Thank followers for his or her loyalty and vow one of the best is but to return? Maybe they’d reply with their funniest bits in ages.
Nah. They dropped the “F-bomb.” Repeatedly.
Colbert then appeared in an on-screen body that mentioned “Eloquence Cam” and, staring instantly into the digicam, affected a clipped New York accent: “Go f*** your self.” (The f-bomb was bleeped out.)
He then tried some comedy. Observe the phrase “try.”
“And now,” Colbert mentioned, “for the subsequent 10 months, the gloves are off. I can lastly converse unvarnished fact to energy and say what I actually take into consideration Donald Trump, beginning proper now” — and he then supplied this comically milquetoast critique of Trump: “I don’t look after him.
