FBI Director James Comey was fired less than 10 minutes before Stephen Colbert taped “The Late Show” Tuesday night.

But the late night show host had plenty of time to poke fun at President Trump’s motivation behind the move.

“That shows no gratitude at all. Did Trump forget about the Hillary emails that Comey talked about? ‘Uh, thanks for the presidency, Jimmy, now don’t let the door hit you where the electoral college split you,’” Colbert said, imitating the President.

“You fired the FBI director who has said, under oath, that he’s investigating the Trump administration’s ties to Russia. No rationale has been given yet, but it came on the recommendation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.”

And late enough to have heard about Comey.

Even if not, I'm still looking forward to this reunion.
