Vice President Kamala Harris continued her tour of friendly interviews on Tuesday as she joined CBS’s Stephen Colbert for four segments and a beer on The Late Show.
Colbert, who is off for the rest of the week, began with a 60 Minutes parody where he hyped the upcoming interview, “Good evening. It has been a tradition here at The Late Show since yesterday that the major party candidates sit down with me for an interview in October. We invited Kamala Harris to be our guest this evening, and she accepted. That interview in a moment. In the interest of fairness, we also invited former president Donald Trump to go [bleep] himself. He declined our offer.”
In his monologue, Colbert further previewed the softball interview to come as he listed off a series of biographical details, “She attended law school in San Francisco, where she lived with her sister, Maya, and helped her potty-train Maya's daughter. When talking about the experience, Harris said, ‘I'm dealing with this brutal stuff, dog-eat-dog in school, and then I would come home, and we would all stand by the toilet and wave bye to a piece of [bleep].’ Yeah. And if she wins next month, we all get to have the same experience.
