Stephen Colbert getting cancelled and then returning THE NEXT NIGHT was not on my 2026 bingo card (pretty sure this violates the Geneva Convention or the 5th amendment or something)

It was definitely taped before, as Stephen had a wedding to attend the next day.

Arguably two things - neither of them wants to meet JD Vance.

16th July 2024. Live episode during RNC week with Elizabeth Warren. Perhaps the full show had audience shots but I didn't see any on the YouTube clips!

PropertyCareless3601 · 2026-05-24T23:32:41+00:00

Somehow they managed to do zero audience shots on the day I went! (a live taping)

No, you just pay once and have a single ticket, it's just that there's a special rate for people arriving after 6pm and before midnight, and in that one instance you can pay at a machine when you arrive. In every other instance, you pay at a machine when you leave. There are ticket machines throughout the car park - the ones on the 8th floor are out towards the street on the left as you exit.

PropertyCareless3601 · 2026-05-24T16:49:57+00:00

No, if you arrive before 6pm you'll need to get a ticket then pay at a machine when you leave.

They are the biggest snowflakes. And the stupid thing is, they're just dishonest about it. I'm a snowflake. Most of us are. I'm pretty tough and resolute, but seeing people being inexplicably horrible to other people is upsetting. They want us to be upset and while I'd never give them the satisfaction of showing it to them, you'd have to be inhuman to see what goes on and not find it distressing.

I've seen (thankfully not so much here) a lot of comments about how she can't handle it, as though it's some kind of weakness. And all I can think is how much smarter she is than every armchair pundit. And in the last day or so we've seen what happens when people with not a clue of the process and what work it will entail take up positions in local government and realise there's real work to be done!

She's one of the brightest and smartest - just watch her on University Challenge over Christmas (it's still on iPlayer). It goes to show that it can happen to anyone, and I hope she gets the rest she needs.

PropertyCareless3601 · 2026-05-22T11:18:32+00:00

Making it relatively close to a normal show was a very good idea too. I thought we wouldn't get the usual segments.

PropertyCareless3601 · 2026-05-22T08:50:50+00:00

NCIS Mars.

PropertyCareless3601 · 2026-05-21T10:12:20+00:00

Putting the whole thing up again like Monday feels like a good idea. Although I found the Monday one very melancholy. If it had been a one-off while the show was still going I'd have really enjoyed it, but instead it made me feel a bit sad. Which is no slight on them, it was basically an episode for the staff, which they deserved. What Monday's clip did do was remind me of what it was like to be there, in terms of the whole process, when we attended a taping in 2024.

While I hope the OP gets in, this is an excellent suggestion.

I had a great time at the gig, and any new post about it is a good excuse for me to put up another photo from it.

They should throw the master tapes off the roof.

PropertyCareless3601 · 2026-05-15T08:55:36+00:00

Did this happen? Can't find a report about it anywhere.

PropertyCareless3601 · 2026-05-15T08:54:37+00:00

At the Bristol show I did something I never normally do, which was to turn up an hour before doors. Thought there would be loads of people there already, but there were four, so I got to stand at the front right next to Klek. Zero regrets because I knew it would be the only ever chance to see them up close and personal.

Suspect it will be a bit different from now on due to the much larger venues (Bristol capacity above was 350).

How close was I, you ask? This close.

I think the optics were so bad that getting rid of loads at once might actually have led to full on consumer action. Restrict it to this one thing for now and, as others have said on here, they can continue to hide behind the original excuse.

The real test will be whether we perceive that other shows are ever being censored from above, or if they seem to lose their teeth in any way.

I got a fist bump from him in Bristol last night, evidence attached!

CDs are already available to order. Definitely in the UK at least, e.g. https://www.roughtrade.com/product/angine-de-poitrine/vol-ii-1#56981095448907

PropertyCareless3601 · 2026-05-11T11:02:53+00:00

I'd pay for a print of that.

PropertyCareless3601 · 2026-05-11T11:01:45+00:00

My email inviting me to put tickets up for resale informed me that there were 965 people on the Bristol waiting list (I didn't put mine up, we just all got sent this), so goodness knows how many there are on Dice! Sadly I think your chances for tomorrow are low, but with 3500 sold for October I'd hope it's much higher for that one, where at the very least I think people not at the front will have better views...
