Stephen Colbert had some fun with TheWrap’s exclusive reporting that Donald Trump’s team is desperately trying to book A-list talent for his inauguration.
During his monologue on “The Late Show” Thursday, the comedian quoted TheWrap’s headline, “Insiders: Trump Team Dangled Ambassadorships to Lure A-List Inauguration Singers.”
“It looks like the inaugural entertainment is just going to be the Trump family jug band,” Colbert says. His comments begin around the 5-minute mark in the video above.
The president-elect’s team is struggling so hard to book A-list performers for his inaugural festivities that it offered ambassadorships to at least two talent bookers if they could deliver marquee names.
