The Hungry For Power Games paid its final respects to the latest fallen tribute in the 2016 presidential race, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.

Jindal suspended his campaign Tuesday.

The recurring segment on Wednesday’s episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” is a riff on the tournament in Suzanne Collins’ wildly successful novels. Colbert adopts a version of of Hunger Games host Caesar Flickerman.

Jindal never polled higher than 1 percent.

“Bobby, I have some terrible news about the Tooth Fairy,” Colbert said. “She’s not voting for you either!”

Colbert previously paid respects to 2016’s other fallen tributes: former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee and former Sen. Jim Webb, and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. 2016 today, 2016 tomorrow, 2016 forever.
