'Everything We've Been Waiting For': Colbert Hails Harris Speech

CBS’s Stephen Colbert wrapped up his week of live shows from Chicago on the final night of the Democratic National Convention by hyping Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech as “everything we've been waiting for.” To cap it all off, he welcomed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for some additional party promotional material.

During his monologue, Colbert noted, “All this week, the DNC has been a big TV hit. On Tuesday, the DNC crushed night two of the RNC by 39 percent.”

Colbert had an idea as to why, “One reason could be the speakers. Night two featured Michelle and Barack Obama, while the RNC's second night closed with Lara Trump and Marco Rubio. That's like saying, ‘Sorry, we don't have coke. Is diarrhea okay?’"
