Stephen Colbert kicked off his final week of hosting The Late Show on CBS by looking back at some of the things that, for one reason or another, never aired. This included what the plan was to celebrate a Hillary Clinton victory in 2016, which Colbert revealed included naked male models.
While eating some steamed chicken, Colbert recalled, “So, why do we have all the stuff that never made it to air? A lot of reasons. For one, sometimes the world just doesn't cooperate, like during the 2016 presidential election. We were doing a live special on Showtime, and no commercial breaks, and as the results started to come in, it became clear that we had planned for a different outcome.”
Putting up a blurred image of the doomed bit, Colbert continued, “We were so sure that The New York Times prediction needle was right, we hired a bunch of naked male models with the words 'I'm with her' painted on their full plump butts. Sadly, all of those models had to be put down, but first we tried to save the bit. And as the outcome became clear, we repainted their butts to say ‘We’re [bleep].’”
