Stephen Colbert’s Hilarious and Hair-Raising Tactic to Ruffle Fox News Feathers: You Won’t Believe What He Did

Stephen Colbert Taunts Fox News With A Hair-Raising Way To Make Them Angry

The fur was flying on “The Late Show” on Wednesday night.

 

 

Fox News took its right-wing cancel culture to a new extreme this week when a number of its on-air hosts came out against puppies and kittens.

And “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert was here for the drama.

The various hosts of “Outnumbered” had a full-on freakout over a report that found highly emotional college students may benefit from petting cats. Past research also found a benefit from petting dogs.

“I don’t need to be coddling a puppy. I need my, you know, organic chemistry book if I’m in premed here,” Kayleigh McEnany said. “This is insanity. Give me a cup of coffee, a cookie and a stack of books and I’m set.”

That comment struck Colbert as a little hypocritical.

“Wait a minute! You need a comfort cookie? With a cup of snowflake coffee?” he asked. “Oh, I bet you studied in some sort of ‘safe’ building that was up to code. I spent my college years outside naked shouting essays right up my professor’s drainpipe.”

Another host griped that no one will hand you a puppy “in the real world.”

Colbert agreed, saying they can hand you two instead, and brought out a pair of pups and cooed at them as the audience cheered.

“Who makes Fox News angry?” he asked the pups. “You do! Yes you do!”
