Very entertaining stuff.
I can't believe that none of you watched this absolutely hilarious video.

It was pretty good.
The others were arguing about bike pumps. :=)

Fight-staging is choreography. Willis has obviously had plenty of practice, but the interviewer must have had to do quite a few run-throughs to make it look smooth.

No shit.
Steven Colbert knows a lot more than you think he does. He is the one who came up with the skit, ya friggin twit.
I saw several seconds of the annoying Microsoft ad.
Everybody: as soon as you can, bail out of video ads. Make them worthless.

And then what, they'll move to paid subscription services?
YouTube Red is already here. (How they figure that'll never get confused with abother color-tube, I don't know...) "Free*" video won't be here forever. Enjoy it while it lasts. (Or get Adblock and stop whining and accelerate the process, all at once...)

And then no one will watch.
Enjoy stupid ads that don't load properly and waste bandwidth? Nah.
Doesn't always work, though let it die.
k smooth.
I don't know Steve Colbert from a bar of soap, so I don't have any idea of what he knows. He hasn't made a habit of starring in dramatic action movies , and TV interviewers typically don't have stunt man training, and those th at might have wouldn't get much practice.

Bruce Willis apparently used a stunt double. Not sure about Stephen Colbert but probably also a stunt double:

I take it back. You're not a dork. You're an abject idiot.
I think that's the definition of "entertainment". If you want reality, honesty, and truth, popular media is not where you'll find these.
If you watch the fight scene in slow motion, you can see where the stunt doubles arrived, and where the real actors were present. This should work:
It's easy to tell because you won't see the stunt doubles faces clearly. Also, the sound is in sync with the furniture crashes, but the dubbed audience reaction is not quite right. I didn't see these the first time through, but did catch one anomaly at the end. Bruce Willis's double landed on the floor with his white shirt sticking out (3:40) followed by the real Bruce Willis standing up with his suit neatly buttoned and shirt tails in place (3:42).
The crash, at the end, over the coffee table looked real to me. That's intentional because we tend to remember best what was last seen in a movie or video. If the last scene of a sequence "feels" real, we assume that our suspicions about the previous scenes might be incorrect.
Drivel: For those that know what's happening to me, I survived the hospital stay and will be at home loafing for about a week.

I am sure he enjoys watching the ISIL execution videos.
He liked "Faces of Death" when it came out too.
Back when entertainment folks like us watched "Videodrome".
He still has it...?
Meaning, he can still stand aside as stunt men pretend to fight? Heck, I can do that.

The only acting you are good at is acting like you know electronics.
You constantly fail badly at acting like a mature adult, and expose your immature true self on a regular basis.
Watching scripted, edited fake fights by actors and stunt men on TV is a sign of maturity?
Watching TV is something mature adults do?
Hate to disillusion you, but Bruce Willis is an ACTOR. He PRETENDS to be a tough guy. All that blood is FAKE.
