Robert Kraft, Patriots owner and friend of President Trump, was allegedly caught on camera at a Florida day spa "getting, let's say, a hand employment," Stephen Colbert said on Monday's Late Show, setting up a series of barely safe-for-work jokes. "This story got even seamier when it came out that the founder of the massage parlor company, Cindy Yang, attended Trump's Super Bowl party at Mar-a-Lago," he said. "Well of course she went to Trump's Super Bowl party — we know she was pulling for Bob Kraft."

"Now to be fair, Cindy Yang no longer owns the Orchids of Asia Day Spa," Colbert said, "because now she's running a more profitable business that sold Chinese business executives access to President Trump at Mar-a-Lago. ... National security experts say that Yang could pose a threat, presenting opportunities for espionage or blackmail targeting the president's inner circle — targeting your inner circle, by the way, also available at her massage parlors, small up-fee." That was Colbert's eighth consecutive massage parlor jokes, which he said is a world record, so he went for nine: "This sordid story really does have a happy ending."
