In the latest episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the audience was treated to an exciting and eventful evening. The premiere episode of FBI Late Show kicked off with a breaking development in the world of crime, as a person of interest was arrested in connection with the tragic shooting of United HealthCare CEO. While the name of the suspect was bleeped out for broadcast, it was comically close to Guido Casseri. This arrest could be the end of the massive manhunt that began in Midtown Manhattan last week.
The suspect’s escape and subsequent capture added a strange twist to the story. After the shooting, the gunman fled the scene using an electric bike and rode all the way to Central Park. The police managed to catch him, thanks to a discarded Starbucks water bottle which contained his DNA. As the details of the arrest circulated online, people couldn’t help but notice the suspect’s attractive physique. Social media went wild, with many expressing their admiration for this mysterious individual. With his Italian roots evident, it’s no wonder that people were commenting on his abs, jokingly saying you could grate parmesan on them.
In addition to this gripping crime story, there was also breaking news from the Middle East. Rebel forces in Syria successfully overthrew the government, putting an end to the regime of Bashar Al Assad. After his departure to Moscow, the people took to the streets, joyfully tearing down a statue of Assad’s father. But in their excitement, they left the giant bust of the former dictator in a dumpster. Perhaps next time, they should wash it out before discarding it, as peanut butter remnants could prevent it from being collected.
While the overthrow of a tyrant typically signifies good news, the rebel group responsible, Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham, was formerly linked to Al-Qaeda. However, they have been working to distance themselves from their extremist roots since 2016. Their leader, Abu Muhammad Al-Jolani, goes by the name Ahmed Al-Shar when appearing on stage, but transforms into Sasha Al-Fierce. This alteration hints at the complexities of the situation in Syria, where liberation from oppression comes with its own set of potential challenges.
Shifting the focus to some recent political developments, former President Donald Trump made headlines with his controversial statements. When asked about his plan to pardon the insurrectionists who attacked the US Capitol on January 6th, Trump confirmed he was looking into it. He even joked about the possibility of a buddy comedy about two men bonding over their presidential pardons. Additionally, he expressed his desire to see the members of the January 6th committee, including Liz Cheney, face legal consequences for investigating the crime. Trump’s remarks drew attention and raised concerns about his intentions to jail his political opponents.
During his trip to France for the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral, which was devastated by a fire five years ago, Trump met with French President Emmanuel Macron. Their handshake raised eyebrows as it appeared that Trump wasn’t familiar with the proper etiquette. The event took a comical turn when Trump photoshopped the picture of him and First Lady Jill Biden into an ad for his new fragrance. However, Dr. Biden cleverly used the photo to promote her line of pepper spray, highlighting the differences in their perspectives.
Amidst all the political controversies, the FDA announced its intention to ban a food dye called Red 3, which is used in numerous products like Pez, Peeps, and Double Bubble chewing gum. This decision sparked sadness among many, who wondered what they would eat now without the vibrant color in their treats. With its removal, a part of American food culture seems to be fading away.
Overall, this episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert provided a mix of thrilling crime news, international developments, and political intrigue. Viewers witnessed the arrest of a person of interest in a high-profile shooting, the overthrow of a tyrannical regime in Syria, and Trump’s controversial comments. With all the twists and turns, this episode certainly entertained its audience and left them eagerly awaiting the next installment of The Late Show.
