Covering the RNC was such a herculean undertaking that Stephen Colbert not only enlisted the help of Jon Stewart, but he took the REAL/FAKE Stephen Colbert out of mothballs.

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

Stephen Colbert tromped out to a cabin in the woods to find Jon Stewart on last night’s “Late Show,” in hopes that the former “Daily Show” host could explain how Donald Trump came to pass. 

Putting aside his chi kombucha, Colbert invited his friend in for some kale jerky, but desperately begged him to forego his beard care to explain how Donald Trump became the Republican nominee for president.

And ye shall know him as Colbert.

The Word, I thought I was going to die and go to heaven.

As if that was not exciting enough, and it was exciting enough, Daily Show alumna Samantha Bee also took a turn at mocking the convention. And she even brought a little Sarah Palin into the mix.

Courtesy of The Wrap:

Samantha Bee kicked off her Republican National Convention coverage with a scorching indictment of — well, pretty much everything about the convention. 

She began by mocking the fact that numerous sponsors pulled their support from the RNC due to Donald Trump’s controversial nature and the fact that many popular Republicans like Sarah Palin have declined to speak at the event. 

Bee also ripped the party’s ultra-conservative platform, which solidified its staunch stances on transgender bathroom use and against gay marriage.

There is literally so much to mock that I think these shows may have to hire extra staff.

I can hardly wait to see what is in the offing for tomorrow.

      EEww. More bad decisions.

      She needs a liberal to energize.

      Instead she picks some conservatives/moderates to snooze the ticket.
      Kaine might not be too bad but Vilsack will just drag the ticket down.

    There is so much entanglement with business and money with Russia it is more than frightening and the REthugs in the campaign "gutted an anti-Russian provision" and "stopped the GOP platform from expressing support for arming Ukraine."

      I agree...why waste the time watching and listening to the constant hate they are spreading?! You can get info on it on the internet when and if you feel like it.

      Sounds like the speakers are all bashing Hillary Clinton continually and spreading lies, hate and anger.

      Supporters of Hillary Clinton (like me!) need to send her prayers and love. She has my vote!

      She'll bring calmness and sanity back to one fucked up mess!

      I'm sending money off to her campaign tomorrow.

    Mostly low energy. Not like a convention, Trump's new design. The kids were polished and well trained. Tiffany has her mother's southern charm, she makes him human. The oldest son is a good speaker and said all the right things. Chrispy was vile, he has a limited niche audience. Trump is giving the nasty speakers a place, it can be
    documented to show later in future video. Don the Con does something like skype in. So far it is dismal performances.

    Tiffany kept all her report cards because he wrote on them. The rest of the show was downhill.
