Here's What Was Unintentionally Funny About a CNN Host's Appearance on the Late Show

This interview wasn’t supposed to be this intentionally hilarious. I don’t think Late Show host Stephen Colbert wanted it to go like this, but the audience knows nonsense, and this line from the CBS host elicited a chuckle from the crowd that puzzled the CNN reporter. Colbert described CNN as an “objective” news outlet. Collins asked if that was supposed to be a “laugh line." 

"It wasn't supposed to be," Colbert replied. 

Wow: Crowd laughs at the absurd notion that CNN is “objective.” pic.twitter.com/aidYivoXNa

Audiences for most late night shows are tourists or people from out of town like foreign travelers who stand in line for hours during a vacation.

Imagine doing that with your vacation and then you get to see a mid level CNN anchor. https://t.co/sWjzyjnHv0

Everyone knows CNN is biased, even the Left. That’s the point, yet they try to keep up this veneer of being an impartial outlet. It’s the lack of self-awareness, too. This network employs Jim Acosta, the Trump White House’s favorite punching bag and number one enemy. Besides MSNBC, CNN is one of the most anti-Trump networks in the country, and the fact they don’t know this is a cause for laughter. Trump supporters might say it indelicately, but there's a reason why the 'CNN sucks' chant remains salient.

Frankly, it's Colbert's fault since he set up for this ball to be spiked brutally toward Collins.
