John Oliver makes his triumphant return to Last week tonight this coming Sunday on HBO. But first, he joined Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night Late Show to weigh everything he had been missing since the end of the post-election season last fall.
“Here we go again, again,” Colbert said at the top of the show, explaining that on the first day of Trump’s second impeachment hearings, or, as he called it, “déjà coup.”–it turned out to be “much less boring” than I thought it would be. The host was especially moved by House’s “devastating” video dismissal managers presented at the top of their initial arguments.
After joking about the reality that he is, at 43, the same age as seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, Oliver intervened in the day’s proceedings, calling it “the perfect echo of Trump’s presidency. , which is supposed to be nothing, is not done much as a thing ”.
“I guess the first lawyer engaged in a kind of freestyle overcame poetry for a while and then the second threatened civil war, right?” Oliver added.
“I thought I was just trying to run out of the clock,” said Colbert, who compared Trump’s attorney Bruce Castor to a standing comedian who has to act for an entire hour.
Colbert also spent a few minutes of his monologue roasting Trump’s “completely unprepared” defense team, which he opened by accidentally referring to himself as “chief prosecutor,” to David Schoen, who ” he made bad police “Castor’s bad lawyer” and presented a montage of Democrats arguing that Trump should have been charged from his first year in office.
“Uh, Dave? This is not the punch you think it is, ”the host replied. “‘Honor, my client did not burn that school. I present in court three years of 911 calls saying he is an arsonist.”
