The Joy Machine Goes Dark
Once again, from a kind and thoughtful Canadian neighbor quoting Stephen - “This show has been a joy for us to do for you."
"Notably, Trump’s name was never spoken. Not in the monologue, not anywhere. The closest the show came was McCartney recalling how Sullivan-era makeup artists once caked the Beatles in so much bronzer they looked “bright orange” — and Colbert, deadpan, observing that this is “very popular in certain circles.” The grace of not naming him was its own kind of statement."

May Colbert continue skewering gently, pointedly, and persistently in his new gig.
