Stephen Colbert Reveals What Really Happened to His Staff When They Were Detained by Capitol Police

Stephen Colbert is addressing the arrest of his The Late Show staff members at the Capitol Building last week.

Some members of Colbert‘s staff were at the Capitol in Washington D.C. to film a segment with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

“How was your weekend?” Colbert joked at the beginning of his monologue on Monday (June 20). “I certainly had an interesting one, because some of my staff had a memorable one.”

He continued, “Triumph offered to go down to D.C. to interview some Congress people to highlight some January 6 hearings. I said, ‘Sure, if you can get anyone to agree to talk to you. Because, and please don’t take this as an insult, you’re a puppet.”
