Carlson even had to apologize live for missing a key detail.
“I’m glad to see that Fox News has finished agreeing with some of its dangerous misrepresentations,” Colbert said sarcastically. “This time, it’s not trivial things like,‘ Were the elections stolen? “or” Should I rebuke the horse’s medicine? “” No, Fox viewers, you have to splash it straight up. “
Colbert also made a version of the joke “seen here” after releasing this image of Carlson as in “seen here discussing the size of his own balls”:

Colbert’s fully vaccinated audience went mad.
Carlson, who recently admitted to lying on his show, offered to go to Trinidad and Tobago to interview Minaj’s cousin’s friend, so Colbert made a similar offer, except to interview the balls.
“The point is, I’m going to go anywhere to sit with those giant balls,” Colbert said. “However, I draw the line when interviewing a talking cock.”
Once again, an image of Carlson appeared.
