What is dead may never die. That phrase may apply to the residents of the Iron Islands, but apparently it also applies to Game of Thrones analogies.
On Thursday night, Stephen Colbert kicked off his latest monologue on the impeachment hearings with a montage of TV hosts talking about how the whole thing had become too confusing. That logic didn't hold water with The Late Show host, though.
"Are you seriously claiming that it's not easy for Americans to follows sagas with a lot of characters?" Colbert asks in the clip above. "Have you heard of Game of Thrones? For Pete's sake! It was pretty popular!"
Colbert goes on to say that he thinks the impeachment hearings are actually a lot like the HBO show.
"The GOP is full of White Walkers, Lindsay Graham has clearly had his balls cut off, and at least one character has indicated he wants to sleep with a family member," Colbert says.
Ouch.
