"I take my woo back"

@@MyNameIsBucket I personally think it's refreshing as fuck for a talkshow host to talk about something they're genuinely into with their guest (who's also into said thing)

Haha so true, my reaction was the same! Are they really going to talk about this? Ok volume up! full focus on the edge of my chair LETS GOOOO!!! =D

Imagine talking about something other than politics... the crowd was speechless

Lol, this is brilliant!

No he is not, he is a religious bigot.

He’s fun, smart, civilised and caustic. He plays D&D and knows Lovecraft. He’s a great host and a brilliant conedin and yes is religious too and guess what? Youre a trivial bore

@@KristerAndersson-nc8zo religious bigot playing dnd? yeah right

Somehow I also doubt that since they Think it is devilworship. Furthermore he threatened Ricky Gervais with hell when he was on his show.

Joe has been rolling natty 20s in life for a while now. Looks like that and married to Sofia Vergara, what is that if not a 20!

My thoughts exactly

I was like bruh wtf no cheers

As much as I love this comment, I’m not gonna like, because your comment is the mark of the beast 🤘

I don't mean to be a c@nt but "dice" is plural.

Definitely was a bard.

Why doesn't this have more likes. wth

I blame Donkey from the Shrek movies

@@Issblodh Well he is a bard basically. -Musically talented -Travels around with an orge barbarian companion -Fucked the Dragon

Of course it was a bard, " I roll to seduce it...nat 20!"

100% of thanks to critical role, I understood everything!

High time for something for Nerds :)

90% of everyone watching this didn’t understand a fricking thing, including me, but it was still fun to watch :D

Finally....Vindication!! :D

There all middle age women that’s why 😂😂

he also....cannon...has the hand of Vecna and it's powers. He rolled and won and the power is his. I bet he's going to be a boss in the Mighty Nein season.

You can hear Wheaton cry out to the injustice of it.

Hohoho this guy thinks it's live

@@gammelhund lol right and they even do a full rehearsal of what they're gonna say before they record, much like a wedding

Now that's good television!

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

You mean what he was trained to say to sound relatable? :)

GruppeSechs Nah we was a guest on this twitch show called critical role and he played that character, which was a leveled up version of a character he played in his home games

@@geraldofbolivia3968 Yeah, I went and looked it up later, haha

@@Lrbearclaw I haven't gotten to Arkhan in critical role yet, but i'm pretty sure his backstory gives justification for his worship of Tiamat.

@@suelamphere8040 Well damn Sue, just damn lmao

Take note, Stephen was playing back in college, which for him would've been early 80's. Which means pre-2nd ed, which means fucking hit tables.

@@romxxii In the Red Nose Day session he played with Matt Mercer he said he bought the Player's Handbook when it fucking released, so that's a true nerd right there. Today we only hear legends of these times and the Satanic Panic.

The audience is going, "What a bunch of nerds."

@@celebrim1 Ugh, "do another trump joke and validate my worldview some more Steeephen, d&d reinforces negative heteronormative stereotypesss and is toxic, problematic even"

It was purely for the paying DnD customer. He wasn't there plugging a new movie, show, or book; he was there to sell his DnD clothing line. And together they did an awesome job of it, too!

Great interview.

Stephen did one with Anderson Cooper that went similarly.

This is my absolute favorite segment, apart from when Stephen did the pre-show drop-mic on Middle Earth knowledge.

@@claytonmyers9739 Yeah but Anderson Cooper kinda sucks.

Which is hilarious because Joe is such a macho man.

And... Was also once voted amongst the 50 sexier **women** of America

I remember that photo. That woman looked exactly like how he would had he been a woman all along. The resemblance was truly uncanny!

By a collection of women that went on to be the 2016 and 2020 democratic voting base. Good judges of character there I tell you.

I want this on a T-shirt.

No one is nerdier than the oathbringer paladin who chopped off his own arm so steal the hand of Veccna... live.... as a guest in the most popular DnD production ever released... and got away with it.

Stole the freaking hand of vecna will put you there

HE IS?!

@@Dan-qy6zv He appears in the adventure modul Descent into Avernus.

@@arein423 damn. did not know that

Sooo. Does that mean critical role is just canon in D&D lore too?

It hurts that not even one person in that audience stood up, slapped their hands to their cheeks, and yelled, “OH SHIT!”

