Why Stephen Colbert Didn’t Watch Republican Convention: “Lies Stick To Your Soul Like Hot Tar”
Greg Evans Associate Editor/Broadway CriticStephen Colbert didn’t watch a minute of last night’s Republican National Convention, and feels all the better for it.“I know by not watching the RNC I didn’t do my job tonight,” the host of CBS’ The Late Show said in an intense monologue last night (watch it above). “And I just want to say: I feel great about it….Why subject ourselves to their lies that stick to your soul like hot tar? Lies like: Donald Trump cares whether you live or die.”In the intense monologue, Colbert addressed COVID-19 deaths, “Rambo wannabes,” Hurricane Laura, the police shooting of Jacob Blake and the NBA’s strike.
