Although the presidential election may not have been a done deal when Stephen Colbert signed off on his live Election Night special Tuesday even on Showtime , theLate Showhost was visibly stupefy by incoming results that increasingly betoken to a Donald Trump presidentship . And while looker might not have been able to laugh , Colbert closed the show with saneness and plenty of the attentive silliness that makes him so bloody loveable .
" How did our politics get so venomous ? " Colbert asks a solemnly silent consultation . " I guess we o.d. . You take a little of the poison so you’re able to detest the other side . And it taste good , and you enjoy it , and you know you ’re right . " The heartfelt contemplation , however , did n’t terminate Colbert from crock up some jokes . gratefully , hoi polloi managed to express joy .
" I think we can agree that this has been an absolutely exhausting , bruising election for everyone and it has arrive to an end that I did not guess , " he said . " We all now experience the way Rudy Giuliani looks . "
Finally , Colbert ends the show by asking the audience to join him in nem con voting for " a few matter that all bring us together " or " some thing Americans do n’t fight about , " such as " Kit Kats should be eaten in segment , not bitten into like a normal candy stripe , you creature , " and that you should never order a vegetable pizza because " plain cheese is veggie , " and several other proceeds .
But here ’s what ’s perhaps the comedian ’s good advice as we all develop for a President Trump , disregardless of how that makes you find .
" In the face of something that might strike you as horrible , I think laughter is the best medicine , " Colbert said . " you could not laugh and be afraid at the same meter . And the devil can not stand mockery . "