@@avivacrichton6922 They could've and it just gets edited out. Shows with audiences tend to do that. But I doubt anyone did anyway.

Candy Taco Moustache Cat Crit fail on perception

To be fair, they can't actually see that he rolled a 20.

@@Jackaroo. Colbert literally says it the moment it happens and the audience still doesn't even react straightaway to him saying "Twenty...damn!". So even after they did know, they still took their time to react.

@@andrewsparkes8829 Because it wasn't a proven crit roll. not only that but who really cares. They celebrated because they knew it was a big deal for those actors, but to the average person, it is not a big deal. The fact that I needed to explain this to you is the exact reason why people like you got alienated by the average person.

@@Kugrox Um...you're agreeing with me, dude... The whole point is the audience only started reacting after they had processed that Joe/Stephen were reacting excitedly to it themselves, rather than to the actual announcement of it being a 20. So yeah, I didn't need anything explaining: You just restated my own comment in different words. But congratulations on your ego of thinking your own comment was more necessary than it was.

ReWrite Matt Mercer as in Hit voice actor?

@@stevangonzalez5908 Yes, he's the DM for a group of fellow voice actors. They stream every thursday at 7pm on twitch and youtube. You should really check it out, it's amazing.

Beware, though, it is a deep deep rabbit hole, friend.

Those 500+ hours have been the best of my life.

Is it thursday yet?

I mean Paladins were hard-locked LG until 3.5e. Shifting alignments would break the Paladin Oath as Joe did, but until you regained your god's favor or jumped into an anti-paladin Prestige Class you were basically classless.

They flirted with some others (not just evils, some for neutrals too though they were in Dragon if I recall).

@@ghandimauler they did, all 8 alignments got a paladin class in first ed, but the rules were extremely hard to track down. The Lawful evil one was an assasin iirc called an arikian (spelling is probably wrong). I had a photocopy of the rules a very long time ago, but I cannot recall where or how I got them

Found them, they are in issue 106 of dragon magazine, A plethora of paladins for 1st ed D&D

He owns the company

In fairness colbert comes from a time before death saves were a thing in d&d

@@lowleypeasentmr.l8836 I’m pretty sure that part was scripted for the marketing. I’m pretty convinced that around 95% of the conversation went off script tough XD

maxim menage darn, I usually don’t do that. Thx for the catch

Hunter 'Man Of' Steele d&d is magical like that lol

*Joe Manganiello His name is Joe Manganiello not Sophia Vergara's husband. Literally is in the title of the video and description. Now don't get me wrong I have no idea who he is, where as I do know who Sophia Vergara is but still imo a bit disrespectful to call him someone's husband instead of by his actual name.

@@LC_JSE who?

@@LC_JSE Except that that is exactly how women are referred to in so many parts of life. It's certainly not going to hurt Joe being referred to as Sofia Vergara's husband, right? ;-)

@@ChrisColeChicago so because it's disrespectful to women, that must mean men deserve it? Shitty logic my guy. It's disrespectful regardless of who it's done to. Yes, it shouldn't be done to women and we should be bringing attention to it, but not by doing it to other people

@@stormrider7235 It was for comedic padding. The longer the sentence and more unorthodox it is the farther you can throw someone when you pull the rug under them with a punchline. Or maybe it's just that old school way of being surprised for your friends where you refer to them by other titles other than their name. "You kissed her? My classmate just fucking GRADUATED." I don't know bruv

@@paulgauthier7033 I miss Craig T_T

Fuuuuuck I miss Craig too. But not what I came here to say…Stephen is like this when he talks about Tolkien or Sondheim as well

After Arkhan attaches the hand of vecna Vox machina: you're our friend, we don't want to fight you! Arkhan: I wouldn't want to fight me neither

Holy shit I did not know that was him

He looks a little too big to play Parker..

I think Mercer refers to himself as a Dungeon Master (DM) instead of Game Master but yeah.

That was magic when him and Stephen solo... you can just see the amazement and joy in Stephen's eyes the entire time. I really hope they can bring him back for more one shots or as a guest on Critical Role.

I had heard of, but never seen anyone play D&D before watching that red nose game. Because of that 1 hour one shot I now consider myself a Critter and I play in two campaigns...what a life changing UKposts video.

@@joelg598 Matt Mercer is magical, but the majesty of Critical Role is as much the excellent players as it is the DM, and just the friendship that shines through, that tells you what is possible when you play this game.

