Stephen Colbert's love of gaming culture scores points with his viewers

The late night host is an unashamed nerd with a fluent understanding of what is one of the pillars of popular culture - unlike rival and guest Jimmy Kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel, host of Jimmy Kimmel Live, will be a guest on tonight's episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. While the two hosts have very similar jobs, they could not be farther apart in terms of their awareness of the diversifying American media landscape.

This summer, Kimmel decided to pick an unnecessary, multi-episode fight with the video game community. The feud culminated in Kimmel having popular online gaming personalities Markiplier and MissesMae on his show in an attempt to mend fences - and stop the mean YouTube comments - but even that got condescending when Kimmel and his guests engaged in an awkward three-way hug that ended with Kimmel suggesting they should "try being around other humans every once in a while."
