With Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential race, Stephen Colbert has officially retired his Joe Biden aviators, accompanying impression, and binder of Biden-themed jokes.
But in a monologue packed with not just one, but two dance breaks, the Late Show host also found time to share his own thoughts about Biden dropping out of the race.
“Speaking personally, I am gonna miss Joe Biden,” says Colbert in the clip above. “On this very program right over there on September 10, 2015, I encouraged then Vice President Biden to run. He ignored me for five years, then he did it. And I believe he has been a great President: He steered this country out of a horrific pandemic; he saved countless lives by encouraging people to get vaccinated; he brought the economy back; he rallied our allies; he reasserted America’s place in the world stage; and most inspiring of all, at no time was he Donald Trump.”
