” If you watch this show constantly, I’m guessing you’re not doing great”, he told the audience. ” Yeah, me either. Today, some people said to me,’ Sorry you have to do a show tonight,’ which is nice of them to say but I do n’t have to do a show. I get to do a present now”.
Finally he thanked the “talented people” who were gathered around him and the market and said there would still be jokes playing in the future performance. They were greatly needed. ” And I’ll let you in on a small secret”, he said. No one enters this industry because” we’re built for hard roads because everything in their living worked out good.” And hard routes are, however, what lies back. Reproductive right, LGBTQ+ right —so many various rights are threatened under Trump.
After that statement, Colbert showed the cold clear, a medley of various nations reacting to the future Trump administration. In Italy, for instance, Super Mario was filmed yelling his fingers and” Mamma Mia.” Speaking as Brits, we’re so sad, but this one is very relevant to those of us outside the US.
That clip ended with a picture of Russian troops dancing, which needs no description, and then we were into the talk. Perhaps predictably, it began with shouting.
” Well, f***. It happened. Again”, Colbert said. Donald Trump won the 2024 election after a ridiculous and cruel campaign that was fueled by a desperate need to avoid jail.
He also referenced January 6, 2021, saying,” The heavy horror and sense of loss is huge, fine. But this look at the bright side. This means, at least there’ll be a peaceful transfer of power. Mike Pence, olly-olly-oxen-free”!
Colbert then said,” All day yesterday, I was walking around boldly wearing my I Voted decal,” which many Americans will now consider to be a blow in the colon. Now, I wore my’ I am questioning my basic conviction in the good of humanity’ badge”.
He successfully spelled out a simile that perfectly sums up the situation. ” As a late-night network, people often say to me,’ Come on, piece of you has got to like Trump to win because he gives you so much material to work with,'” he said. ” No. No. No one ever addresses the bathroom cleaner’s comment,” Wow, you may like it when someone has explosive diarrhea.” There’s so much stuff for you to function with!'”
Over the next four decades, there will be much more of that violent diarrhea, even outside of America. Next day, Trump’s hatred and stupidity oozed into different places too. Momentan, all we can hope for is that someone will feverishly start cleaning the symbolic bathroom.
