Ha! So did I, I thought it was Ty Cobb too, but the tinted glasses threw me. I was just moving closer to squint at my little screen when he revealed it.
I also noticed Wilford Brimley, but knew it was Wilford Brimley. That's because I'm a huge Wilford Brimley fan. I have a large framed picture of him in my living room, and another picture of him in my bedroom. I look at them constantly.
He actually has a pretty great poker face. He didn’t crack up in any of his previous appearances that I saw and almost made it through this ridiculous absurdity of hilarity.
Where are our darkest timeline goatees? When you have someone comedically massaging that oil or whatever on your bald head in front of an audience for TV you can't help but want to laugh😂
jim bob you can demand justice all you want, doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily get it. I’m not saying it isn’t worth fighting for. I’m acknowledging the near impossible difficulty of the situation. Getting rid of Pruitt didn’t get rid of the corruption, and the damage he’s already done.
EXACTLY. The night I found my elation turn to rage upon hearing that news. I know he's only there temporarily, but you know that Trump is going to appoint some other scumbag for the position. How someone does not give a f*** about the state of our planet is beyond me. Earth honestly would be better off without us because so many of us put personal gain above the well-being of others. It's sickening.
Rather an "out of the frying pan, into the fire" situation with pruitt being replaced by wheeler. Especially considering the climate change and all that's at stake.
LOL, I remember the last "Hunger to Leave Power Games". Had the same problem with not rehearsing. That one was SoState Tillerson leaving in a box of oil. That leaked onto the desk. So, at least this time, no leaks.
Anyone else find that Colbert nightly helps ward off the insanity my poor overloaded brain wants to escape in response to dumpster fire it is exposed to daily. Thank you Colbert.
Now that he has resigned, will all the investigations against Pruitt still carry on or are they scrapped? Will he be made to pay for his illegal activities? Will the taxpayers see justice delivered or not?
Bhagwat Shah it's America of course not lol he gets to walk away after blowing through tax payers money because well....it's murica. On a serious note FUCK AMERICA and what it's become
Yes, but only if republicans are actually willing to exercise oversight. Each department has an inspector general who investigates things like this, but the inspector general can't issue charges. He or she can only issue reports. It will be up to congress to do the hard work here. So, vote democrat and maybe he'll see justice.
Tyg Rahof yeah I thought about that. Even when tried, we are never getting that money back for the environment. This sick bastard really showed what he thought about the world and people’s money.
That was nice. I missed that segment and I love what he did to the doll... not to metion, it's hilarious when he does stuff and realised he should have rehearsed it.
Are you kidding me? He did the entire bit without his glasses?? This man is a national talent. Love him, get mad at him, but really: it's true. LOL God he's funny
Andros has gotten better at not cracking. Also, anyone else notice that Arbies horsie sauce is thick and white and comes out of a long hard tube in the restaurant?
Stephen, Your People Applaud You! Well Done Sir! I needed to see Scott Laid to rest. He was a Thorn in my Mind! That made me Believe in a Better America!
It was a really stupid monologue, yet I seriously laughed my ass off! Thank you Stephen. A little laughter after a horrible day will help me sleep well tonight!
Jokes about prison rape are not funny and show disregard for the humanity of incarcerated people. www.nytimes.com/2018/07/09/opinion/contributors/the-rape-jokes-we-still-laugh-at.html
8:00 "Let us bid farewell, to the fallen!" That dramatic moment [8:10] when Caligula turns toward the camera, as he too solemnly bids farewell to the latest fallen - PRICELESS!!! It's effing great to have you back, Stephen!
Does this mean he can no longer have his security detail? Don't they know about his punchablity factor? He won't survive a week out there amongst the common folk!
Eric Yates ... Not a problem in Pruitt’s Oklahoma. Two-thirds of its voters went for Trump. Not one county voted blue. Remarkable even when compared to other red states, where at least the city-dwellers have the sense to vote progressive. In Oklahoma, the petroleum industry is the wave of the future. We are in the chokehold of the fossil fuel industry (among a few others). And with dreadful consequences. Would we be at war now, if it weren’t for our grotesque dependence on it ?
OMFG I don't know how many tines I spit wine all over my laptop. This show gave me life!!! this was reminisent of Johnny Carson and his hilarious skits,
That sound proof box looks like the wrong side of the glory hole on Sunday morning.. Which is about he only job he's gonna be able to get now.. so.. apt.
Every so often I rewatch this just to get a chuckle out of Stephen rubbing lotion on the bald head of a staffer desperately trying not to burst into laughter... xDD
Joy Popoola We might never be able to put Trump in jail, but if enough of his staff are convicted, Trump will be forever remembered for the corruption, so he won’t have the lasting fame he craves. Small comfort
I did notice Wilford Brimley, but I thought it was his old lawyer, Ty Cobb, who also left.
