Stephen Colbert celebrates after appearing in Nancy Pelosi’s DNC intro reel: ‘I’m part of American history!’

Stephen Colbert had an unexpected reason to celebrate Wednesday night on a live show following the Democratic National Convention. In the intro reel for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Colbert was shown in a short clip from one of her appearances on “The Late Show.” Colbert exclaimed, “I got more airtime than AOC!” He then feigned disbelief and pretended to accept a nomination before being pulled back to reality. And, not to burst Colbert’s bubble, but he appeared in Pelosi’s intro reel for less than 15 seconds, while on Tuesday night, AOC spoke at the convention for roughly a minute.
