So I was wrong, it was good for Colbert to address it because he absolutely killed that segment. I'm glad he gave her exactly as much recognition as she deserved by referring to her as "some hashtag activist."

I love how he lashed out at Michelle Malkin pulling another instance of "the only moral X is my X" by singling out her book.

Her and her idiot followers are now attacking him for showing her face on TV because she's been getting all kinds of threats. But having her name be the main focus in mainstream CancelColbert articles and a disastrous interview with the Huffington Post is apparently ok.

Oh look, this was made and it's awesome.

It sounds to me like you think those are the only constraints on a president, though.

e: I mean, not to mention the fact that the guy was a career soldier - not exactly a personality that you'd expect to say something groundbreaking. So I think you're being a little dumb for condemning Eisenhower for not saying something earlier.

The show will end with Colbert's character dying and then in the end there will be Jeff Goldblum taking him to the next life.

There's no behind the scenes joke for this one but it's still my favorite moment of Stephen not being able to keep it together from way back when he was on The Daily Show:

Because nobody does. Yeah Snyder's fake guilt charity is stupid in every imaginable way, but I don't think I've ever seen anything but 1 or 2 activist groups give a gently caress about the name that weren't just the same thing as white people being like this twitter lady getting angry on behalf of an actual minority. This comes up every few years before the media realizes that nobody actually gives a poo poo about the Redskins' name. Also for context, DC still remembers the suuuuuper dumb name change of the Bullets.
