In a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, host Stephen Colbert delighted the audience with his signature wit and charm. As usual, the show was filled with laughter, applause, and interesting discussions.
One of the topics that Colbert tackled was President Biden’s controversial decision to grant a blanket pardon to his son, Hunter. This move has left many Democrats, including Colorado Senator Michael Bennett, feeling quite upset. Bennett took to Twitter to express his disappointment, stating that Biden’s decision undermines the belief in a fair and equal justice system. However, Colbert couldn’t resist injecting a bit of humor into the situation, jokingly mentioning that it would be hard for Jill Biden to top a blanket pardon as a Christmas gift.
Switching gears, Colbert shared some exciting news from Paris. After five years of extensive repairs, the Cathedral of Notre-Dame is finally reopening to the public. The French, known for their love of celebration, marked the occasion with a spectacular three-way opening ceremony. The restored cathedral, which received a jaw-dropping one billion euros for its restoration, is a true masterpiece. And not only did the building receive a makeover, but even the famous Hunchback of Notre-Dame was given a glow-up.
In international news, former President Trump is already causing a stir with his threats to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico. This move has sparked concerns, especially since Mexico supplies a significant amount of America’s imported fruit and vegetables. Colbert humorously suggested that Americans may soon run out of cucumbers and suffer from a lack of liquid in their crisper drawers. Additionally, he noted that the majority of imported beer consumed in the US is brewed in Mexico, and the country manufactures a significant percentage of pickup trucks sold in America.
Continuing with his trademark humor, Colbert pointed out the hilarious similarities between Donald Trump and his cabinet picks. He highlighted a video featuring Health and Human Services nominee, RFK Jr., and actress Cheryl Hines promoting products from her lifestyle brand. Colbert couldn’t help but comment on the awkwardness of the video and made a playful nod to the couple’s unconventional background happenings. Trust Cheryl Hines to make promotion videos with a touch of unpredictability!
Finally, Colbert shared a viral video created by a runner in Toronto. Using the GPS tracker on his running app, the runner created an impressive animation by stringing together all the routes he had run over the span of 10 months. The result was an intricate and fascinating image. Colbert playfully teased the runner for using his running app for such a creative endeavor, stating that most people just download the app as a New Year’s resolution and delete it when their phone runs out of storage.
As always, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert delivered an entertaining, insightful, and humorous episode. From political controversies to international news, Colbert never fails to entertain his audience with his unique blend of comedy and commentary.
