As expected , Stephen Colbert wasted no fourth dimension beforehilariously trolling politicianson the first day of the Republican National Convention on Monday morning in Cleveland . But by Monday night , theLate Showhost was so overwhelmed by the Trump - fueled political rabies , he reunite with Jon Stewart for help , who – perhaps unintentionally – rise hisColbert Reportpersona , Stephen Colbert . You eff , the old one .
That ’s right , tribe – both Jon Stewartandthe original Stephen Colbert reunite to somehow make good sense of the political spectacle , and more specifically , Donald Trump . And by " make sense of " Trump , we mean mercilessly make merriment of him as only the two comedian could .
Watch as Colbert discover Stewart hold up a sprightliness of " blissful , simoleons - fueled isolation " after leavingThe Daily Show , only to discover the decidedly bearded master satirist is so out of touch with the newsworthiness that he just assumed Jeb Bush is the presumptive Republican presidential candidate . His response , when Colbert inform him that Trump is the existent nominee , is gross , and leads to rapid - ardor thrusting at the campaigner in the form of Stewart ’s incredulous inquiring .

" Yes , " Colbert enjoin . " The guy who depend like an furious Creamsicle . "
" Decomposing jack - oxygen - lantern . "
" Human - toupe hybrid , " Colbert adds .
The exchange ultimately leads Stewart to evaporate into his logarithm cabin and return with none other than the old Stephen Colbert , complete with a Captain America carapace and Sting , the sword of Frodo inLord of the Rings . Apparently , the beloved character had join Stewart in closing off after the current Colbert became horde of theLate Showon CBS . His return is label by none other than his signature raised eyebrow and eagle cries .
Old Colbert , too , is indignant when he learns that Trump , not Bush , is the presumptive nominee , and returns to TV for one more installation of his Greco-Roman segment , The Word , which you may watch right here :
As you may see , Classic Colbert did n’t fall back any of his fire during his sentence offscreen , although his comeback appears to been only brief on Monday night ’s show . But , then again , Colbert still has the rest of the hebdomad of live episodes of theLate Showfrom the normal , so he ’s in all probability got way more surprises in depot . manifestly , this was a helluva start .
