Stephen Colbert made his second appearance of the week as The Hunger Game's Caesar Flickerman at the Republican National Convention last night.

Colbert, who had a blue wig on his head and a ferret in his arms, only got in a few Hunger Games-themed jokes about Donald Trump and Mike Pence before someone dressed as a security guard kicked him off the stage.

Knowing Colbert, and based on backstage photos, the event was likely staged. But that doesn't take away from the RNC's hilarious kickoff.
