Stephen Colbert is glad Anthony Weiner 'popped up' to make his job easier


"Y'all ready to get in a little bit of trouble?"

That's how Stephen Colbert started a bit of his Monday night monologue focused on a news story that sounds familiar. Yes, he was talking about Anthony Weiner, whom he thanked for being back in the news cycle.

Here's the thing about being a late night talk show host, as Colbert so astutely pointed out: August is always a slow news month, which can make it hard to make jokes about the news. But, "fortunately something popped up: Anthony Weiner."

Colbert proceeded to make joke after innuendo after pun after joke about the former Congressman and his latest sexting scandal. Beware: The clip below is on the NSFW side, especially when Colbert starts making hand gestures.