@@Saldio I really love CR, but I wouldn't call them excellent players. Video after Video I get so see that they only know half of their character skills. They were still in their 40's or 50's episode of the second campaign when asking "what does that do" about skills that were used dozen of times before, like 'Bless of the trickster' or 'Bless' They always forget to add some of their feats when dealing damage. Sam still asks in a 70's episode after having advantage on an attack, if he get's his sneak attack. And that's a core feature of his class.... I get that they only play once a week, and it's easier for me to recall their skills as I'm watching them more than once a week to get up to the current episode, but still, there things they really should know by now. (And I myself only played like 3-4 times and DMed 1 4h game, so I don't have the biggest knowledge of DnD) But what they are, are excellent actors and they play their roles really well, 98% of the time, which is REALLY good. But rule- and skill-wise, they lack a lot.

I bet he thinks the same thing whenever he may have the chance to bring of LotR

When Timothy Chalamet came on, he basically redirected the entire interview to talk about Dune, which no one is even promoting yet and doesn't come out until next year.

You know mostly everything you see on tv is scripted right? He has a writers room behind him and his guests are given talking points and keywords.

To be honest I don't think, that he would think Sweet... I think he would think: FINALLY!!!

@@ThePeacePlant 20+ year dnd player chiming in here. It's nerdy as all hell, but who cares. Doesn't change that you're a man/woman/etc that you play dnd, but it does make a you a nerd, but again there isn't anything wrong with that. News flash, there was never anything wrong with being a nerd ever, they were just convenient scapegoats for pop culture to make fun of.

There's also the one where James Franco tried to out-nerd Stephen and hilariously failed.

The even better part is that as of now, Matt Mercer has DM'd for Stephen, Joe and Vin Diesel, and all three games are recorded on UKposts for posterity.

To be fair to Vin, outside of that one shot he did with CritRole to promote his shitty fantasy movie, I think he hasn't really played since he was a kid. In fact I'm surprised he managed to get in touch with Matt Mercer and company to do that one-shot, since Vin seems more like the type to hang out with Tyrese than he is to hang out with Big Show or Taran Killam, let alone a bunch of nerdy voice actors who stream themselves playing Dungeons and Dragons.

@@romxxii You do know Vin Diesel did the Foreword for DND's 30th anniversary, right? He had a campaign running between him, COlm Feore, Karl Urban, and Judy Dench during the filming of Chronicles of Riddick. Dench attributes her playing D&D with her grandkids to Diesel teaching her lol

@@EonofAeon no, I didn't know that. The one time I've seen him play D&D as an adult was during the Geek and Sundry special to promote his movie based on his D&D character.

well, he doesn't have to play with famous people

Let's make it happen, critters assemble!

I can't wait to hear the words "Ok Stephen, how do you wanna do this?".

Matt.

Yes!!! Make it happen! Him and Mark Hamill

This video is already showcasing Travis Willingham being interviewed by Colbert so we're already there, such a shame he doesn't have longer hair more often.

We are not worthy

Edric Chan Halfing Bard or we riot

I dunno...have you seen the pic of him as the paladin with the flaming sword?

That would be SO sick to watch all of these high-top hollywood actors play. I would watch the stream haha

You mean your inner nerd. Don't mix up geeks and nerds.

Drive Fast I think this interview was pretty geek and sundry

D&D is for geeks and nerds, astrophysics is for nerds only.

Yeeesss, we were all in a satanic cult! And this was before video games!

Hahaha yeah. as a gamer since i was like 6 i love this interview. Mostly because the audience is just looking around wondering how they got that chandelier up, waiting for the "nerd" talk to end.

They just need to change the Oneshot at Joes House into a Celebrity D&D, with Stephen Colbert, Terry Crews who is now also into it, Big Show, Deborah Ann Woll, Joe of course and Matt Mercer as DM..

Or Critical Role... please

I really need him in Campaign two! Hes such a nerd!

Oh god no please

Please no... celbriD&D is terrible. I rather see Cobert as a reoccurring guest on Critical Role.

Gabriel Pino you should watch critical role on UKposts.

@@Awesome_Atlantean ill check it out!

@@andrew1983 If the GoT writers wrote a D&D campaign it would be amazing for the first half, then slowly descend into a complete shit show.

Not just Hollywood actors but WWE Legend Big Show is involved in that D&D crew.

