Colbert Ridicules Stephen Miller for His ‘Fake Hair’

I saw Steve Miller on Face the Nation Sunday morning and couldn't get over him. It was as if he was doing a parody of himself. All buzz words and jargon and slogans. The Trump WH at its worst. THEN, Colbert and Grosz do a parody of the parody. I seriously wondered what and how he had done the hair thing to his head. It looked like something one would buy at the hobby store for the model train layout.

That is not a "full-on Afro" on fake Stephen Miller's head but it is still a funny skit. For the record, afros grow out and up not down.

Perhaps the number of lawsuits faced by the President is astounding. However I would like to know what is the maximum number of lawsuits faced by Trump at any one time?

I wish someone would ask Miller about Trump's hiring of undocumented immigrants.

Trevor Noah is the gift that keeps on giving. "Stephen Miller's "hair" brought to you by Sherwin Williams paint." - Trevor Noah (while a graphic is shown of a Sherwin Williams paint can - color black).

This series has way too much Colbert! Most of it is, while poignant, is just not funny. We need more Noah, Seth and Conan!

@MattNg That is your own opinion! Colbert is brilliant!

Stephen Miller used school glue with some edible dye for his new hair. Killed two birds with one stone.

Is Miler doing a William Proxmire? Oh, the shame, the shame!

Surprised That Colbert didn't ask "Merry Christmas Miller" why he, being Jewish, is so Merry Christmas-urgent. Too 'touchy'? Don't know why it would be though. It's not a sin to be.

For most of us who are not addicted to the talking blond heads of Fox News it is such a great joy to watch truly funny comedy in the evening. The writing is excellent the subject matter is shown for all of its silliness and suspension of truth. Healthy humor after a long day of exhausting scenarios that don't have an end is a joy. It really is amazing how one administration can have such a cast of characters that provide so much factual material each and every day that can be tuned into comedy.

Pity the poor late-night comics: trying daily to make fun of something that is deeply unfunny and potentially tragic. I think of the obscene comedic play at the beginning of "Fellini Satyricon" satirizing the Emperor.
Jackie (Missouri)
@jimi99 I don't know that the late-night writers have to work that hard at being funny. With this administration, the jokes pretty much write themselves.

Please, somebody make fun of Colbert's ears.
Sharon (Los angeles)
@John. You just did...feel better?
Nnaiden (Montana)
@John What a weird thing to say. You know he had to have one removed surgically, right? And that what they're making fun of, fake hair, is...fake. Ears are real. Don't pick on anyone for what they got for a body.
John (Canada)
@Sharon Yes actually I do.

Love you, Stephen. I need to get you back into my regular schedule. Making great fun of this....whatever he is.....is pitch perfect. How did we end up with a 32 year old with no credentials running our immigration system? He is a cruel boy, just like the boy he works for. He certainly doesn't work for America.

@sophia Stephen Miller survived all the purges, so he must be blindly loyal to Trump. He also seems to really enjoy being cruel to immigrants, which would be his main selling point.
George Sweetapple (Sandusky, Ohio)
I believe Stephen Miller took Trump's advice: Give everyone something to talk about, and something to look at. Even bad publicity gets your name out. Don King's famous hair was Trump's inspiration. Don't forget the Stephen Miller is a racist, and friend of Richard Spencer. He works in the White House, and all the bad immigration ideas started with him. He is among the best and the brightest that Trump discovered.

Does anyone watch Colbert anymore? He is long past his sell by date.
Susan (NYC)
@D.J. Thompson According to latest data, 3.63 million people watch Colbert - more than any other nighttime host.
Barbara (New Jersey)
@D.J. Thompson Funny. Maybe you should apply for the position.
Paul Ruszczyk (Cheshire, CT)
@D.J. Thompson Did Donald Trump or Fox News tell you Colbert is "failing?"

The Trump organization and campaign can't claim that they were political novices because if they were these lies are a two edged sword and would cut both ways. You can’t break all the rules, then lie and deny breaking the rules, and then lie and deny with a new story about breaking the same rules. They knew exactly which laws to break and how to break them. Obviously the brains of the campaign and the Trump administration is Barron Trump because this type of behavior is so such an example of adolescent behavior especially when they get caught. If Donald will just tell the truth and let us know it was Barron's doing then maybe the administration can be saved. Barron would get a juvenile justice sentence and have a clean record by the time he’s 18. If not all of the adult children and the president himself will be convicted felons in a short amount of time.
