These are never available till really late and I make a point of posting them for those who don't stay up late enough to watch - or those who don't have TV. We really need his humor these days and he's consistently terrific!

It was funny watching him try to kiss Melania while she had that large hat on. And in another segment, his elaborate handshake with Macron, after which Colbert asks “Which one is he married to”?

Trump flicked “dandruff” off Macron’s suit, Macron is smiling and laughing and Colbert says “If Macron is still smiling after two days with Trump, it’s not dandruff on his suit, it’s cocaine.”

Very funny segments, Colbert always has me laughing.
