Overview
- The Late Show audience booed when Stephen Colbert mentioned the one-year mark of President Trump’s return to office, briefly halting his monologue.
- Colbert marked the date with hyperbole by saying Trump had been in office “exactly 1,000 years” and argued he has monopolized public attention.
- He recapped what he said were defining controversies, citing a renaming of the Gulf of Mexico, a giant birthday military parade, an order ending birthright citizenship, and demolition of the East Wing.
- Colbert publicly pressed the administration on the Epstein files, asking where they are and noting he believes the law requires their release.
- Other hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel, Josh Johnson, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon, emphasized overload, with Kimmel dubbing Trump “Shark-NATO” and closing with a montage of the president’s own words.
