    What I love is how she proved her point by doing just the kind of humour she was exemplifying. Stephen looks so charmed, her eloquence is magnetic.

      She was insinuating how unfunny women find men when they fail to produce orgasm for women.

    • @cymbeline4
      @cymbeline4 5 років тому +14

      Iris Lee Not really, the sense of humour stands for sexual arousal, as the joke stands for the orgasm. She was referring to the women who can‘t come because their partners simply don‘t do what is necessary to arouse them.

      Not to be a downer, but we don’t know she wrote the joke. It’s quite possible Colbert’s writers script things like this to make guests look good. I know some celebrities have their own writers so they always have something interesting to say. Colbert doesn’t even speak off the cuff. He’s mostly scripted. She might be the rare celeb that doesn’t but as famous as she probably has people for all parts of her presentation.
