John Oliver makes his triumphant return to Last week tonight next Sunday on HBO. But first he joined Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night Late show to weigh in on everything he has missed since his final fall last season.
“Here we go again,” Colbert said at the top of the show, explaining that the first day of Trump’s second indictment – or, as he calls it, “déjà coup”–turns out to be ‘much less boring’ than he thought it would be. The host was particularly moved by the “devastating” video House accusation managers presented at the top of their opening arguments.
After joking about the fact that he’s 43 at the same age as seven-time Super Brad champion Tom Brady, Oliver weighed in on the day’s proceedings, calling it the ‘perfect echo of the Trump presidency’ – something that is supposed to be nothing is very much something made. ”
“I find out that the first lawyer had some kind of freestyle poetry for a while and when the second civil war threatened, is that right?” Oliver added.
“I thought he was just trying to run the clock,” Colbert said, comparing Trump’s lawyer Bruce Castor to a stand-up comedian who has to perform a full hour.
Colbert also roasted a few minutes of his monologue to roast Trump’s’ completely unprepared ‘defense team, from Castor, who began by accidentally referring to himself as the’ chief prosecutor ‘, to David Schoen, who’s a bad cop’ played for Castor’s ‘bad lawyer’. ” And presented a mockery of Democrats arguing that Trump should be charged from his first year in office.
‘Uh, Dave? It’s not the knockout blow you think it is, ‘replied the host. ” Your honor, my client did not burn down that school. I serve three years of 911 calls to the court and say he is an arsonist. ”
