Stephen Colbert on Tuesday hosted former Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, handing her a touching packet of jokes The Late Show host planned to tell on election nightif shed won.
Discussing his Showtime special, Colbert noted he watched the results in realtime before a live audience.
I was not happy about this, Colbert said of finding out Donald Trump would be president. The audience that night was, honest to God, on the edge of tears. It was like we were all at a funeral in this room. And I was drinking a fair amount of bourbon.

(6,238 posts)I remember waking up the day after the election thinking "God, I had the worst dream." Then I saw the news alert on my phone. "Hillary Clinton Delivers Concession Speech in New York City." I went back to bed. In fact, I kind of want to just stay in bed until election day 2018 and 2020. I'll emerge to vote, but I don't want to awake for this.

(206,251 posts)I had dental surgery on election day. I fell asleep on the couch watching the returns and woke up around 3am to see Trump standing there with his entire extended family! It was so damn unbelievable that I was sure I must be having a bad dream - and I still hope so many times that I'm going to finally wake up from it...
