Quick, get him to a couch and point a camera at him (It doesn’t mean you get to fly the plane)

In anonymous interviews, several of Pete Hegseth’s former colleagues at Fox said that on more than a dozen occasions during his time as Fox & Friends Weekend cohost, they smelled alcohol on him before he went on air. Come on, it’s a show that starts at 6am on the weekend – I’m sure a lot of morning hosts are still feeling it from the night before. —Stephen Colbert      

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been selected to lead the “department of government efficiency”, or Doge. Though appointed by Trump, the new department has no power to make laws, cut budget or do anything. It’s like when you’re a kid and you visit the cockpit, you get a set of wings. It doesn’t mean you get to fly the plane. —Jimmy Kimmel

There is another report on Pete Hegseth’s drunken behavior, this time at a 2016 Fox News Christmas party where complaints led to a human resources intervention. The HR talking-to clearly didn’t work, because soon after, Hegseth attended the wedding of a Fox News colleague where he reportedly got so drunk that he struggled to stay upright in a bathroom. Friends asked a producer who was there to get him a ride home. OK, finally, someone at Fox News who’s responsible … is what I would say if that sentence did not end with ‘so he could make it to the set by 6am’. Imagine the logic: This man is clearly too drunk to stand! Quick, get him to a couch and point a camera at him. —Stephen Colbert
