Stephen Colbert continued his coverage of the 2016 presidential election by paying his respect to the latest two fallen tributes in the Hungry For Power Games on Monday’s “Late Show.”

The recurring segment is based off the incredibly successful novels by Suzanne Collins and movie franchise. Colbert adopts his own version of of Hunger Games host Caesar Flickerman.

“And just last week, the Democrats’ bald patch got even patchier,” Colbert said.

Colbert paid tribute to the fallen tributes of former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee, hailing from District Horsey, and former Sen. Jim Webb (VA), from District Grumpy.

“This means at peak Chafee, out of 100 people, he had the support of one guy — from the waist up,” Colbert said.

“Yes, Jim Webb is withdrawing from consideration. I’m sure that will come as a disappointment to his supporter,” Colbert said.
