John Kasich Explains The Jesus Part Of Passover

Presidential-still-hopeful-for-some-reason John Kasich spent some of his time in New York explaining Passover to the city's Hasidic population.

Watch The Late Show with Stephen Colbert weeknights at 11:35 PM ET/10:35 PM CT. Only on CBS.

---
Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

When on the Republican ticket, you are required to talk about Jesus. Even to an all Jewish crowd.

First 15 seconds had me rolling on the floor.

[ReSliSt]

Reminds me of Trump's two Corinthians.

Stephen is so brilliant!
Happy Pesach, Stephen.

I missed you Stephen, last week I had less laughter but now you are back yay!

[chrstfer]

The secondhand embarrassment for Kasich is fucking real.

[kreativepulp]

Stephen coloured his hair. Suddenly looking younger and even more handsome. 😍

[gidiup]

Not to mention, Kasich said "lampposts." Now, I am pretty sure that they put the blood on the doorpost and that lampposts wouldn't be invented for another four thousand years, but I could be wrong. *shrug*

its always scary when politicians talk about religion.

Just to be clear, the last supper was the Sedar Meal (passover). The bread and wine from communion are part of the Passover Meal. When you see the Sedar Meal through a Christian lens many things in it make more sense. I get that most Jews of course don't think Jesus is the messiah or God but it's not as if Kasich didn't know what he was saying.

The razor wire fence in the background is a nice touch

I've missed you Stephen you gorgeous bugger

[rukeyser]

This is perfect Stephen. Don't miss perfect Samantha Bee's Full Frontal on this - kind of a quantum leap.

Comparative mythology...

...shouldn't be discussed in politics.

[paulknotchette]

THANK YOU for the 4 question's reference. as the youngest jew in my family (able to read) i'm always stuck with them.

If this guy is the moderate it tells you a lot about how crazy the other two are

[Haru]

That's not what 'Judeo-Christian' means...

[trekkienzl]

As a Catholic myself, you do know that Jews (except for Messianic Jews) don't recognize Jesus Christ as The Son of God or their Messiah, right?

I mean, Muslims have more reverence for Our Lord Jesus Christ than Jews do (albeit they only seem to see Jesus Christ as a prophet whereas we Christians believe Jesus Christ is The Son of God and Our Lord and Savior).

News Flash! The Last Supper was a Passover Seder!

[Wafaloo]

Maybe he meant "lamb" post...?
