Monday's six-hour Facebook outage affected people all over the world, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who lost $6 billion, Stephen Colbert said on Tuesday's Late Show. "$6 billion! Just 115 more to go and he'll have to sell his old stuff on Facebook Marketplace." He reluctantly turned to the newest tell-all involving former President Donald Trump, this one by former Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham.
"We sell a lot of books for our guests, but I don't want to help her sell a single copy of her tell-all about the time she told us nothing," Colbert said. "That's why I'm going to spoil all the juicy details of I'll Take Your Money Now. In the book, Grisham uses a lot of colorful language to describe the administration, calling it 'a clown car on fire running at full speed into a warehouse full of fireworks' — or as Fox News would put it, 'A brave band of flaming harlequins rushing patriotically into the explosive jaws of danger.'" Colbert also ran through revelations about Trump's family and "Sen. Freeloader," Lindsey Graham.
