2. He redid his initial monologue segment, he was so incensed by Trump's actions

And not for the first time! I remember there was once breaking Trump news while he was taping his monologue - think it was the announcement of the first meet-up between Trump and Kim Jong-un - so he ignored his prepared remarks and ad-libbed the rest! Stephen Colbert keeps up with the news!

I watched the Beast and was shocked that even he could be that disgusting.

He has taken this election - and Trump's malfeasance - dead seriously since day #1!

5. That I am up at this time in the morning tells you how I am doing

This election has felt more like 2018 than 2016 all along--where they were saying we lost when we really had won BIG. And the feel of seeing Georgia turn blue now....not entirely sure if I feel

And MSNBC keeps talking about Pennsylvania since that would clinch the Biden win, but I agree about Georgia - that would be both historic and a gift for Jimmy Carter!

9. Good thing I wasn't on mic in that NV piece

(at 7:03 in the first clip).

When the spokesperson was interrupted by "BBQ - Beer - Freedumb," I would have probably made a career-limiting (or -ending) gesture by asking "Would someone please change his diaper?!?"
