In a recent episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” Stephen Colbert entertained his audience with his signature humor and wit. The talk show host started off by discussing the latest poll results, revealing that Kamala Harris had opened up a 31-point lead over Donald Trump among young voters, according to a new Harvard youth poll. The audience erupted in applause as Colbert praised the young women who were leading the charge in favor of Harris, with a 70% to 23% lead over Trump. Colbert couldn’t help but make a playful jab at Matt Gaetz, joking that Harris was trying to break his record by visiting 150 college campuses.
Shifting gears, Colbert informed the audience that the Vice Presidential candidates, Dan Vance and Tim Walz, were busy preparing for their upcoming debate on CBS. With humor, Colbert described Vance’s rehearsals, where Walz was being played by a Minnesota representative who reminded him of their high school reunion. Colbert also couldn’t resist poking fun at Vance’s lack of charisma, which made it difficult for Pete Buttigieg to get into character. On the other hand, President Trump, who Colbert jokingly referred to as never losing sight of his first love – selling garbage – announced he was promoting silver Trump coins with his face on them. Colbert cheekily quipped, “What a deal, honey!,” referring to the questionable value of these coins.
The talk show host then shifted gears again, acknowledging a tweet from Trump in which he called Colbert a “complete and total loser.” Colbert expressed his gratitude that Trump took the time to “hate watch” him on PBS but suggested that Trump should be watching him on CBS instead. Colbert cleverly turned the insult on its head, asserting that Socrates once said, “Kiss my salty man bag, you crusty old Dingus!” The audience erupted in laughter and applause, showing their support for Colbert.
Colbert wrapped up the segment by addressing Trump’s claim that he is “very boring.” In response, Colbert brought a random passerby from Times Square onto the stage, jokingly offering them the opportunity to host the show since they would apparently do better for less money. The audience roared with laughter as Colbert playfully interacted with his new “co-host,” Andy Cohen.
As always, Colbert infused his comedic charm into his analysis of the day’s news, leaving the audience entertained and eager for more on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
