The Late Show is back for its final season. Host Stephen Colbert kicked off his return from break with a look at the rampant speculation over the weekend that Donald Trump had died.

“When I came to the office I was shocked to learn that this weekend the biggest story was frenzied social media rumors speculating whether Donald Trump had died,” Colbert said. “For the record, Donald is very much alive.” When the audience booed, Colbert noted, “We like our presidents alive.”

I know Colbert is a has been, but his audience booed when hearing the news Trump is alive.

Biden, couldn't do press conferences for months(or at all) and conservatives would not boo hearing that Biden was still alive.

JMO, it shows the hate of the radical liberal democrats and their TDS.

It shows that demonrats are mentally ill.

I wonder if Trump is just doing something out of his ordinary just to get the media to go on a wild goose chase. If he isn’t, he should. Tie the media and the left in knots chasing vapors.

[Kleon]

The bags were AI slop.

[Bon of Babble]

Can’t wait for this guy to just disappear into the ether never to be heard from again.

[I want the USA back]

Political commentary disguised as “humor.” Nothing funny about that.

“ his audience booed when hearing the news Trump is alive.”

Ya. That’s not only wrong it bears investigation

But his audience responds to his yammering like trained seals. There’s a director there telling what to do and say. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were paid actors. The same pole every day

[Opinionated Blowhard]

one of the only signs that he might still be around was music in the Rose Garden, which the White House confirmed was the president’s music. which I’ve got to say is not the strongest proof of life. Yes nurse I do see that flat line, but the patient is clearly alive because his iPhone is playing ‘Papa Loves Mambo.'”

He has 90 writers and a $100 million annual budget, and this is the best joke they can come up with?

Dems are toast and even Mona Charen knows it.

The audience needs to be deported via Helecopter.

[stevio]

F’ him and his audience.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I guarantee you the President Trump will outlive Steven Colbert.
