of the Holy See), French, Portuguese, and English.

Trombone Shorty!! What a talent!! I discovered him on my Jon Batiste station, who I discovered thanks to Stephen Colbert!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[Cuidichmi]

The closed captions changed ‘keen eyed observers’ to ‘Canaanite observers’ 😂

[markcunneen]

Trumbone Shorty... completely awsome! Thanks' brothers!
