STEPHEN COLBERT’S ELECTION NIGHT 2020: DEMOCRACY’S LAST STAND: BUILDING BACK AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BETTER 2020
Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET
Last night, Showtime televised this special live, beginning it at 11 p.m. ET and starting with a Trump cartoon before Stephen Colbert showed up, with his wife watching from a safe distance, as he tried to mine comedy out of what was happening with the 2020 election results. Four years ago, he had done a similar live special with a full studio audience, and it was dismally unfunny… because the audience was weeping, and Colbert himself was fighting his emotions at what he was seeing. Last night’s special wasn’t much cheerier – but if you’re curious, or a masochist, Showtime is repeating the 2020 election edition tonight.
