Stephen Colbert has some strong words for Donald Trump's new FBI director pick, Kash Patel, who clearly isn't a big fan of media types.
"We're gonna come after the people in the media," says Patel in an interview clip from Dec. 2023 that Colbert played on The Late Show on Monday night. "Whether it's criminally or civilly, we'll figure that out. But yeah, we're putting you all on notice."
Colbert, however, is clearly unfazed by this threat.
"Oh, really? You see me shake, Kash?" says the host in the clip above, advancing towards the camera. "Let me help you remember me, OK? I'm the middle-aged, brown-haired, white guy with an 11:30 network show. And I will never bow down to authoritarians, or my name isn't Jimmy something! Write it down! Write it down!"
