Stephen Colbert made his appearance as 'The Late Show's' new host Tuesday night, and Donald Trump's presidential campaign was already on Colbert's agenda. However, it wasn't the usual presidential campaign coverage, as the host used Oreo cookies to illustrate Donald Trump's political platform.
Why use Oreos?
Since trump blames Mexicans for the shutdown of a Chicago Nabisco factory, adding that he is vowing to never eat the yummy snacks again, Colbert saw it fit to use Oreos to describe Trump's campaign.
According to The Los Angeles Times, the hit at Trump "felt like 'The Colbert Report' on a bigger, beautifully renovated stage."
In the video of the Donald Trump Oreos monologue, Colbert is seen sitting behind a massive, semicircular desk while images were shown above his right shoulder.
"Someone on TV should have a modicum of dignity, and it could be me," the host said, while repeatedly going back for "just one more" Oreo/Trump joke until his face was reportedly completely covered with cookie dust.
Colbert also joked about Trump deporting Keebler Elves, calling the presidential candidate an "Oompa Loompa-merican," according to Food Beast.
Below is Colbert's hilarious monologue.
Colbert's debut at the set of "The Late Show" Tuesday night comes after months of speculation by America. Revealing a Stephen Colbert like the one the public already knows, "the real Stephen Colbert" joked about politics, his narcissism and appeared to have had fun with the format of the talk show, just like in "The Colbert Report."
"With this show, I begin to search for the real Stephen Colbert," he said. "I just hope I don't find him on Ashley Madison."
Colbert also didn't miss the opportunity to recognize Letterman, who served as the show's host for 22 years.
"We will try to honor his legacy by making the best show we can, and occasionally, making the network very mad at us," said Colbert.
The premiere of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" was viewed by over 6.6 million viewers, according to CBS Wednesday, citing Nielsen ratings. He may yet to be labeled "king of late night," but the ratings of the show during his debut was more than 130 percent as compared to the show's ratings last year, reported Yahoo.