@Charlie Extra: Joe HAS starred on critical role. He performed an act so huge he possibly situated his character as a future villain of the world.

oh he did?! cool but I haven't seen that one. thanks.

MRTN13 like he said, you don't come into his house and just drop Tiamat lol

Without Laura and Travis thouh? give them a year to come back then do it XD

Critters unite!

Rises both hands with 9 finger out... :P

Did they not get found on the live show?

It doesn’t quite mean that they will be back since Matt can RP them however it is always good to hope for the best.

The way Manganiello leans back and gives a look when Colbert brings up Bahamut is priceless

@@rudewalrus5636 he leaned back to make room for the massive chub brewing in his pants.

And yet again you can easily see Colbert reading and trying to memorise dnd lore before the interview

@@sanjin8867 You can’t make a nerd lean back by spitting non-sense. You can’t keep up a discussion about DnD with a nerd by faking it. You should try understanding the situation and read body movements sometimes.

This was puntastic.

bah. paladins that break their oaths. naah you sit in that oath and you weasle your way around it finding every single loop hole.

Killaim what a paladin! 😆

Oathbreaker paladins used to be called Blackguards back in 3e ... something happen in 5e? I'm still playing 4e?

Don't give up hope, you will get there.

You're in luck! Joe is currently 44 (in 2020).

I'm curious as to why your handle isn't "Commodore64life"

no kiddin'. the man is married to Sofia Vergara and he plays D&D in his basement in LA with celebrities in the show business whenever he wants. He's a frickin' legend. he's my hero.

Same, but I’m 48. Also, I really want to like your comment but it currently sits at 666 likes (for a comment on a video about D&D) and it just seems wrong to mess with that.

Watch Critical Role on UKposts. You might be surprised 😉

Lee GaryB go on UKposts and search critical role you're welcome

Oh it's your comment that Joe quoted! I just came to the comment section looking for you. 😄

Get thee to a PHB! :)

plus 15k on their “simulcast” on youtube !

This will NEVER happen.

Would love to see this happen. BUT he films on Thursdays so it would have to be done during a hiatus.

I want to know more about Joe's game, if they considered the time in Exandria to be canon and if so, what is he doing with the hand of Vecna?

30K on Twitch, and that's not counting UKposts, Alpha, and those that don't watch it live / are catching up.

Are you kidding? The 80s me would never have believed this (hell, members of my family TO THIS DAY STILL think "Dungeons and Dragons" is an instrument of Satan himself! 9_9).

Amen-Ra brother, were on the same boat

I started playing when I got to uni (2013) but people in my area still thought DnD was for weird nerds. I took it a step further with LARP (2017) and my parents legit think I'm worshipping Satan.

Tangeena Islam: Not quite the same thing, but I'm from the Deep South, U.S.A., and Southern Baptists believe so much stuff is connected to Satan (good thing that, unlike Manganiello, I never got into Hard Rock or Metal music; they would have dragged me into the church for an 'anointing' ^_^)

Chup Smith: If it was me, I think it'd be worth it to do a performance piece (making sure a friend got it all on tape), where I incited them to anoint me, then started screaming in my best demon voice, "MORE HOLY WATER, MY ASS ISN'T CLEAN ENOUGH!"

Same lol.

Me too lol

Why hide it?

I would get a passport at this instant moment and leave my life behind for at least a month just to play with them.. lol

They can even get ashley in all the episodes no way will they land stephen.

@@bakeryclerk7434 I think pelon's only talking about Steven guest starring, not about him becoming a regular player... the latter is impossible of course, but the former... who knows? Maybe when the Late Show is on hiatus...

Agreed, tell Marisha to make it happen

linkadorf The Last Witch Hunter

Yeah, that D&Diesel video kinda proves Joe right though. Vin seemed like he was kinda lost the whole time. Especially for an actor, he looked like a fish out of water. He reminds me of the guy that LOVES Lord of the Rings, but calls Gandalf "Ganondorf".

@@PorkYoSelf *shivers* Just the thought of someone comparing Gandalf and Ganondorf hurts my soul, I'm a casual Legend of Zelda fan but not a casual Lotr fan. so ouch

YES YES YES

@@jessib3922 he's too busy

Hopefully, with the kickstarters success, he'll be involved in the production of the animated series. The cast has declared their interest in his participation

He already did, he even made the greatest plot twist on the series finale

Wasn't he on critical role ?!

