Late-night host Stephen Colbert ditched his usual comedy on Wednesday night, opting for a subdued and slightly depressing monologue — which he said was aimed at letting his audience know that if they were upset about the results of Tuesday’s presidential election, they were not alone. Colbert, apparently banking on none of his audience members having voted for former President Donald Trump, opened the show by saying, “Hey there, how are you doing? If you watch this show regularly, I’m guessing you’re not doing great. Yeah, me neither.” WATCH; “The Late Show” host began by promising to eventually get to the jokes but said that he first wanted to let his audience know that he was feeling the same things that they were. He also thanked them for being there, noting that he didn’t want to be alone either. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Today, some people said to me, ‘Sorry you have to do a show tonight,’ which is nice of them to say, but I don’t have to do a show. I get to do a show tonight,” Colbert said. “I’m so grateful to be with all of these talented people, those people over here, those people that you’ll never see, with the audience in the Ed Sullivan, with you people at home, because especially at times like this, what do we most want to be? Not alone. So thanks for being here.” We’re gonna do a comedy show, it’s a comedy show, we’re gonna do some jokes in just a minute because that’s what we do, and I’ll let you in on a little secret. No one gets into this business because everything in their life worked out great, so we’re built for rough roads. You guys ready?” Colbert did eventually pivot to the comedy, at which point he immediately began to attack Trump: “Who knows what the next four years are going to be like. What we do know is that we are going to be governed by a monstrous child surrounded by cowards and grifters.”

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough expressed shock on Thursday when he learned how expensive the cost of butter was for many Americans, prompting him to ask if it was wrapped in gold. The moment came on the network’s “Morning Joe” show with his wife, co-host Mika Brzezinski, as they discussed why President-elect Donald Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris. “I want to talk about the economy for a second,” he said. “A few weeks ago, three weeks ago, somebody who was going to be voting for Kamala Harris came up to me and said, ‘Oh my god, Trump’s going to win.’ I go, ‘Why is that?’ He goes, ‘I just, I went to the grocery store, butter is over $3.'” “I kind of laughed and I said, ‘Well, that’s kind of reductive, isn’t it?’ I said it to myself,” he continued. “To him, I smiled, and I said, ‘Good point.’ But it actually, everything we’re hearing after the election is–” Brzezinski then interrupted and pointed out that butter actually costs $7, not $3. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Butter is $7?” Scarborough asked. What, is it framed in gold?” “Okay, well, yeah, okay, well, anyway, my point is this, the rent is too damn high, and this guy was saying the cost of butter is way damn too high,” he said. “And so I thought it was a bit reductive.” “It ended up being just the point, that if you look at the cost of groceries, if you look at the cost of gas, if you look at the cost of things compared to four years ago, it was a very simple answer for working-class Americans: things just cost too much,” he added. WATCH: On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough is still trying to square how Kamala Harris lost so bad and was SHOCKED to learn about the high price of groceries. Scarborough was floored when a friend told him butter was $3 and he almost fell out of his chair when Mika Brzezinski told him… pic.twitter.com/6MelvWoput — Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) November 7, 2024
