Stephen Colbert Sends Brutal Invitation To Donald Trump In ‘60 Minutes’ Spoof

“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday ― ahead of his interview with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris ― assumed the role of “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley to extend a withering offer to former president and current GOP nominee Donald Trump.

CBS News’ “60 Minutes” began on Monday with Pelley explaining how Trump “backed out” from its customary October-of-an-election-year interview with presidential candidates. The show still interviewed Harris.

Colbert put a spoof spin on Pelley’s announcement.

“Good evening, it has been a tradition here at the ‘Late Show’ since yesterday that the major party candidates sit down with me for an interview in October,” he began.

“We invited Kamala Harris to be our guest this evening, and she accepted. That interview in a moment,” the comedian continued.

Then he zinged, “In the interest of fairness, we also invited former President Donald Trump to go fuck himself. He declined our offer.”
