Late-night hosts discuss Ardern’s resignation as prime minister of New Zealand, George Santos’s past and Republican infighting
Stephen Colbert on Jacinda Ardern: ‘Wait a second – she’s leaving because it’s the right thing to do?’Stephen Colbert on Jacinda Ardern: ‘Wait a second – she’s leaving because it’s the right thing to do?’Stephen Colbert, saying she “no longer had enough in the tank” to do the job. “It’s time,” Ardern, who has served for six years, said in her announcement.
“You’re the only world leader that I’m friends with,” he lamented, playing a clip from his visit with Ardern in New Zealand . “Don’t make me start hanging out with Justin Trudeau! Sure he’s pretty to look at, but he smells like hot yoga and poutine.”Colbert urged Ardern to rest up, “because we need you to come to America to run in 2024. You may be a Kiwi but at 42, you are constitutionally old enough to be a president’s grandchild.
Santos allegedly performed under the stage name Kitara Ravache. “Really? That’s what he went with?” Colbert said. “I would’ve gone with something fun, like Anita Alibi or Ivana Pawnyourjewelry.” The two reportedly got in a shouting match in a bathroom off the House floor. “Well, I guess that answers the riddle ‘what’s worse than Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert fighting? Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert fighting in a room with an echo,’” Meyers joked.
