Stephen Colbert on Wednesday lauded the star of this week's viral video, in which an adorable 5-year-old child "apparently" makes his first live television appearance.

But in doing so, Colbert deeply offended Fox News' Sean Hannity.

Colbert calls the child a "natural-born newsman" and jokes that he is leaving the "Colbert Report" because "news anchor babies like this are breathing down my neck."

"At 5 years old, he’s already got the sincerity of Edward R. Murrow, the reassuring gaze of Walter Cronkite and more gravitas than Steve Doocy," Colbert said.

Colbert also noted that he already has his own "apparently" catchphrase.

2. Aw, poor baby.

Hey, Hannity? I've seen Stephen 'not funny'. I've seen him sincere, compassionate and involved. Things that are foreign to you.

Stephen was wrong, you can't be replaced by a 5 year old. A 5 year old would have too much class.

8. Agreed

To replace Sean, you need an infant.

3. Hey Hannity they booted you to 10pm and now you are constantly sent out of studio

Get a clue they are moving you towards the door or into the basement.

Oh it sure sounds like Sean cares.

Would Colbert wear mirror sunglasses ?

4. This upsets me too...

A five year old child is far too intelligent to be wasted taking Hannity's place.

How about a two year old?

5. At least the 5 year old wouldn't be so naive to fall for the Cliven Bundy bullshit

6. A five year old anything could replace shovelface.

All it would need to do is babble, part it's hair in the middle, and cock it's head now and then.

7. Uh-oh. You don't do that unless you want to make it worse, Sean.

We'll see what Stephen does tonight.

11. Pass the butter, this should be good!

9. Sean literally skipped the sense of humor line, apparently.

10. Sean literally does not have

a sense of humor - literally!
And he literally looked really stupid in that baseball hat.
