Stephen Colbert said on Thursday’s “Late Show” that he could barely sit through the three-hour presidential debate, but it didn’t stop him from giving Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul a list of better insults to frontrunner Donald Trump.
Paul criticized Trump for “sophomoric” insults about fellow candidates’ appreances early in the debate. Trump countered with: “I never attacked him or his looks, and believe me, there’s plenty of subject matter right there.”
Paul didn’t have a great response, but Colbert came up with some zingers for him.
“That’s a good dig from a man who looks like a microwaved circus peanut,” Colbert said. “Like a honey-glazed tiger testicle. Like a catheter bag full of candy corn. See you on the 22nd, sir!”
Trump will be interviewed by Colbert next week.
Watch Colbert’s coverage of the second debate, from CBS, below:
a honey-glazed tiger testicle. Like a catheter bag full of candy
corn. See you on the 22nd, sir!”
I will put toothpicks in my eyes that night to be sure to watch Colbert, I have a feeling this is going to be a lot of fun
“a catheter bag full of candy corn” may be the single most perfect alliterative insult I’ve ever read, as well as descriptively spot-on.
Go Colbert!
We may have lost Jon Stewart, but we now have Colbert on a really big stage. Even if Trevor Noah turns out to be a bust, I think we’ll be OK.
