“There were reports claiming that fellow late-night hosts Conan O’Brien and David Letterman, had been axed from Obama’s guest list, but that I made the cut. Yeah, I mean, it makes sense — I am known to fill in when Letterman drops out of something.” —Stephen Colbert
“By the way, Mr. Former President, my own 60th birthday is coming up in three years, and you, sir, are not … going to want to miss it. Please come. I’d be so honored if you came. I’ll scale me back to make room for you — and Michelle, obviously.” —Stephen Colbert
“And it’s not just Obama’s birthday party – the Delta variant is ruining a lot of plans. Delta is going through America faster than mono through a high school drama club.” —Stephen Colbert
“And as with all bad news, there’s bad, and then there’s Florida, as the state broke its own record for new coronavirus cases. Governor Ron DeSantis has refused to reinstate mask mandates, claiming the spike is ‘seasonal’ as Floridians spend time indoors to escape the summer heat. It’s just like when the governor of Pompeii announced, ‘Hey guys, ignore the rain of ash, it’s just volcano season!’” —Stephen Colbert
“The New York Attorney General’s 165-page investigation into New York governor Andrew Cuomo, found that he sexually harassed 11 women, created a ‘climate of fear’ in a ‘toxic’ workplace and violated federal and state civil laws. The accusers included former members of staff and a state trooper. So, he harassed only two types of women – those who work for him, and those who do not.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night
of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