CR represent!!

Doesn't need to be on critical role to get 20s

It's just buisness.

I cut of my own hand, I heal my self, I cast Teleport, "Sorry its just Businesses".

hi fellow critters!!

Stephen is definitely on the path, but I don't think a guest appearance on CR would have made logisitical sense at this point. The Emmys are on a Monday night, when Stephen would be visiting before likely returning on a morning flight since he has his nightly show to host. Rescheduling the entire cast and crew for CR to be able to play on Monday would have been a logisitical nightmare if it was even possible at that point (since all the players, Matt, and the crew have other duties through their days and likely intentionally leave their Friday mornings somewhat lighter due to their typical late Thursdays). I hold out hope that we will see his guest appearance someday, but this trip was just too spur of the moment to work out.

If they ever have Stephen for a game, it will most likely be a pre-recorded one-shot, CelebriD&D style.

Because death saves weren't around during Colbert's time....

I mean it's all just to set up the conversation, they both know they'll be talking about it beforehand

Most likely the result of this segment I suspect. Although... he did say a lot of writers play at his house, so maybe it was going to happen one way or another.

Brave of him, with Wheaton’s dice curse

@@ragewalrus6116 i thought the folks at crit role broke the curse by breaking the dice??

Maybe for their dice he touched 😂

I was thinking about that episode during almost this whole segment.

not going to get away with that on CBS without some money put ahead, especially with it being new media

That's why they're distancing themselves from the brand entirely and doing their own thing on a separate channel soon. Because honestly G&S is pretty bleh in all honesty.....

i have a feeling it was due to some regulation/ad technicality of some sort. i wouldn't be surprised if joe mentioned CR to him off-camera.

WAIT. It happened????

IT HAPPENED!!!!! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/a2ZmbHlpsGp9zXU.html

funny story i read about the Vecna artifacts. 2 groups playing against each other in two different sessions where the two dm's would then talk between each other when ever what they did was something where the two parties did not meet. 1 party decided to try and fool the other party by luring them too a dungeon that would have the Head of Vecna (not the real head ofc) so they build a dungeon and put A head in the final room. the other party get there and actually fail to breech the dungeon - solidifying that "this has to be the right place" so they try again later, now the other party has kinda forgotten about it not doing much. suddenly they try again and this time they break through and get to the head. (which had been enchanted to appear as a artifact) now. they first argue ALOT over who gets to get the head. so finally one guy manages to break the stalemate and he gets his head chopped off and they then try to put the head on him. nothing happens. they then get into a argument over . wait how long can you wait before you need to put the head on. and they were worried they messed it up they now repeated the Who gets to get the head which ended in a fight breaking out which the necromancer of the group managed to be the sole man standing. he then got two of his undead to perfectly work together to quickly chop his head of and then put the other head on him instantly so once he did that. the dm just broke down in laughter (having had a stone cold poker face and not leading anything on about this at all)

JANGOUNCHAINED?! CREATOR OF THE LEGENDS OF KRYS?!

Killaim: Always thumbs up for the legendary saga of the Head of Vecna!

The same!

Vecna lives!

Cmon he is gonna be a bard!

OMG yes a Bard

This needs more support. STAT.

Perhaps an Aaarocokra Oath of the Crown Paladin.

This. A million times. Even more so, given that Matt and Marisha both have previously stated that Steven would be one of their absolute favourite guests on the show. Someone needs to make this happen somehow (I'm looking at you, Twitter brigade!)

Giby86 his schedule is absolutely brutal. Having your own talk show and being in new york is tough to arrange. But MAYBE, for the emmys he can pop into CR as well! EEEEAAAKKK

Exactly! I mean, I'm not saying next week, I'm saying next year, just make it happen! Failing that, why don't we just get Matt Mercer on The Late Show? Colbert has interviewed weirder, more unexpected people.

You should try some Crit Role. All the cool kids are doing it

I mean do you have an interest in it?

Just a little warning, it's stronger than most drugs...

Once you start you can't stop. Unless you somehow lose your DM and dungeoneers, and that gets hella depressing.

You mean like Critical Role?

There is. I think they broadcast their games.

I wished that he'd live stream his games like Matt "The God" Mercer

I would want to be there when Vin Diesel walks into his basement yelling, "I heard you was talking shit," because Joe questioned his nerd cred on national TV.
