Hey Dwayne Johnson, We Don't Need Another Celebrity In The White House

Americans love Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson so much they may want to send him to the White House in 2024. But is handing the nuclear launch codes to another celebrity president really what this country needs?




Stephen Colbert's #HeWhoShallBeNamed​ Is America's Favorite Trending Topic

Last night, our host asked viewers to tweet suggestions as to what he should call our disgraced former leader when mentioning him on air. And wow, did you good people deliver! Watch as Stephen shares some of his favorites, including "Mar-A-Lardo" and "King Baby Coward." Got a nickname for the 45th president? Tweet it to @colbertlateshow including the tag #HeWhoShallBeNamed​ and you might see it on a future show!

1. Right! No more "celeb" presidents!

[Rhiannon12866]

3. I know!

We need a president with experience and who knows how our government works! The past few years sure have proved that!

2. HeWhoShallBeNamed

It would be really cool to see a list of the most popular nicknames, without going onto Twitter. I have a few favorites:
- Canteloupe Caligula,
- Diaper Donnie,
- SCROTUS (So-Called Ruler of the United States), and the ever-popular
- The former guy -- Thanks, Mr. President!

4. I really liked that idea, too!

One of the funniest ideas Colbert has come up with and I'm sure that we'll hear more of them on subsequent shows - and the cleverest thing is that it allows him to avoid using the former guy's name!

7. SCROTUS does double-duty

also = Supreme Court Republicans of the U.S.

5. I like Needy Amin and Trumplethinskin

Might even brave the twitterverse to see that list ...Might.

6. People sure came up with some good ones!

I'm looking forward to hearing more!