Thought the exact same thing
Me too...
Ha! So did I, I thought it was Ty Cobb too, but the tinted glasses threw me. I was just moving closer to squint at my little screen when he revealed it.
Same.
I also noticed Wilford Brimley, but knew it was Wilford Brimley. That's because I'm a huge Wilford Brimley fan. I have a large framed picture of him in my living room, and another picture of him in my bedroom. I look at them constantly.
They need to give Caligula more screen time, his range and ability to emote so authentically leaves me breathless.
Stephen squinting at the teleprompter without his glasses was ridiculously adorable.
Or when he waved the cue-card guy nearer at 3:48
I dont get why he didn't get somebody to clean them... but oh well. It was entertaining!
Totes dorbs!
Better make sure Pruitt doesn't strip the copper wiring out of the walls and burn down the environment for the insurance money before he leaves.
KingOfMadCows thought you were gonna say for his crystal methamphetamine habit. Clever twist with that insurance bit. You had me hooked, friemd
Your comment lives in the space between tradgedy and hilarity. That's my favorite joke space so Thank You!😂
He’s going to leave with the $1500 pens
He already DID that is FIRST week in orifice...
athena icaria - retardis! 😂 Love it!
Nice!! Returning with some classic WEIRD Colbert!!! I love it.
KCG
I would "thumbs up" this comment but It's currently at 69
Colbert really started strong after the break.
666Tomato666 he's had a lot of stupid to feast on in the break.
Damnit! Andro was so close to not laughing!
i know! he almost can't resist XD
He actually has a pretty great poker face. He didn’t crack up in any of his previous appearances that I saw and almost made it through this ridiculous absurdity of hilarity.
Where are our darkest timeline goatees? When you have someone comedically massaging that oil or whatever on your bald head in front of an audience for TV you can't help but want to laugh😂
MrDjsmooth87 - It was Horsey sauce from Arbys 😂😂😂
Andro was so close to cumming.
Colbert is just awesome
Those blue eyebrows are everything Stephen.
This is just way too good.
Shouldn't Pruitt be prosecuted for all his indiscretions?
Life in prison for his part in a treasonous plot to bring on fascism.
Cheetos Ortiz you would figure.
Should? Definitely, will they do it? You'd have a shorter wait for the earth to spin in reverse.
You can't leave it up to others Kodan, if you don't demand justice you will never get justice.
jim bob you can demand justice all you want, doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily get it. I’m not saying it isn’t worth fighting for. I’m acknowledging the near impossible difficulty of the situation. Getting rid of Pruitt didn’t get rid of the corruption, and the damage he’s already done.
I love when he kinda messes up.
That HAS to be one of his best comedy segments ever. Bravo, Stephen!
Hey, I noticed Wilford Brimley the moment he popped on the screen. You can't fool me Stephen Colbert!
Clockwork Kubrick same here.
I thought it was a glitch.
I guess in these times, glitches are normal and snitches still get stitches.
This would be awesome if Pruitt wasn't replaced by Andrew Wheeler....
A coal lobbyist.
Well.... goodbye breathable air it was nice living with ya while it lasted
EXACTLY. The night I found my elation turn to rage upon hearing that news. I know he's only there temporarily, but you know that Trump is going to appoint some other scumbag for the position. How someone does not give a f*** about the state of our planet is beyond me. Earth honestly would be better off without us because so many of us put personal gain above the well-being of others.

It’s literally called “Environmental Protection Agency”
It’s like hiring a rapist for a place called “Rape and Abuse Trauma Counseling”
Rather an "out of the frying pan, into the fire" situation with pruitt being replaced by wheeler. Especially considering the climate change and all that's at stake.
sprybug, yup... #FillTheSwamp
I genuinely thought that was Tye Cobb before he said it was Wilford Brimley
Same here.
Diabeetus.
LOL, I remember the last "Hunger to Leave Power Games".
Had the same problem with not rehearsing. That one was SoState Tillerson leaving in a box of oil. That leaked onto the desk.
So, at least this time, no leaks.
that is more than the whitehouse can say
And this is how one correctly waxes one's weasel.
Crimson Halo 🤣make sure to always get the base
😅😅😅
Is that what that thing was? I thought it was an otter.
Walt F., it's a stuffed mink. Same family. Lol.
You're absolutely right!
Thanks for clearing that up.
It's still gonna smell musky after a good stroking, though.
brilliant performance from Colbert!
Love Caligula
Why oh why does Stephen take these breaks?
