Stephen Colbert Has Found Anderson Cooper’s Kryptonite: Celebrity Poop Puns

 

During a Wednesday night segment of “The Ridiculist,” CNN’s Anderson Cooper covered the strange report of an alleged intoxicated actor Gerard Depardieu urinating on an airliner’s carpeted aisle. Cooper used various bathroom puns in a harmless, light and funny bit, but became completely lost in an uncontrollable fit of giggles rarely seen on a live news broadcast. Last night Stephen Colbert used this as an opening in the so-called bitter rivalry between the two television anchors, and came up with his own “celebrity poop puns” of his own.

Colbert then offered his own list of cable news personalities, delivered in poop pun style. There was Gretchen “Hot” Carlson, “Fudge” Andrew Napolitano and of course Steve Doocy. Watch the clip below, courtesy of Comedy Central:
