Would you let your 10 year old kid watch Colbert’s Late Show?

Yes. My now 12-year old has been watching Colbert (this version and his previous show) for years. We love it.

What concerns do you have about him watching?

His deformed ear bugs me. I can't stop looking at it. I can't even hear his words while that thing is in front of my eyes.

No because he’s vicious and so arrogant.

DS and I will watch various news channels and talk about how a story is covered in different ways.

When you are in entertainment you need to not distract with a shriveled monkey ear.

OP here. For the record, I am not the one who posted about the ear. My concern is about the sex stuff, jokes about Stormy Daniels, abusive priests, closeted homophobes. Obviously the jokes are news relevant, but I don’t want my kids learning about sex in a way that’s skewed and sarcastic and not really applicable to what their experience will/should be. Anyone else let their 10 yo watch?

I have watched him for years— watching him while I type this— and have never noticed a deformed ear. Which ear? I don’t see it.

It sticks out because he had an ear injury and a surgery to fix it which left him deaf. The surgery is what makes his ear stick out. His ears lack symmetry, it’s not shriveled or odd in any other way. PP is just being a jerk making fun of someone with a disability.

To the OP, yes, my kids both started watching Stephen Colbert and The Daily Show when they expressed an interest. One was younger than 10, the other was right around 10-11. The president says much worse things than Colbert says on his show.

No - because a ten year old can't tell what is real news and what is sarcasm.

Your ten year old should watch the news then. Or else you’re not giving him enough credit. Most 10yos I know can tell if it’s a joke.
