What does everyone think of Colbert so far? I'm honestly a little surprised at his nervousness and inability to bounce off the guests in interviews. I thought that would be his strong point, but it looks like removing the overbearing jokiness of playing a character in interviews actually removed a lot of comfort for him.
I notice lots of places in interviews where he would totally dominate with an awesome response on the Colbert Report where he now responds with a pretty weak "oh yeah?" or "hahaha" and you can almost see the guest kind of thinking "what the hell, I'm used to Colbert lighting it up in interviews and bouncing off everything".
