I remember he used to be a genuinly funny guy. Always laughed at his jokes, his rethoric and his criticism of power. He and Jon Stewart really were a power-couple.
But every time I watch any episode of his newest show, I never laugh, and I don't even grin. His jokes are so cheap and unoriginal at this point that I cringe just seeing his face. I really miss the old Colbert.
Am I just delusional here or did he actually change?

No, he's always been an unfunny cuck. You just grew up.
Colbert was funny because he was parodying Bill O'Reilly, but it came off as almost serious, and therefore enjoyable.
He's now simply being himself, which is a bland milquetoast liberal, and there's nothing unique or engaging about that personality.
most likely new writers. i noticed a huge difference too.
He truly fucking sucks. Do you have to watch him online or do they play his show on television?
He was a good satirist, but made for a lousy pundit. Just because you're a good critic doesn't mean you can do the same shit as the people you criticise.
Maybe because he's trying to appeal to liberal Pokemon go playing degenerates.
I never liked him. Maybe you just had shit taste and finally grew up a bit.
Also a switch in writers likely made a huge differance.
In retrospect some of the shit he said could have only been funny to teenage me and is pretty cringy. All the same I saw him live when he went to Vancouver.
The GOPe lost the culture war so brutally that making fun of it now is like taking the piss out of a emaciated parkinsons patient
