The show has begun incorporating a bit more of Stephen Colbert's fun-spirited comedy antics---similar to what he used to do on The Colbert Report. In addition, several live episodes have also helped to jazz the show up a little bit more. All of it, Stephen Colbert reports, has helped the show to just be more fun---both for himself and for viewers. He's come to the realization that his former cable persona is still a part of him, and that's ok, as well.

It is all me. Of course it's me. I thought of the character. It's my humor... If I do things that are like the old show, it was a good show.
