Afrigather ”The Late Present“ turned the tables on the Fox Information host in trademark style
“The Late Present” (CBS)
“The Late Present with Stephen Colbert” acquired the final chortle Tuesday evening on Tucker Carlson — or a minimum of the most recent one — after the uber Fox Information host falsely lauded colleague Greg Gutfeld for beating out Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel in TV scores.
The geniuses behind “The Late Present” faux information alerts delivered the comedic blow, mocking the information from Monday that Home Speaker Kevin McCarthy had handed over all of the obtainable surveillance footage from the Jan. 6 rebel to Carlson, for him to do with what he pleases.
A mash-up of two anchors breaking down the information kicks the section off, calling Carlson “one of the crucial outstanding promoters of conspiracy theories in regards to the January sixth rebel” with MSNBC’s Pleasure Reid attending to the guts of the matter and what the main Fox Information host will probably do — “he’s gonna use this footage, comb by it and create this kind of alternate narrative to January sixth.”
The bit then takes a flip for laughs, with a narrator saying Colbert’s present had acquired Carlson’s “alternate narrative” earlier than rolling it out, which within the wonderful type of “Late Present” faux information alerts featured a theme tune voiced over Jan. 6 video and a caption that highlighted the lyrics — with a bouncing Tucker Carlson head.
“What a brilliant day — January sixth,” the tune begins, tipping off the sarcasm from the leap.
“Plenty of pleasant phrases, chirping birds, afterwards all of the home windows had been mounted,” it continues, earlier than references to QAnon, a jogging Josh Hawley and the hangman’s noose meant for then-VP Mike Pence, right here known as “a swing set constructed for one.”
The faux information alert comes lower than every week after Carlson took a dig at Colbert, saying the late-night host was scared to inform genuine jokes whereas congratulating the Fox Information late-night present “Gutfeld!” for overtaking Colbert and different exhibits in scores, which it in truth didn’t.
