Colbert: The greatest ReCap of the GOP Debate so far

In case you were at all worried about whether Colbert could deliver the comedy goods on The Late Show, those concerns should be entirely wiped away by now, especially after his killer Thursday night segment recapping the CNN Republican debate.

Cutting right to the chase, Colbert gave us arguably the three funniest Trump insults of all time, describing the GOP frontrunner’s appearance as:

• a microwaved circus peanut.
• a honey-glazed tiger testicle.
• a catheter bag filled with candy corn.

Colbert punctuated the insults with, “See you on the 22nd, sir!” Indeed, Trump will be Colbert’s guest next Tuesday. Elsewhere, Colbert discussed CNN’s rules for the debate in which if a candidate mentioned another candidate’s name, that candidate got to speak next. And if the next candidate mentioned yet another candidate, that candidate got to speak after that. From there, Colbert cut to a clip illustrating the game of telephone order of succession through the debate — Trump mentioning Fiorina; Fiorina mentioning Chris Christie; Chris Christie mentioning Marco Rubio; and so forth. The sequence ended with Trump invoking Abraham Lincoln, followed by a quick clip of Daniel Day Lewis in Spielberg’s Lincoln movie.

Colbert also noted the length of the debate the fact that somehow, at 10:12 p.m., while the debate was still going on, Jeb Bush “joined Vine.”
