Stephen Colbert is surprised to learn Donald Trump has a new source for punching down: is own multi-millionaire sycophant, Sean Hannity.

Colbert wondered aloud how this could be. "Apparently, Trump's close relationship with Hannity hasn't stopped the president from mocking the Fox News star behind his back for being such a suck-up. Does Hannity really suck up that much?"

Why yes he does! And Colbert shows clips to prove it.

Colbert then played a clip of his own "in house news team" playing a Fox News-like anchor team attempting to be both pro-Trump and truthful. The "work" gives one of the anchors a nosebleed.
