President Trump called into Fox & Friends on Thursday morning, and "this interview was insane," Stephen Colbert said on Thursday's Late Show. "It was rambling; it was so loud, it sounded like he was shouting the whole time." Colbert joked his way through the interview, from Trump's birthday present for Melania to his musings on Michael Cohen's business, how he definitely didn't collude with Russia (just ask Vladimir Putin), his threat to maybe fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and his complaints about NBC and CNN while insisting "he doesn't watch the thing he spends every waking moment complaining about."

"Neither Fox nor Friend could get in a word edgewise," Colbert said. "The whole time this is going on, the curvy couchlings just sat there stunned, mouths slacked, glassy-eyed, wondering what to do. And we at The Late Show have obtained exclusive recordings of the Fox & Friends' inner monologues while they listened to Donald Trump unravel."
