""I've been on this show multiple times," "Selina" told Colbert while the Veep theme played, "and I always thought you were Rachel Maddow. Are you not?""
""So you're Irish, but you decided to pronounce your name French?" she asked. "That's like putting lipstick on a pig, which I understand is what Irish people do before they fuck it.""
""Your cancellation gave Donald Trump so much pleasure that I always think of you as the Stormy Daniels of late night," she told Colbert."
""When my people said I should come and say farewell to you, I was hoping it was more of a hospice-type situation," Selina said. The audience began to cheer, and then, with no hard feelings, the two kissed and made up."
Julia Louis-Dreyfus appears as Selina Meyer to roast Stephen Colbert as his final show approaches. She delivers insults prepared by former writers, including a jab about Colbert being mistaken for Rachel Maddow. She mocks his name pronunciation and uses crude comparisons. She also turns political, linking Colbert’s cancellation to Donald Trump’s pleasure and framing him as the Stormy Daniels of late night. Colbert reacts with constant smiling and laughter, especially at a line referencing his own death and a hospice-like farewell. The audience cheers, and the segment ends with Colbert and Selina kissing and making up without hard feelings.
