Stephen Colbert gets sharp Veep style roast from Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Julia Louis-Dreyfus marked Stephen Colbert’s upcoming sign-off with a satirical roast during her Late Show visit.

On Tuesday, July 22, the actress revealed she enlisted writers from her former HBO comedy to create a special Selina Meyer style tribute for the host before his final show on May 21.

She stated, “By the way, he does not know what I'm about to do. I got some of the Veep writers together to write a Veep-style tribute to you.”

She stayed in her role and lightly teased Colbert with political style jokes, saying, “I've been on this show multiple times, and I always thought you were Rachel Maddow. Are you not?”

She followed up with, “Don't be too hard on yourself. You're as relevant as the Bill of Rights.”

The roast also took aim at Colbert’s cancellation, with the Emmy winner adding, “Your cancellation gave Donald Trump so much pleasure. I always think of you as the Stormy Daniels of late night.”

Moreover, she concluded with a quip, “I don't want you to worry. The only reason everyone rallied around Jimmy Kimmel is because he's more popular.”
