Stephen Colbert accepted an award last night … from “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Naturally, the late night host was presented the honor for his mastery over wordplay.
Elon Musk was the recipient of Colbert’s sick burn. During his opening monologue, Colbert shared that recently someone stole the wheels off of every single Tesla in a Texas parking lot.
“Whoever did it, I do not condone this. But I do appreciate your tireless efforts,” Colbert said on Thursday night. The CBS host then feigned shock and reached off camera to grab an award. “What’s this? The Nobel Prize for Puns? Thank you so much!”
That was far from the only joke about Teslas and Musk Colbert had on Thursday.
