Colbert’s Hilarious Roast of Bloomberg, Matthews, and the Pope at Al Smith Dinner (17:04 mins AUDIO)





http://www.mediaite.com/online/listen-colberts-hilarious-roast-of-bloomberg-matthews-and-the-pope-at-al-smith-dinner/

Late night host Stephen Colbert spoke at the Al Smith Dinner in New York last night, and summarily roasted everyone from Mayor Michael Bloomberg to Henry Kissinger to, yes, even Pope Francis himself. A fair portion of Colbert’s roast addressed his Catholicism, he even introduced himself as “America’s most favorite Catholic.”

p.s. This year President Obama did not attend the dinner as he did in 2008 and 2012.
Presidents normally attend the dinner in election years.
