Stephen Colbert said it was good to be alone because it was the one year anniversary of the attack on our democracy. "I think it is important that we remember and reflect on days like this..."
The Late Show host spoke about the attack on Capitol Hill. As the insurrection grew, Colbert and his staff were writing a script for the show. He shared his exact expression when he realized what was happening with a picture taken by one of his writers.
Colbert says that the man is about to get very wet. The story is true.
He remembers how he and his staff tore up their original script. Colbert decided to do a live show after driving into the city.
The anniversary of the attempted coup was marked by President Joe Biden's speech. He focused on the clips of a stern Biden speaking about a former president who can't accept that he lost the election. Ahem.
Yes! Colbert told Joe to tell it like it is. He told the crowd that the speech reminded him of Joe the voter.
The anniversary was marked by a parody of Rent song "Seasons of Love", which was cleverly titled "Abhor-Rent".
