With most late-night hosts on holiday, Stephen Colbert recapped Donald Trump’s prime-time national address on the war in Iran and his firing of the US attorney general, Pam Bondi. “Speaking of human waste, just a few hours ago we learnt that President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi,” he told the audience at the Ed Sullivan Theater. But “saying that the villain of the Epstein files is Pam Bondi is like saying the lead in Die Hard is the dad from Family Matters”, Colbert joked. Now let’s go to the strip mall and get you a new attorney general, buddy.”“OK, I’ve put it off long enough,” Colbert then said, before finally addressing Trump’s Wednesday-night prime-time address about his military actions in Iran. “It was all the stuff you’ve heard before but now delivered by a narcotized turtle,” the host explained.
