Summary
Stephen Colbert hasn’t aged a day in ten years, the name of the Department of Defense was too woke for President Trump, Americans finally got a glimpse of a gross drawing Trump gave Jeffrey Epstein for his birthday, and the residents of Nantucket have been outed as above-average partiers. Next, America looks vastly different than it did in 2015 when Stephen Colbert took the reins at The Late Show. Tonight, our host looks back at some of the moments that defined the decade. Academy Award-winner Cillian Murphy explains that “relief of missing out” is how he felt while sitting in the audience at a screening of a new film by director Christopher Nolan, which in a rare twist does not count Cillian Murphy as a cast member. Murphy’s new film, “Steve,” opens in select theaters September 19th and is available on Netflix starting October 3rd.
