Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert got their respective turns to weigh in on the killing of Osama Bin Laden on Monday, and the Comedy Central hosts were — like most of America — downright giddy.
Stewart said he heard about Bin Laden's death while watching "Celebrity Apprentice." ("I was watching it to see if Obama and Seth Meyer's absolute shellacking of Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday had left a visible mark.")
Colbert — who opened by leading the studio audience in a chorus of "U-S-A! U-S-A!" — showed remarkable restraint.
"Suck my giant American balls, Al-Qaeda," Colbert declared. "Folks, I am as giddy as a schoolgirl who just shot Bin Laden in the eye."
