CBS’s Stephen Colbert wrapped up his week of live shows from Chicago on the final night of the Democratic National Convention by hyping Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech as “everything we've been waiting for.” To cap it all off, he welcomed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for some additional party promotional material.

Harris wasn’t the only one who received copious amounts of praise. During his interview with Ocasio-Cortez, Colbert gushed over President Joe Biden, as if he wasn't forced out:

Joe Biden has gotten a lot of praise this week, and I just don't think we can praise him enough for the courageous and patriotic decision he made. When George Washington got to the end of his second term and willingly set down his office, King George said quote, ‘If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world.’ And no one since Washington has laid down this office in quite the same way by his own volition… What do you have to say about President Biden's choice?”
