The Late Show with Stephen Colbert never fails to entertain, and in the latest episode, host Stephen Colbert did not disappoint. With his characteristic wit and humor, Colbert delved into the latest news about Matt Gaetz and Trump’s unpopular cabinet picks, while also sharing some exciting updates about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
Firstly, Colbert couldn’t contain his delight at Gaetz’s withdrawal as Trump’s nominee for Attorney General of the United States. Gaetz’s nomination had been met with opposition from many Republican Senators, especially after the recent allegations of paying women for sex. The New York Times even published a chart detailing the venmo transactions between Gaetz and his friends, highlighting the payments made to various women. Colbert couldn’t resist cracking a few jokes about the chart, remarking on the “flow” between Gaetz and these women.
But it didn’t end there. One of Gaetz’s accusers claimed to have witnessed him having sex with a 17-year-old, adding another shocking twist to the story. And as if that wasn’t enough, the encounter allegedly took place on an air hockey table at a house party while the homeowner watched. Colbert humorously questioned why anyone would watch such a scene unfold.
Despite Gaetz’s sudden withdrawal, the talk show host pointed out that Trump’s picks for various positions aren’t faring well either. A recent poll revealed that Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr, Pete Heth, Matt Gaetz, and Chris Gnome are viewed with approval by only a fraction of Americans. Colbert cleverly compared their popularity to the unpleasant experience of accidentally biting the inside of one’s cheek repeatedly.
Moving on from politics, Colbert also touched on the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. He mentioned the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. He highlighted the exciting addition of a new Minnie Mouse balloon, making her debut at the parade. Colbert playfully commended her for breaking the “glass ceiling” and emphasizing her role as a balloon.
To add some light-heartedness, Colbert brought out a plate of cookies baked by one of his writers’ daughters, Willa. He jokingly suggested that the cookies, which consisted of a slice and bake base topped with a slice and bake sugar cookie, could bridge the divide in the country. Colbert playfully mentioned how the cookie brought chocolate chip and sugar together and humorously hinted at the possibility of adding a Snickerdoodle in the future.
As always, Colbert provided an entertaining and lively episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. From analyzing the latest political scandal involving Matt Gaetz to discussing Thanksgiving festivities, Colbert kept viewers engaged and laughing throughout the show. This talk show never fails to be a must-watch for anyone looking for a good dose of entertainment and humor.
