Stephen Colbert skewers 'thirsty' George Santos for attending Biden's State of the Union

Stephen Colbert had a later night than usual, staying up for a live show after President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address.
On Thursday's live episode of "Late Night," Colbert began with jokes about Biden's entrance as the Democrats chanted "four more years." The comedian quipped that four more years is how long it took the president to make his entrance.
Upon reaching the podium, Biden made a reference to Franklin D. Roosevelt's SOTU address in 1941 to which Colbert joked the 81-year-old president saw live.
The "Late Night" host cranked up the heat as he skewered the "thirsty" audience at Biden's address.
"Thanks to rules giving former members of Congress floor access, George Santos attended the State of the Union," he said of the former New York representative who was expelled from the House last year.
"Come on! You can’t just go back to your old job like you never left. Unless you’re Jon Stewart. Keep it up, Jon. You’re crushing it," he added, referring to Stewart's temporary return to "The Daily Show" after a nine-year hiatus.
Colbert then took aim at House Speaker Mike Johnson, joking about how close he was positioned to Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Because he was standing that close to a woman, his son got an alert on his phone," the comedian quipped, a dig at Johnson's admission in 2022 during a discussion at Louisiana’s Cypress Baptist Church where he revealed he has an app that alerts his son when he's looking at inappropriate content and vice versa.
At the time, Johnson said he was once alerted about "questionable" content viewed by his son but it was just "two middle aged teachers" having a discussion.

Colbert also took notice of who didn't attend Biden's SOTU.
"Ahead of the president’s arrival, members of the Supreme Court filed in. Interestingly, Justice Clarence Thomas did not attend. It’s nice to know he’s willing to recuse himself from something," he quipped.