Dont leave us Colbert!
I can't imagine how Andro kept a straight face. Almost cracked, but didn't. Dang.
5:32 the guy trying is best not to crack up.... priceless xD
Only thing that box is missing is that used hotel mattress Pruitt so coveted.
Anyone else find that Colbert nightly helps ward off the insanity my poor overloaded brain wants to escape in response to dumpster fire it is exposed to daily. Thank you Colbert.
Now that he has resigned, will all the investigations against Pruitt still carry on or are they scrapped?
Will he be made to pay for his illegal activities? Will the taxpayers see justice delivered or not?
Bhagwat Shah it's America of course not lol he gets to walk away after blowing through tax payers money because well....it's murica. On a serious note FUCK AMERICA and what it's become

He or she can only issue reports. It will be up to congress to do the hard work here. So, vote democrat and maybe he'll see justice.
WOW!!!!
How very American is that!!!!
:(
He is still under investigation by for like a dozen of the many things he did wrong. I don't think he'll ever see the inside of a cell. He's rich now.
sadly - in trump's america - u r right :(
Andro was enjoying the the head massage a little too much.😂🤣🤨 dude was cracking up.
Scott pruitted his tactical pants in sheer panic, when that one tough lady and her one tough little baby boy confronted him as he was eating.
camelshit Brilliant!
😅😅😅
So clever, love when Stephen does this bit 😊 ❤ Caligula ❤
The sad part is that; though fired; he still left with a boat load of OUR money which he didn't deserve. As do all the fired ones.
Tyg Rahof yeah I thought about that. Even when tried, we are never getting that money back for the environment. This sick bastard really showed what he thought about the world and people’s money.
He should have to pay out of pocket for the rest of his life to all environmental groups
ForeverMe543 And Trump should be imprisoned in Mexico, and have to pay the mexican government for the prison.
DISTRICT FANCY PENS hrhrhr priceless
Stephen Colbert is BACK.
Is he the same fellow who wasted $1500 of taxpayer money on tactical pants?
Yes
What lol
tactical pants?
lazyperfectionist1 yup
How else you going to kill the environment? Tactal-pants.
Welcome back Stephen 🤣
Omg. When he sprayed his glasses. I. Fell. Out.
As a wearer of glasses, I just thought: "Oh boy - these glasses are pretty useless now!"
Lizagna73 I immediately thought....uhhh Ste...Steven WAIT🤣
Spat my toothpaste on screen 😂😂😂😂
Laughed OUT LOUD so much!!! Thumbs up
Of course, the Swamp Master, Trump, immediately replaced Pruitt with a coal lobbyist as the new head of the EPA.
PN Houle Oh he's a scumbag don't you know!
It’s literally called “Environmental Protection Agency”
It’s like hiring a rapist for a place called “Rape and Abuse Trauma Counseling”
PN Houle Genius isn't it?😂
see, trump doesn’t listen to lobbyists...he puts them in his cabinet!
That was nice. I missed that segment and I love what he did to the doll... not to metion, it's hilarious when he does stuff and realised he should have rehearsed it.
Steven is so good......I’m dying🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
oh Andro! I've missed so!!!!! Your deafening silence brings a warm ringing to my ears!!!
Are you kidding me? He did the entire bit without his glasses?? This man is a national talent. Love him, get mad at him, but really: it's true. LOL God he's funny
O.M.G. Stephen you do it Every time! Definitely helped me blow off more of that stenchy steam from the Trump Dump. Soooooo Hilarious and Well Done.
Now, the coal lobbyist next.
I love it when Colbert goes off script... feels like he’s flexing his improv muscles.
Andro was trying so hard not to laugh lol
"In a soundproof booth, no one can hear you scream...."
"I only hire the best people!" - Donald Trump
Jason Jimerson 😆
So many scumbags....It's too much to hope that the replacement will be any better on any level sadly
Mark xkx
He's not. Andrew Wheeler was a coal lobbyist and Pruitt protege.
Andros has gotten better at not cracking. Also, anyone else notice that Arbies horsie sauce is thick and white and comes out of a long hard tube in the restaurant?
"May the Supreme Court be ever in your favor...."
How tf does Andro hold it in?
Almost.
Barely.
Must be thinking about baseball. Or the Puppy Channel.
Daniel Baqueiro - would love it if Jon Stewart filled in for Andro once in a while. 😄
He has my admiration for even keeping his cool as much as he did, considering what was happening at the time...
Stephen, Your People Applaud You! Well Done Sir! I needed to see Scott Laid to rest. He was a Thorn in my Mind! That made me Believe in a Better America!
