Stephen Colbert Has 'Glorious' Idea For What He'd Do As Trump For The Day
HuffPost
The "Late Show" host teased how he would "go out on top" if he inhabited the president's body.
Stephen Colbert offered what he called a “predictable answer” when asked which person’s body he’d slip into for 24 hours.
“I would slip inside the skin of our president and I would resign,” said the “Late Show” host with a chuckle during Slate’s “Political Gabfest” 20th anniversary show last month.
Colbert, a frequent Donald Trump critic who’s faced repeated attacks from the president, told former CBS Evening News anchor John Dickerson there’d be “no scandal” and “no confession” upon his imaginary resignation as Trump.
″[I’d] just go, ‘It’s been great, I’m a wonderful — I’m the best ever. I’m going to go out on top, I’ve done everything. I’m just going to go,’ that’s it. It can be a glorious ending. Just end it,” he added.
Moments after New York Times Magazine staff writer Emily Bazelon suggested there could be a problem if people find out about Colbert’s bodily takeover, the “Late Show” host chimed in with a “harrowing follow-up question” about Trump.
