“You can’t give Don that number. He might give it to Eric.” It’s funny cause it’s true. 😂😂😂

"He's destroying his legacy!"
You poor, naive fool! This IS his legacy!

[melneth]

I want to thank you for mentioning helping Kentucky on your show the other night. You have drawn a lot of attention to the disaster and we are now getting a lot of help because of it so thank you so much!

Never heard a better description of Laura Ingraham. "The woman who appears in your bathroom mirror if you whisper "medicare for all" 3 times". Just Perfect!!

"NO SH*T!" I busted a gut laughing. Thank you Mr Colbert for always keeping us laughing through the craziness

"Destroying his legacy"? -- No, he was establishing it, just like Benedict Arnold.

I like Laurence O’Donnel’s take on this. The text messages saying, “He needs to lead, now!” Are a great reminder that even Trump’s closest advisors and friends never thought he actually could lead

[TheOGClassicMan]

His "Legacy" wasn't any good...any person who thinks otherwise lives in a fantasy...

[captainx]

They were concerned more about him destroying his reputation than him destroying the country.

I choked then spit out my water before crying at the last LOTR joke! Haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time.

[JasonBoyce]

As a lot of people are saying, the reason Trump doesn’t take text mesages directly is this exact thing. His underlings take the messages, and then they can legally be liable for crimes. Trump never has a phone or an email involved so that he can never be directly implicated in crimes.

Colbert has been my sanity through the Trump period. Thank you sir!

"This is not about me holding me in contempt"

Please DO hold yourself in contempt, Meadows.

I know you would never have the integrity to do so, but it is a nice thought and make things so much simpler.

Hi from Germany!! Keep it up and don't let Democracy DIE!!!

[ljg]

Knowing what a huge LOTRs fan he is, that last bit was extra comedy gold...

[verslalchimie]

"We might have paid more attention if democracy died on a Peleton" OMG, hilarious and so, so true

[bcoldwell]

"Destroying his legacy???" "Solidifying" his legacy is more accurate.

“We all might pay attention if democracy died on a Peleton.” — Colbert’s quote of the year.

[shelby]

Nothing made me sigh and roll my eyes more than hearing her refer to herself as a 'life coach' 🙄

[allyourcode]

His legacy was malicious incompetence. A failed coup is a perfect microcosm of his entire time as White House occupier.
