“with which he would have ascended” [REDC]
We really do hear of Sherlock everywhere these days.
In his monologue on September 24, Steven Colbert was determined to get to the bottom of just who shut down the escalator at the United Nations as President Trump was about to go up.
“Top minds are on the case,” Colbert said, before cutting away to press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who said the Secret Service was “trying to get to the bottom of it.”
“And it’s not going to be easy to get to the bottom of it, since it was an ‘up’ escalator,” Colbert quipped.
He continued by showing a tweet from Leavitt, who suggested that if someone from the U.N. was responsible, they should be investigated and fired.
Then the show rolled a graphic with a magnifying glass and the words ESCALATOR INVESTIGATOR.
Upon return from the graphic, Colbert was wearing a deerstalker and holding a meerschaum pipe.
The case was cracked, via a U.N. spokesperson, who revealed the identity of the person who stopped the escalator.
“Well, that de-escalated quickly,” Colbert concluded, before taking off his clever disguise.
The game’s afoot!
