Ellen Page savages Mike Pence on Stephen Colbert's Late Show, lashing him to Jussie Smollett's beating

Ellen Page savages Mike Pence over gay rights

Actress Ellen Page was Stephen Colbert's guest on Thursday's Late Show, and if you want to know more about her new Netflix show, The Umbrella Academy, this isn't really your late-night clip. She and Colbert discussed her one-year-old marriage, Hollywood's slightly improving record on LGBT issues, and the environment, all issues Page clearly cares deeply about.

"We've been told, as we know it, that by 2030, the world as we know it, that's it," Page said. "That's it. If it was a movie, we'd have Bruce Willis in a suit, like talking about something — please cast me," she deadpanned. "Please, Amy Adams, save us." She said climate change's reality isn't any more of a "debate" than the hate crime against Jussie Smollett.
