Watch Colbert Audience Go Absolutely Nuts As They Get Trump News In Real Time
Stephen Colbert got to deliver some breaking news to his studio audience on Thursday:
“Literally three minutes before I walked out on this stage here, The New York Times reported a New York grand jury voted to indict former President Donald J. Trump.”
Colbert rarely speaks the former president’s name on his show. Trump’s name is often blurred out in on-screen graphics and headlines as well.
But not this time.
And on hearing the news, “The Late Show” audience stood and cheered for more than half a minute as Colbert celebrated on stage with a big bowl of ice cream.
