Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, the #1 show in late night, where he talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology and more. Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and “THE LATE SHOW band,” the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.
Liam omits the most common mispronunciation of Irish surnames,: the ones that begin with Mc. Most non-Irish people often mispronounce the Mc as "mick", whereas every true Irish person knows that the only correct pronunciation is "mack".
He had to say all that and you didn’t give the man a Guinness?!
Clearly Liam Neeson was a setup. Any true Irishman knows that you pour Guiness over your Lucky Charms before eating them for breakfast. Or Baileys for the gals
So far, Paul Rudd has been able to pronounce Barry Keoghan’s name correctly
That was great! But Ice T still did the best one!!
What’s Liam Nissan up to these days??
Stop Anti-Irish HATE!!!
Liam Neeson on negative stereotypes…🤣🤣🤣
Oh how quick we are to forget…
What about your harmful stereotypes about old people and whites?
I don’t like Colbert is because he has an opinion about too many things. And also takes things very seriously. It’s like comedy, but frustrated comedy.
A late night show host should be impartial and when asked, have a staple of mock answers just like Johnny Carson did
Say my name, say my name (correctly)!
"i want every available plane on this ship in the air. Now." 🙂
Saying Seamus instead of Jim was cute stephen
"It’s pronounced Killian Murphy not silly man…"
Me: Omg I’ve been saying his name wrong the entire time. I thought it was pronounced like Silli-an.
O.o
What about the stereotype of an Irish guy walking around new york city looking for people of colour
to attack and kill ? I guess he did not dispel that stereo type.
Great, so now I need to always have a box of Trix *and* Lucky Charms just in case I have a chance run-in with Liam Neeson…
We know him from his butt in The Bridgertons.
What a great sport. A true Irishman. Makes me proud of my Irish heritage, as well.
I’m Irish and it’s wonderful to see Liam just getting better with age!! Love him ❤️
theres no pint! you dare call yourself an irishman?! lol
I’m picking up the dog and bone aka phone.
Yo camera director, if Steven is talking to Lewis, then Lewis needs a camera shot, or it just looks ridiculous, like he’s talking to nobody. No to mention it’s disrespectful not to help your host carry on a conversation with his band, if Steven is speaking to the band you should be shooting the band! Nuff said!
Still not as funny as him having full-blown AIDS.
Love it!
Liam is not even a real name. Its just William that some irish dude slurred around while drunk and accidentally lopped off the front end Wil . So pipe down there, Willy.
wow!! seriously?? mr. colbert?? i am so shocked! i always thought of you as my favourite substitue canadian uncle. but to share air time with a violent racist!!!! 💔🖤 why would you let that bum on your show?? you worked long and hard to be where you are. that ding-dong was stupid enough to throw it all away by revealing his genuinely racist feelings. how do you make room for that in your world? i have to re-think my love for your show. your guest didn’t mind losing me as a fan (thus the hubris of openly discussing it & fully expecting to continue as a millionaire entertainer). but what are you doing here, mr colbert?? you are breaking my heart. that’s what you are doing. please enjoy your racist. selective outrage, indeed. 🖤
I hope Liam got made a LOT of money for that.
3:07 hahaha glad someone said it
Do the Irish use child labor like the manufacturer of lucky charms or is it just a coincidence?
Lyle Nelson is such a great sport for doing this, amazingly talented actor.
What Liam SHOULD have said at the end was, "If you dumb Americans don’t pronounce our names properly, I will hunt you down, I will find you, and I will kill you!" 😱🤪
I tell you what’s not a stereotype if you’re an Irish woman and you drink alcohol regularly by the time you’re in your late twenties you’re going to look like complete crap. That’s a guarantee
The Irish have a very particular set of skills.
Wait so its Kel-e-am Murphy. God don’t I feel like a joke ass now. I’ve been calling him Sell-Ian Murphy. I swear I haven’t been this embarrassed since since I screwed up translating Arnold Schwarzenegger last name to group of my sadly former African American friends. For the record, I got the first part right.
"All this violence, looting, destruction of property. Is this really what we think of when we think of the Irish?"

That wasn’t Ralph Fiennes?
Melanin. Responsible for pigment. Without collagen, parts of your body fall off
Liam Neeson propagated degrading stereotypes about Filipina women years ago
Ralph Fiennes?!? Schindler and Amon Goeth back together
🤣🤣🤣 Ah, so good.
Kenneth Branaghanamanaghergehgen man🤣😂
Stephen you DO make collagen. Melanin maybe not so much. 😄
3:18 Another thing you could do is listen to some U2.
One thing he forgot about is how a lot of Irish last names start with O’, even though he mentioned a name with that.
now I want Liam Neeson to kill a man with a potato spoon in his next action movie
N.F.
Ralph Feines looking old these days.
Melanin. Not collagen.
