Sarah Palin’s new online channel is ripe for late-night skewering, so it’s no surprise that Stephen Colbert went to town.
In a four-minute monologue on his Comedy Central show, Colbert on Tuesday mocked the former Alaska governor’s idea of bypassing media filters to create a subscription-based channel on the Internet. “It’s exactly what she’s always done only, mmm, nothing else,” Colbert joked.
Colbert teased that Palin’s channel — which he dubbed “Palintainment” — at $9.95 a month costs more than Netflix and will be “just as good as House of Cards with even more threatening monologues into camera.”
