#EndorseThis: Colbert And Wolff Find The Laughs In ‘Fire And Fury’

“You know he’s watching,” Michael Wolff warns Stephen Colbert at the beginning of his latest “exclusive” interview. “He may have done nothing today but watch me on television.”

As the Fire and Fury author points out, there is little in his raging bestseller that we didn’t already know about the cheeseburger-inhaling infant in the White House. But the rest of the national media have soft-pedaled the bad news that Wolff delivers so bluntly.
