White House adviser Stephen Miller said he'd go on any show. Stephen Colbert makes it happen.

White House policy chief Stephen Miller went on almost all the Sunday talks shows last weekend, and while President Trump tweeted out an attaboy, Miller was generally derided for doubling down on Trump's widely debunked claim that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election. "I'm prepared to go on any show, anywhere, any time, and repeat it," Miller said on ABC News' This Week. On Monday's Late Show, Stephen Colbert took Stephen Miller's words literally but not seriously, and the result is what appear to be very boring outtakes on shows like The Big Bang Theory and Game of Thrones.
