“So naturally there’s one question on everyone’s mind: did I go to Barack Obama’s birthday party? The 44th president celebrated his 60th birthday over the weekend with a celeb-filled, if still Covid-restrained, bash in Martha’s Vineyard. The original party was supposed to be starrier, with over 700 people including Oprah and George Clooney invited, but because of concerns about the highly transmissible delta variant, he was forced to limit his invites to only the closest Beyoncés.” —Stephen Colbert
“I did not make the final cut, as far as being invited to the party. It just goes to show you, kids, that if you work hard, put in your time, and get to be the number one show in late-night television, you too can get disinvited from the cool kids’ party.” —Stephen Colbert
“There were rumors that I was being disinvited from the cool kid’s party that was former President Barack Obama’s 60th birthday on Martha’s Vineyard over the weekend. Here’s the thing — a hot ticket is what it was, but given the whole pandemic thing and the Delta variant, a celebrity mosh pit was maybe not the wisest choice, so Obama decided to scale back the guest list for his party. In the massive scaling back, I got massively scaled.” —Stephen Colbert

of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
