I wish I could phone Stephen Colbert, and ask him about his thoughts on the last few weeks.
We would verbally high-five about Trump’s latest indictments.
Stephen Colbert and his Late Show has been a constant companion weekday nights ever since Trump ran for president. The comedic expression of his anxiety about Trump, about Covid, and everything in between has made me feel comforted and that I’m not crazy to be so outraged.
He’s been absent from the airwaves since the Writer’s Strike, and I miss him. I miss his Ron DeSantis Snark, his Jim Jordan Snark, and everything in between. I want to ask him about what happened with Chris Licht and CNN. Like WTF, Stephen?
In my mind, we’re on the phone with each other, with MSNBC on in the background. We shift from one topic to another and occasionally veer off to talk about science fiction, the latest episode of Silo, or what Marvel movie is coming up next. You need to process this shit but your brain needs a break now and then.
