On Thursday, Colbert shared what he calls “the whole damn reason” he went to Russia in the first place: He wanted to find evidence that the Steele dossier, a series of leaked memos full of scandalous allegations about Trump’s campaign’s ties to Russia, was real. But Colbert wasn’t interested in the parts about financial ties and collusion—no, Colbert wanted to find the alleged compromising footage the Kremlin took of Trump watching Russian prostitutes urinate on the bed at the presidential suite at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton. In other words, he wanted to find “the pee pee tape.”
With that noble mission in mind, Colbert set out through the streets of Moscow to ask bewildered interview subjects and pedestrians whether they have any leads on “the pee pee tape.” And when those questions yielded nothing, he did what any serious investigative journalist worth his salt would do: He rented the presidential suite for a night, bringing along surveillance expert Andrei Soldatov, to help him look for clues. He didn’t find any, but he definitely had a great time cracking urine puns and jumping on the bed. Maybe the real pee pee tape was the friends we made along the way.
Did you ever not realize how much you needed something, until you saw it?
Well that describes me and this bit.
I had no idea how much I would enjoy this until I was in fact enjoying it.
Now, now I can go back to covering the craziness surrounding Donald Trump with a smile on my face, a song in my heart, and absolutely no pee pee in my bed.
