Stephen Colbert lampoons Donald Trump’s Fox & Friends rebuke after president claimed he would call into the show every week
Stephen Colbert has poked fun at a Fox & Friends sequence in which Donald Trump claimed he would call into the show on a weekly basis — only to be swiftly rebuked by anchor Steve Doocy.
The late-night host addressed the moment on his show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, on Tuesday.
He began by playing a clip of the president speaking to Fox & Friends over the phone, at one point claiming: “We’re gonna do it every week. Every Monday, I think they said. And if we can’t do it on a Monday, we’ll do it on a Tuesday, like we did today.”
Fox & Friends co-anchors Brian Kilmeade and Ainsley Earhardt appeared to acquiesce, with Kilmeade replying: “Sounds good” and Earhardt nodding.
Doocy, however, had a different response. “You may want to do it every week,” he told Trump, “but Fox is not committed to that. We’re going to take it on a case-by-case basis.”
After the sequence played, Colbert mused: “Wow. That is cold! That’s like ending a day with, ‘So, I’ll see you next Saturday and every Saturday after that.' She says, ‘You may want to see me next Saturday but Katy is not committed to that, we’ll take it on a case-by-case basis. No tongue.'"
He added: “I just think Steve Doocy’s not that into you.”
