Stephen Colbert Hammers Seth Meyers On The Irresponsibility of Fake News


Seth Meyers rolled by The Colbert Report last night and Colbert cut right to the bone! No pussyfooting around. He asked straight-up if Seth feels any remorse for young people's reliance on Weekend Update's "fake news," rather than "mainstream straight news options" like The Colbert Report. Colbert went on to wonder aloud – just speculating, of course – why he's never been asked to host SNL. He's right that the two shows really don't cross paths that much, so the idea of Colbert as a host sounds incredibly fun but also a tiny bit strange. Like eating pop rocks or sitting in a deep-tissue massage chair.
