Stephen Colbert had very little trouble getting onstage at the Republican National Convention last week for a chance to grab the mic. But apparently, ascending the podium of the DNC is much more of a challenge. Colbert, dressed as his Hunger Games character Julius Flickerman, tried everything in his power to thwart security, but despite a very official-looking “podium pass” and the support of Nancy Pelosi herself, the Late Show host simply couldn’t weasel his way onstage.
Luckily for us, even the sternest security guards are no match for Colbert, who did what any self-respecting host would do: Armed only with a camera and a whole lot of chutzpah, he rushed the stage. He was immediately swarmed by agents, but it didn’t matter—Flickerman won the day, again. And we have the 360 video to prove it.
