Stephen Colbert calls the Mueller report conclusion 'worse than the finale of 'Lost''

It was a lengthy, almost two-year wait for the Mueller report to be delivered, and Stephen Colbert thought it was, well, anticlimactic.

In a monologue opening The Late Show on Monday, Colbert said the report's findings, which found that there was no proof of collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia, was "worse than the finale of Lost."

"What about the smoke monster, was it real or not? And if not, why have so many members of Trump’s campaign plead guilty to lying about meeting with the smoke monster?" Colbert quipped.

"Why couldn't this have been like the ending of Seinfeld? Still disappointing, but at least they're all in jail."

Anyway, let's just see the whole report, shall we?
