Colbert Vows to Repurpose His ‘Joe Biden Is Old’ Jokes for Trump
“I am going to miss Joe Biden,” said Stephen Colbert in his Monday night monologue.
This was the Late Show host’s first episode since Biden announced he was no longer seeking reelection on Sunday. Colbert, who first suggested Biden drop out of the race shortly after the disastrous June debate, now talked about the first time he encouraged Biden to run for president.
“On this very program right over there on September 10, 2015, I encouraged then Vice President Biden to run. He ignored me for five years, then he did it,” Colbert said. “And I believe he has been a great president.”
