I missed it actually. However, the episode will be added into the VOD section in a day or two and I'll be able to catch it then.
But Trump getting a warm reception from the audience doesn't surprise me. He's a fan favorite, seemingly bulletproof no matter what nonsense he spews, and even Republican voters who aren't planning to vote for him are still amused by his antics. Then there's the fact that Colbert's whole former show/fan base is after all a bit more right-leaning than the Jon Stewart camp was. That's not merely my opinion btw, in case anyon is inclined to disagree... it comes from Stewart & Colbert themselves. No doubt that fan base has followed him to the late show.
His new position (TLS) is likely going to be more politically neutral than The Report was I would think. But I'll still watch to see if he takes any patented wickedly satirical pot-shots at any of them, Trump especially.
