“IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT,” COLBERT WARNED, “YOU’RE NOT READY TO TALK ABOUT TRUTH.”
In an emotional, unexpected opening on The Late Show, Stephen Colbert broke from comedy to deliver a raw, tearful tribute to Virginia Giuffre — and a blistering message aimed directly at Pam Bondi and the powerful figures her name represents.
There were no jokes. No laughter. Just truth.
After finishing Giuffre’s memoir, Colbert called it “the book that forces you to see what too many chose to ignore.” Then, live on air, he did the unthinkable — he named names.
The audience fell silent. Seconds later, the internet erupted.
Viewers are calling it Colbert’s most powerful moment ever — part eulogy, part reckoning, and a warning to those who still think they can hide behind power.
