Colbert Has Little Sympathy for Trump Voters With Buyer's Remorse
Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night's highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.
Bad Business
A new poll indicates that some Americans feel buyer's remorse about voting for President Donald Trump.
On Thursday's 'Late Show,' Stephen Colbert pointed out that it's mainly because, after more than a month in office, Trump has yet to eliminate inflation, as he promised during his campaign to do on Day 1.
'That was his claim. He said it over and over again, and now, on Day 38, they still think things are too expensive. Somewhere in Delaware, Joe Biden is shaking his head, chuckling to himself, and thinking, 'Why did I come into this room?' ' — STEPHEN COLBERT
'One thing that continues to make consumers anxious is the high price of breakfast. And with bird flu, there's no end in sight. According to experts, egg prices could jump 41 percent, meaning this year's Easter egg hunt is going to be The Purge.' — STEPHEN COLBERT
'It's getting so expensive — this is true — that here in New York, some bodegas are selling individual eggs, known as 'loosie' eggs, to customers who can't afford full cartons. Yum, loose egg! And if you can't afford those, there's a guy in the alley in the back.' — STEPHEN COLBERT
Colbert said he had limited sympathy for Trump supporters.
'They ordered the turd soup and then said, 'Waiter, there's turds in my soup.' Then they came back four years later and asked, 'Y'all still have that turd soup?'' — STEPHEN COLBERT
The Punchiest Punchlines (Bad Sexist Jokes Edition)
'So Jeff Bezos is launching a historic rocket mission in which Katy Perry, Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez will be the astronaut in an all-woman mission. They're calling it the 'Real Housewives of Mars.' ' — GREG GUTFELD
'The mission will last four hours, but the women are expected to take six weeks to get ready.' — GREG GUTFELD
'Also, there will be a booster rocket following their spaceship carrying all their luggage — because they're chicks.' — GREG GUTFELD
