Now, I am flattered that this guy considered it an achievement that he somehow booked President Clinton on my basic cable news parody puppet show, Colbert said. But because this staffer took credit for getting Bill on the show, they think Im on Hillarys payroll. For the record: She cant afford me. The story has even made its way onto Alex Jones Infowars show.
Well, Im busted, Colbert said. You got me! The email proves it! He admitted that he let Bill Clinton come on his show, filmed the whole thing, put it on TV and even inserted commercials in between the segments. Oh my God, we were in it for the money! he realized. Its like these shows are some kind of business!
Colbert then revealed that the conspiracy theory goes all the way up to our next president, because when Trump was on his show last fall they had a pre-interview where they discussed what they would talk about on the air. But he decided not to read those documents to his audience, because heres what these conspiracy theorists dont get: Theres a difference between a conspiracy and an agreement.
A conspiracy is what villains do. An agreement is what adults do, he said. Look around the country. Wouldnt you agree we need some more adults? So WikiLeaks, Alex Jones, and the subreddit sub-geniusesand I mean this in the nicest way possible: grow the fuck up.
