On a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, host Stephen Colbert couldn’t help but poke fun at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his choice of footwear. While cowboy boots may be a staple of Western fashion, Colbert argued that they may not be the most appropriate choice for a governor. He claimed that DeSantis looks more like a dork than a cowboy in his boots, and suggested that the governor may be using lifts or height-boosting insoles to add some extra inches to his stature.
Colbert humorously pointed out that DeSantis’ foot appears to be positioned too far back in the boot, causing his toes to curl up. Showing a zoomed-in picture of DeSantis giving a speech, Colbert quipped, “Governor, are you wearing lifts or are your toes just happy to see me?” He jokingly suggested that if DeSantis is not wearing lifts, he should invest in better boots, as cowboy boots already provide a sizeable height boost.
Switching gears, Colbert also took the opportunity to discuss former President Donald Trump‘s legal troubles. Trump is currently facing multiple federal and state criminal trials, as well as a state civil trial for business fraud. Colbert highlighted how Trump complained about the timing of these trials, suggesting that the justice system is working against his campaign. In a tongue-in-cheek manner, Colbert jokingly remarked, “Wait a second, did he just try to claim that he invented the USA?”
The article also mentioned the ongoing discovery phase of Trump’s classified document case, where some of the documents were deemed too classified for even the most secure government facility. Trump’s children will also be taking the stand in a civil trial, and Colbert humorously commented on Don Jr.’s jovial mood upon arriving at the courtroom.
Colbert added a touch of satire by mentioning a Supreme Court case involving Trump, where the justices are deliberating over whether a T-shirt maker can trademark the phrase “Trump Too Small.” He also highlighted President Joe Biden‘s recent executive order to oversee AI and emphasized Biden’s concern about the dangers of AI fraud. Biden cautioned that AI devices can generate impersonations so convincing that they can fool loved ones into sending money.
To prove his point, Colbert received a phone call during the show from someone claiming to be President Biden himself. The president humorously mentioned a Nigerian prince scam and asked for the digits on the back of Colbert’s Visa card. Although Colbert initially fell for the prank, he quickly realized it was a scam.
Wrapping up, Colbert excitedly announced that the evening’s guest would be Congressman Adam Kinzinger and the legendary Willie Nelson would be performing later in the show.
In true Colbert fashion, this segment of The Late Show provided an entertaining mix of humor and satirical commentary on current events, showcasing why it is a must-watch talk show for fans of lively late-night entertainment.
