The Hollywood Reporter recaps:
Stephen Colbert kicked off Tuesday’s episode with a Trump and Oscars joke wrapped into one: “Any chance there’s a mistake and Moonlight is the president?” After Trump addressed Congress on Tuesday, Colbert’s Late Show went live to discuss Trump’s speech, mixed in with the events of Sunday.
Colbert was excited to recap the president’s remarks, but Trump didn’t even get up to the podium before the host had to bring up old jokes: “So many handshakes, such little hands.” During the episode, the host explained that Trump’s speech wasn’t technically a State of the Union address, “because I think in this timeline, the Confederacy won.”
Democratic women wore white to the event in honor of women’s suffrage, Colbert said, “while the Republicans were white in honor or who elected them.” The theme of the evening was “renewal of the American spirit,” Colbert said, “which really just sounds like a Chinese bootleg of ‘Make America Great Again.'”
