Two themes the late night comedians have tried to hammer away at recently are that President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, is a sex pest and that Trump himself is a threat to the rule of law who has been emboldened by the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling. Therefore, the worst possible guest they could interview would be former President Bill Clinton, but that is exactly what CBS’s Stephen Colbert did on Tuesday’s installment of The Late Show.
First, Colbert had to let Clinton know that he is a fan, “Sir, it’s a pleasure to see you again. I’ve had a chance to talk to you a few times over the years, and the last time we saw each other was on stage at Radio City for a massive fundraiser for Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, and that didn’t continue, but it was an amazing night. Did you have a good time that night?”
