Stephen Colbert needed to apologize to his studio viewers on Tuesday for an sudden cause: They knew greater than he anticipated.
The “Late Evening” host noticed a report that new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been given the nickname “dishy Rishi” as he’s “thought of by many to be very good-looking.”
That led to a joke in regards to the temporary tenure of former British Prime Minister Liz Truss, who resigned after simply 44 days in workplace.
“So a lot better than their final prime minister’s nickname: ’Hey… chief… there ya are, that’s the girl over there,” Colbert stated. “We’ll by no means know, she wasn’t there lengthy sufficient to put in writing her title down.”
The viewers reacted with just a few chuckles and a groaned “ohhhh.”
“Actually? Ohhhh!” he stated, mimicking the response. “Ohhhh for the final prime minister, you possibly can’t title her title!”
Then he challenged his viewers: “On three, let’s all say her title.”
“Holy shit!” Colbert stated, taking off his glasses because the viewers cheered. “Please settle for my apologies.”
