In the latest episode of the hit talk show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, host Stephen Colbert spared no punches in his hilarious and sometimes controversial monologue. From political news to holiday traditions, Colbert covered a range of topics that kept his audience thoroughly entertained.
One of the standout moments of the show was Colbert’s take on the recent ruling by Colorado’s Supreme Court, which resulted in former President Trump being kicked off the ballot. Colbert wasted no time in poking fun at the situation, stating, “I already did my drunk and fire dance two nights ago when Colorado kicked Trump off the ballot.” With his trademark wit, Colbert also mentioned the origin of the Christmas ulog, drawing a connection to the bonfires celebrated during the Winter Solstice.
Speaking of politics, Colbert didn’t shy away from addressing the controversy surrounding the impeachment of Joe Biden. Colbert revealed that some Republicans are now threatening to take Biden off the ballot in states controlled by the GOP, a move that has certainly raised eyebrows. Colbert hilariously commented, “Yes, they’re going to kick him off the ballot for the same constitutionally sound reason they’re impeaching him.”
But the laughter didn’t stop there. Colbert took aim at various Republican figures, including notable mentions of Nikki Haley and Ronda Santis. While Haley has surged into second place behind Trump in Iowa, Colbert humorously highlighted her being “a full 50% behind Trump in national polls.” The host couldn’t resist comparing the Republican primary to kids pretending to drive in toy shopping carts, likening Chris Christie’s campaign to a child imitating their parent.
Other segments of the show focused on the ongoing legal troubles of Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City. Colbert amused the audience with the news that Giuliani has filed for bankruptcy, which led to hilarious speculations about him potentially selling his organs and even hawking unapproved supplements. Colbert joked, “Who doesn’t want to somehow get the health and beauty secrets of this man?”
As always, Colbert didn’t shy away from incorporating holiday-themed segments into the show. He discussed the trend of opting for artificial Christmas trees, jokingly lamenting that we’re not even saying “Merry tree” anymore. He also cheekily highlighted a recent study that found the risk of penile fractures rises during Christmas, with humorous references to Frank Sinatra‘s classic songs.
To conclude the show, Colbert mentioned the ever-popular tradition of Elf on the Shelf, revealing a hilarious spoof for adults called “Voyer in the Foyer.” The segment had the audience laughing as Colbert showed a mock commercial for this naughty version of the Elf on the Shelf, emphasizing its questionable origins and its predisposition for watching adults engage in mischievous activities.
Overall, this episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert delivered a blend of politics, holiday humor, and some unexpected surprises. Colbert’s quick wit and entertaining delivery kept the audience engaged throughout the entire show. With each passing episode, Colbert proves why his talk show remains a must-watch for comedy enthusiasts and political junkies alike.
