Stephen Colbert 'Colludes' With Russians [Late-Night TV Clip Of The Week]

Stephen Colbert brought his quirky brand of commentary to Russia.

For years, politicians — especially presidents — have been a favorite target of late-night TV hosts, especially during their monologues. Each week, Patch will bring you our pick for the late-night talk show political clip of the week.

This week, we've chosen Stephen Colbert and his appearance on the Russian state-run TV show "Evening Urgant," where he said, "You’re the No. 1 show here, and this is the state TV, so you’re officially an employee of the state ... and we — what’s the word for it? — colluded that I would be on your show, so I look forward to going back to America and testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee about colluding with Russians. Thank you for the opportunity.” (For more national political news, sign up for the free White House Patch email newsletter.)
