The Late Show host Stephen Colbert was “Doin’ It Donkey Style” tonight, focusing on the Oct. 15 Democratic presidential debate in Westerville, Ohio.
Colbert ran down the list of candidates who qualified, including Bernie Sanders, fresh off a heart attack and ready to take on the challenge, “But just to be safe, they have eliminated the Stairmaster portion of the competition.” said Colbert.

Colbert said that’s probably why Sen. Cory Booker plans to show up for the debate dressed as Rum Tum Tugger from the Broadway play Cats.
