Laugh Track: Loud & Clear

The introduction to CBS’ “The Late Show” last night featured host Stephen Colbert taking questions from the audience, with one audience member asking Colbert if he had seen the fan at the Ryder Cup heckling European players and then coming onto the green and sinking a long putt. While discussing the shot, the fan who made the putt, David Johnson, started yelling from the audience, “Start the show!” Johnson then came on-stage to play mini-golf into a cutout of Donald Trump’s face (“The Late Show,” CBS, 10/3).

Snowboarder Travis Rice appeared on NBC’s “Last Call,” with host Carson Daly noting Rice “has been called one of the most influential snowboarders of the last 20 years.” Daly said Rice is currently starring in the film “The Fourth Phase,” which “follows his epic journey around the north Pacific.” Rice said, “You can jump out a window of a four-story building if there’s three feet of powder on the ground and land. It’s good. It’s essentially a down comforter that covers this brutal rock terrain.” Rice talked about one point in the film in which he gets “swept over a cliff in an avalanche.” Rice: “It’s a heavy part of the film but it’s a reality that comes with doing what we do” (“The Last Call,” NBC, 10/4).
