I know it’s late, but we have been away a few days and this one is worth a chuckle.

He had to take the piss out of Trump, and Stephen did just that, landing a number of body blows during his monologue for the 69th Emmy Awards on Sunday night.

There was the usual song and dance opening, littered with nods to TV past and present, and then it was time for Stephen to bring on the snark.

Variety were impressed:

Colbert heaped scorn on the president and his administration — but he also needled, provoked, and challenged the audience in front of him, too. A couple of his remarks in the opening monologue were so niche, about Hollywood, that it would fly right over most viewers’ heads — but it seemed to be important to him to establish a tone that let no one, and nothing, off the hook.

If ever you wanted proof that Trump and his team are now bona fide celebrities, look no further than Sean Spicer being wheeled out in the final minute of the video below.

Oh Sean, pretty cringe bud:
