Last night at
around 7:30, our friend Rachel Maddow unleashed a Force 5 tweet-icon with:
“We’ve got Trump tax returns. Tonight, 9 p.m., MSNBC. Seriously.” So important
for news networks to add “seriously” to any announcement, so the audience knows
you’re not pranking them. –Stephen Colbert
We all watched the
Twitter feed. And when 9 p.m. came, Rachel took us on an emotional roller
coaster — because, like a roller coaster, at the end we were all right back
where we started, and feeling a little queasy. –Stephen Colbert
First, she let us
know just how much information she had. Then after 20 minutes of explaining
what taxes are and who Donald Trump is, Maddow was ready show us the tax
return. “We’ll go through it next.” What! A cliffhanger? Is this news or a
reality show? I don’t want to watch “America’s Got 1040s.” –Stephen Colbert
