Colbert’s Touching Tribute to Justice Antonin Scalia
On Monday’s The Late Show, Stephen Colbert paid tribute to late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, saying, “He was universally acknowledged to be an intellectual giant who left his mark not only on the court but on how to interpret the constitution. And whether or not you agreed with him or made a lot of jokes about him, like I did, one thing you’ve got to admit was that he had a great sense of humor.”
Stephen went on to talk about hosting the White House Correspondent’s Association dinner in 2006 to an unamused crowd. When few people were laughing or even making eye contact, Justice Scalia was the first to give him praise, even laughing as Stephen made a joke at his expense. Stephen finished his tribute by saying, “So, I will forever be grateful for that moment of human contact that he gave me. So, I would just like to say one last time, Justice Scalia, I salute you.”
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on CBS.
