‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' News: Donald Trump Squares Off With Host [Watch]
"The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert squared off with Donald Trump in a segment that throws back to his old days of playing a comical headlined faux conservative on "The Colbert Report."
According to Deadline, it is no secret that when late night talk show hosts have Trump on, it tends to be gold for ratings. Such was the case the week before when Jimmy Fallon had him on his show.
"I want to thank you, not only for being here, but for running for president," Colbert told Trump when he brought him out. "I'm not going to say this stuff writes itself, but you certainly do deliver it on time every day."
But the segment with Trump on "The Late Show" had the two squaring off in an old-fashioned fake wrestling recipe, where Colbert graciously brought out the 2016 Presidential Republican nominee candidate to play a game.
The game they played was a throw back in every possible way to Colbert's early days playing the part of the fake headlined conservative. The name of the game was "Who Said It?" and it featured Colbert saying quotes that have headlined conservative messages inherent to them. The object of the game was for Trump to identify which one of them said the quote -- faux Colbert or Donald Trump.
Near the end of the game, Colbert threw Trump a curveball and quoted a line that he could not place with either of them: "The real strong have no need to prove it to the phonies."
Trump was obviously stumped and could not quite say either way. But that was because the quote was from notorious mass-murderer Charles Manson.
