"If that's how we're doing it, JD, then we here at The Late Show also enjoy humor, the host declared. He proceeded to roll a heavily censored AI animation of Vance humping a sofa while wearing a sombrero in callback to an internet hoax that falsely claimed Vance once wrote about such an encounter in his memoir. The rumor, long debunked, was recycled through online memes during the 2024 campaign."
"After showing the AI sofa-sex clip, Colbert flipped Vance's defense of Trump. We're joking, Colbert told viewers. We're having a good time. Offering Vance his own version of the Jeffries bargain, Colbert jabbed: If you resign as VP, I won't keep showing that every chance I get. And I definitely won't put it on all of our socials so people can share it and maybe roll it on a loop during their holiday parties this year."
Stephen Colbert targeted Vice President JD Vance after Vance defended President Trump's sombrero AI jokes aimed at House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Vance told reporters that he found the jokes funny and promised to end the memes if Jeffries agreed to a shutdown-ending deal. Colbert responded by airing a heavily censored AI animation depicting Vance humping a sofa while wearing a sombrero, echoing a long-debunked internet hoax about Vance's memoir. Colbert framed the clip as humor, offered a mock bargain demanding Vance's resignation in exchange for stopping the replay, and threatened wider social circulation.