Andres Virgen
His replacement is just as bad. He worked as a coal lobbyist.
lol they bleeped 'butt stuff'?
He should not be allowed to leave without paying us back. What kind of crap is this where someone can just quit and not be held accountable.
I did notice Wilford Brimley. I deserve a cookie!
DOOMBRINGER ... Me too. Make mine beef jerky.
Come to the dark side then 😉
I missed this. I can't go a week without this show. It keeps me sane. I don't know how I survived last week.
Is that Trump's hair Colbert is petting?
Frankie Says how dare you insult Caligula like that?... By mixing up him with his identical twin cousin, Caligula 😉
Frankie Says 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was a really stupid monologue, yet I seriously laughed my ass off! Thank you Stephen. A little laughter after a horrible day will help me sleep well tonight!
Won't be the last time Pruitt will be locked in a cell covered in strange white fluids and without anyone to hear his screams.
Sitting alone at my 'puter at 4:00 a.m., I STILL blushed!
sonyahannah Gross? Absolutely. But then again so are his abuses of tax payer money.
we can only hope
Nice I pray that is the outcum
Jokes about prison rape are not funny and show disregard for the humanity of incarcerated people. www.nytimes.com/2018/07/09/opinion/contributors/the-rape-jokes-we-still-laugh-at.html
I loved all of these back in the day. I wanna see Stephen reviving this bit at some point.
Keep that moisturizer around for prison Scott Pruitt.
jim bob hahahahahaha
jim bob 😂😃
Scott is on the take like Trump
You can see Andro trying not to laugh...
Literally my favorite segments that Colbert does
I'm so glad Steven got a much deserved break. This is epic :D
I LOVE YOU STEPHEN...WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT YOU!!!!
Looks like he deserves the title " King of Scandals"
king pot scruitt
For now.
Ichijo Festival are you saying it's a multilevel scandal marketing scheme?
He did say he would drain the swamp... never said he wouldnt dump in it first
Andro for SCOTUS
How does he keep a straight face doing this bit. It is too funny!
"I can feel the brain damage already"
The best send off ever!
Did i read scott pen** on the wall at the end??? LOOOOL
I had to back and check it out,, yup it said penis..lol
I saw Pruitt... Lol
8:00 "Let us bid farewell, to the fallen!"
That dramatic moment [8:10] when Caligula turns toward the camera, as he too solemnly bids farewell to the latest fallen - PRICELESS!!!
It's effing great to have you back, Stephen!

Brilliant!
I'll have some of whatever Stephen's on, please. May the odds be ever in Steve's favor!
This is the most brilliant one of these yet
A lot of "God" talk in this administration... If that's the actual God I think I prefer hell...
OMFG I don't know how many tines I spit wine all over my laptop. This show gave me life!!! this was reminisent of Johnny Carson and his hilarious skits,
So funny 😂
this is one of the more crazy bits on Colbert's show. Love it!
That sound proof box looks like the wrong side of the glory hole on Sunday morning.. Which is about he only job he's gonna be able to get now.. so.. apt.
“This is why you do this shit in rehearsal” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never watched that show, but still loved this.
Oh that "HA HA!" is a blast from the past.
they bleeped buttstuff lool
The ad-lib regarding the face spray was priceless! Only Colbert could manage that with aplomb and hilarity.
When will Steve Mnuchin get fired too?
REHEARSAL! IS! EVERYTHING!..but still laughing my ass off thank you colbert
Don't impeach the President, where will I get my future laughs? Back to the wit of I Love Lucy, I guess?
Every so often I rewatch this just to get a chuckle out of Stephen rubbing lotion on the bald head of a staffer desperately trying not to burst into laughter... xDD
I blame Colbert for all the crushes I have been having on men older than 45.
The Power Games skits are the most bizarre and the most funniest stuff on the Late Show. Stephen absolutely shines during them.
Scrubbing his calendar was a federal offense, the last straw! He represents the very nature of the people of the Capitol depicted in Hunger Games!
Joy Popoola We might never be able to put Trump in jail, but if enough of his staff are convicted, Trump will be forever remembered for the corruption, so he won’t have the lasting fame he craves. Small comfort
Terrific!
I think america is actually on auto-pilot until someone reasonable comes to steer it, otherwise it would’ve crashed
The auto-pilot ended Jan 20 2017, now it's soaring.
I have missed the “Hungry for...” series! I hope Stephen keeps doing them!!
What blend did the writers smoke to conceive this?
wimpy Indian teen The Prius coffee blend🌿🌿🌿😊
All of them.
wimpy Indian teen it was the lotion...
chlorpyrifos
“Turned down help at LensCrafters “ lmao
