Stephen Colbert used Monday’s episode of “The Late Show” to revisit some of the segments that never made it to air ahead of his final program this Thursday.
And it included a very cheeky bit on election night in 2016 about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton that was scrapped at the last minute as it appeared she would lose to GOP rival Donald Trump.
“So, why do we have all this stuff that never made it to air? A lot of reasons,” Colbert explained.
“For one, sometimes the world just doesn’t cooperate. Like during the 2016 presidential election, we were doing a live special on Showtime, no commercial breaks, and as the results started to come in, it became clear that we had planned for a different outcome,” the comedian continued.
“We were so sure that The New York Times prediction needle was right, we hired a bunch of naked male models with the words, ‘I’m with her,’ painted on their full plump butts,” Colbert recalled, referring to the pro-Clinton slogan.
“Sadly, all of those models had to be put down,” he joked.
Colbert added that producers initially “tried to save the bit,” revealing: “And as the outcome became clear, we repainted their butts to say, ‘We’re fucked.’”
