Stephen Colbert got to deliver some breaking news to his studio audience on Thursday afternoon.
“Literally three minutes before I walked out on this stage here, the New York Times reported a New York grand jury voted to indict former President Donald J. Trump.”
And on hearing the news, the “Late Show” audience stood and cheered for more than half a minute as Colbert celebrated on stage with a big bowl of ice cream.
Colbert noted that the indictment wasn’t just welcome news for Trump’s critics, but also potentially for Trump himself.
“He now gets to join his J6 Prison Choir,” he said, referring to the group of Jan. 6 inmates who sing in a bizarre new recording featuring the former president.
