Stephen Colbert Pulls a Switcheroo on Trump’s Age – Hilarious, Right?

Colbert hilariously shifts his Biden age jokes to Trump! Check out the best age-related zingers from 'The Late Show.'

In a surprising twist on comedic storytelling, Stephen Colbert has decided to shift the spotlight from President Joe Biden to Donald Trump, using the former president's age as fresh material for his late-night monologue. With Biden reportedly considering stepping back from the 2024 race, Colbert saw this as the perfect opportunity to explain the absurdity of age in politics, making jokes about Trump's age that had everyone chuckling. As the audience roared with laughter, it became clear that Colbert's comedic genius knows no bounds, effortlessly intertwining political commentary with humor.

Colbert made some particularly biting jokes comparing Trump’s age to that of a fine-aged cheese—thankfully, cheese gets better with age; Trump, on the other hand, just seems to get cheesier. He pointed out that while Biden is often criticized for being older, it’s Trump who is just a mere year younger but acts like he’s in his 80s, which adds a funny twist his viewers couldn't resist. Colbert's antics give rise to questions like, "What’s worse; an older president or one that acts like a toddler?"

The late-night host doesn’t shy away from poking fun at both sides of the political spectrum, reminding us that laughter is universal, even amidst the sometimes grim political climate. It’s a common tactic among comedians to use age as a comedic device, and Colbert is certainly no stranger to this. With his razor-sharp wit, he had his audience hanging on for every quip, highlighting the amusing and absurd facets of the political landscape.

Even as both politicians navigate the often murky waters of age and capability, Colbert made it clear that it's all in good fun. The aging baby boomers in politics may seem like a serious topic, but Colbert specializes in transforming the mundane into comedic gold. And who says political humor needs to be serious?

In a world where age and politics often intertwine awkwardly, it's entertaining to spotlight the hilarity that comes from comparing our leaders’ ages. For some additional perspective, did you know that Trump was born on June 14, 1946? This makes him just a year younger than Biden, who was born on November 20, 1942. Another interesting fact: Over 40% of Canadians believe that experience in age is important for leadership—something Colbert cleverly highlighted in his monologue.
