Stephen Colbert is very, very excited for the Jan. 6 committee hearings, which will air in primetime, beginning later this week. In fact, he’s so excited, he announced “The Late Show” will be going live each night just after they finish.
“I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait for the Jan. 6 committee’s live hearings. On Thursday. In primetime,” Colbert said as he opened his Tuesday night monologue.
“They’re destined to go down in the annals of live TV like the Watergate hearings, the moon landing and the time Walter Cronkite was swallowed by a python,” he continued, showing a photoshopped pic of the late newsman exactly as he described.
