Stephen Colbert pays tribute to both Bernie Sanders and 'Hunger Games'

Stephen Colbert dressed up as Caesar Flickerman, Stanley Tucci's The Hunger Games character, to provide hilarious commentary on the presidential race last night.

"Sadly, today, we lost the bravest tribute of all," Colbert said about Bernie Sanders, who recently endorsed Hillary Clinton. "A man we actually lost months ago, but who courageously kept pretending not to be dead."

If Sanders was a fan of The Hunger Games, he might tell Clinton: "May the odds be ever in your favor."
