    The spirit of antic fun that Stephen Colbert is spreading in advance of his Late Show premiere on Sept. 8 just got a little sharper. Colbert got wind of a raffle opening-night guest Jeb Bush is holding — send three dollars to Bush’s campaign and get a chance to win a ticket to the show — and the Late Show host decided to get in on the action.

    In a new video, Colbert cheerfully chides Bush for not telling anyone at the Late Show that he was using the Colbert program as a fund-raising strategy: “No one from Jeb’s campaign asked me if this was okay with me to raise money off my first show,” says Colbert. “Where’s my cut of that sweet three bucks, Governor, huh?”


    Stephen Colbert Smacks Jeb Bush For Fund-Raising Raffle


    The spirit of antic fun that Stephen Colbert is spreading in advance of his Late Show premiere on Sept. 8 just got a little sharper. Colbert got wind of a raffle opening-night guest Jeb Bush is holding — send three dollars to Bush’s campaign and get a chance to win a ticket to the show — and the Late Show host decided to get in on the action.

    In a new video, Colbert cheerfully chides Bush for not telling anyone at the Late Show that he was using the Colbert program as a fund-raising strategy: “No one from Jeb’s campaign asked me if this was okay with me to raise money off my first show,” says Colbert. “Where’s my cut of that sweet three bucks, Governor, huh?”


    Colbert then announces his own “Jeb Bush On The Stephen Colbert Late Show Raffle!” (exclamation point Colbert’s, mocking Bush’s own “Jeb!” campaign logo). Send three bucks to Colbert, and rather than put it in his own pocket, as Bush is doing, Colbert will donate it to Yellow Ribbon Fund that assists injured military personnel and their families.

    It’s great that Colbert and his staff are not just staying aware of what’s going on, but are using stunts like Bush’s to piggyback comedy stunts of their own off of it.

    The build-up to Colbert’s opening night just keeps getting more intriguing.

    The Late Show with Stephen Colbert premieres Sept. 8 at 11:35 p.m. on CBS.

    I can't see any way that going on the first show is going to better Jeb. It's probably going to be a lot of people watching that haven't started paying attention to the election yet and will see Colbert make a fool out of him, what is the strategy there?

    Jeb is soooooooooo boring. At least his brother isn't boring. He's dumb as a bag of rocks, but not boring.

    Did some Dubya moves and gestures and I gagged. Looks and sounds way to much like his dumb brother.

    I think he always comes across just fine.... assuming you don't care that he has no personality to speak of.

    I know, but Letterman went a lot harder than that on a lot of people. In retrospect I guess he did take a couple little shots.

    colbert can't be all upitty in his first few months. those advertisers are going to make or break him.
    letterman could get away with it because he was an institution. i mean, what were they gonna do, fire letterman?

    First off - any article that refers to a presidential candidate as "Hitlery" has very clearly lost all credibility.

    Second - if I make a Kickstarter campaign and I don't make it to the end, I'm significantly less likely to make my second campaign statistically speaking. This is no different. This so-called sudden about-face post-Bilderberg could very well be influenced by Bilderberg, but I think you're seriously diminishing the potential that maybe they, I don't know, have a concept of long-term strategy? But then again, I know that's not what makes a good president these days in the eyes of its citizens, so maybe I'm wrong.

    Third - we are all influencers, and we are all influenced, but if put in a room with recognizably successful humans who come with backgrounds of varied expertise - the only fools in the rooms are the ones who are adamant that they ought to walk out of the room uninfluenced.
