Stephen Colbert Was Very Upset That He Missed Ted Cruz Liking Porn On Twitter, But He Found A Way To Make Up For It

Stephen Colbert was off in his own La La Land last week while preparing for his role as Emmys host, meaning he missed a lot of big news that he’d normally cover on The Late Show. Typically he’d just move forward and forget about what was missed, picking up the pieces and keeping the news fresh for his viewers. But Ted Cruz forced the host to break that trend and cover an old story on his first show back on Tuesday.

Colbert might’ve had to chat with Hillary Clinton and Emma Stone, a pretty daunting task for even the greatest television host, but he still found time at the end of the show to address Ted Cruz and his porno misadventure on Twitter. You would assume that all of the jokes had been told by this point and we should let those sleeping dogs lie, but you’d be wrong because Colbert and his crew created their own adult film made especially for Ted Cruz.

Sure, we might have a taste of what makes Cruz’s heart start to speed up, but Colbert thinks he has the magic formula to give Cruz the satisfaction he craves from his life. The only thing missing is the Campbell’s Chunky soup and random assault weapons just hanging out in the background. Otherwise, it seems like this could be a genre that the senator from Texas would be interesting in liking again and again on Twitter. And the best part is it would likely be safe for work.

Either way, the funniest part is the very beginning of the segment when you realize where Colbert is going to go and still laugh when he just drops right into “Ted Cruz watches porn.” It’s a distraction that we all could use.
