Alex met Sam at nursery. They were first loves. They built forts together, shared sandwiches in high school and were each other's first kiss.

They were the dream couple until Sam got into EDM music.

While Alex enjoyed folk, first loves are kind of like your current account. If they aren't working for you anymore,

maybe it's time to switch with the current account switch service.

Thank you, everybody. Please have a seat. Welcome to the Late Show. I'm your host, Stephen Colbert. Ladies and gentlemen.

We are coming to you just hours after the January 6th Committee shocked the world with a hearing that can only be described as

Ooga pshhala hachimachi. And nobody. Nobody saw this coming. They were scheduled to be in recess until the week of July 11th. They hauled everybody back in from vacation.

Congressman Benny Thompson was still wearing his floaties.

Why the urgency? The committee could not wait to share some hot new deets, but what was going on in the White House on January 6th?

Cassidy Hutchinson. Now we've seen Hutchinson before in video testimony from last Thursday's hearings where she spilled the tea on the seditionist congressman who begged for pardons.

Mr. Gates and Mr. Brooks. I know I'm both advocated for there to be a blanket party for members involved in that meeting.

Wait, I thought Mr. Biggs died on that peloton. Somebody tell Carrie these hearings are full of bombshells.

Now today's surprise hearings did not disappoint. It was loaded with shocking eyewitness testimony about the behavior on January 6th of former president Fraudie Krueger.

Hutchinson made it clear that everyone in the former president's inner circle knew that bad stuff was going to go down on the 6th.

He was back up to our office and I found Mr. Meadows in his office on the couch, he was scrolling through his phone.

I remember leaning against the doorway and saying, it's had an interesting conversation with Rudy Mark. It sounds like we're going to go to the Capitol.

He didn't look up from his phone and said something to the effect of, there's a lot going on, Cass, but I don't know, things might get real, real bad on January 6th.

So the president's chief of staff knew there could be terrible consequences and went ahead with it anyway.

Huh? What? Yeah, oh yeah, I think this rash might be an STD, but I don't know, let's put on some Marvin Gaye and just see where the evening takes us.

The president really wanted to accompany his mob up to the Capitol, but White House lawyer Pat Sepeloni really did not want that to happen for a damn good reason.

I saw Mr. Sepeloni right before I walked out on to West exec that morning and Mr. Sepeloni said something to the effect of, please make sure we don't go up to the Capitol capacity.
