"I'm Joe Biden, and I don't understand this message. What's happening?" That's Stephen Colbert's impression of Biden's recent social media video, which the president posted in response to a now-deleted Donald Trump post referencing a "unified reich" if he's re-elected.

"That Biden response there got a lot of video clicks, so the Biden campaign wants to build on the new viral trend of 'hand grandpa the phone', because reportedly they're looking for a 'meme page' manager," the Late Show host explains in the clip above.

Colbert goes on to share a few suggestions of his own for the future employee, including an "I can haz youth vote?" cat meme and a fairly disturbing parody of Alexey Gerasimov's viral Skibidi Toilet YouTube short ("if you don't understand that video, your grandchildren will explain it," Colbert says.)
