Stephen Colbert Just Hijacked the Stage at the Republican Convention (VIDEO)

Stephen Colbert Just Hijacked the Stage at the Republican Convention (VIDEO)

Late night host Stephen Colbert is already creating havoc at the Republican National Convention, a full day before delegates meet in Cleveland.

In a video posted to Twitter, Colbert rushes the microphone on the main stage wearing a fluorescent blue hairpiece. He then proceeds to mock Donald Trump and Mike Pence while pretending to gavel in the “Republican Hunger Games” before being hurried off the stage by RNC security:


Beautiful.

I am going to the live broadcast of The Late Show tomorrow night, and I'm looking forward to seeing this, as I'm sure it will be part of the show.

Or perhaps the classic trap door in the stage to end acts abruptly.

Or a big velvet curtain that drops over the entire stage with "One Moment Please!" in scrolly gold letters.
