The Red Menace Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I watched the first three minutes and thought him rather an ass!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 He sure can be embarrassing, can't he? This was painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeCity Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I give Colbert props for singing a pretty decent harmony part to the Star Spangled Banner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Colbert also made some funny jazz-related jokes in a recent "Who's Not Honoring Me Now" segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md655321 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 While watching it the other night: Me: Wynton is the most famous "jazz musician" on earth. Music, but not jazz, inclined lady friend: He sure acts like it. Smart girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 My wife and I met Wynton backstage before an April, 1982 concert in Madison, Wisconsin, when I interviewed him for the Daily Cardinal (University of Wisconsin student newspaper). Her comment when she saw this Colbert show: "Boy, is he full of himself. And he's really become heavy. Now his head looks like a pumpkin."

AllenLowe Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 can't say much, but just interviewed him, and he seemed much thinner in person - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 As I watched Colbert, I thought that it would be nice if Wynton had more of a light touch, was more likeable and engaging on TV. Since he seems to get most of the very rare opportunities for a jazz artist to appear on TV in the U.S., if his personality was more like, say, Barack Obama's, ijust to pick out a random example, it might actually be positive for jazz.
