In a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, host Stephen Colbert welcomed his audience with a festive cheer, getting everyone in the mood for the holiday season. Colbert announced the start of Jack in the Box’s annual Fast Food Fest, the 24 days of Jacas, urging viewers to join the festivities through the Jack app. While we’re on the topic of celebrations, Spotify recently released its annual Wrapped playlists, revealing Taylor Swift as the most streamed artist globally. With her domination of the charts, it’s safe to say that Swift is on top of her game.
But let’s not forget the juicy gossip from the world of politics. This time, it involves Pete Hegseth, Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee. Allegations emerged of Hegseth causing a disturbance at a 2016 Fox and Friends Christmas party, leading to a human resources intervention. Hegseth attempted some damage control, claiming to be the victim in this situation. However, it seems like his reputation might be at stake. On the other hand, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, is facing his own challenges. Sales of raw milk from the farm he buys from have been suspended due to the detection of bird flu in the milk. It’s a tough time for milk enthusiasts.
In the international realm, France’s government has just collapsed, following the ousting of Prime Minister Michelle Barer. Barer decided to bypass parliament to push through a budget bill, resulting in lawmakers voting for his removal. With France’s parliament almost evenly divided between different factions, finding a suitable replacement for Barer is proving to be a challenging task.
And if that’s not enough, there’s a monkey mystery afoot. Forty-three monkeys escaped from the Alpha Genesis research facility in South Carolina. While most have been recaptured, four are still on the loose. The intrigue deepens as Alpha Genesis stopped providing updates on the situation, coinciding with a local news outlet publishing a story about escapes and deaths at the facility. It seems that there is more to this story than meets the eye, leaving everyone wondering about the fate of the remaining monkeys.
Amidst all the chaos, Colbert managed to keep the show light-hearted with some laughs. He shared Pope Francis’ advice to priests to keep their sermons short and sweet, clocking in at a maximum of 8 to 10 minutes. After all, brevity is the soul of wit, even in the world of religion.
