Summary
President Trump tried to clean up the mess he made in Minnesota by moving Greg “Little Napoleon” Bovino out and lambasting Homeland Security head Kristi Noem, the president’s body and mind are in pretty rough shape, and the First Lady’s self-titled film is a box office stinker. It’s so cold in Georgia that ice-covered trees are exploding, America’s premiere weather-predicting mammal could lose his job to a hologram, and the world’s hottest viral toy is a stuffed horse from China. Stephen Colbert’s extended interview with Oscar-winner Sam Rockwell goes delightfully off the rails as the two talk about Rockwell’s early jobs in New York City, acting gigs on cop shows, and why time travel movies usually don’t work. Watch Sam Rockwell in the new film, “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die,” in theaters February 13th.
