Colbert:
> “If you, much like the FCC, have been paying close attention to my show, then you know we’ve been auctioning off all kinds of great Late Show memorabilia and selling commemorative The Last Show t-shirts, all to raise money for the international aid organization, World Central Kitchen. And I’m excited to say that we got a great response on all of our auctions. And here to accept our donation is the founder of World Central Kitchen. Please welcome Chef José Andrés, everybody.”
> “José, we want to give you our donation on, you know, one of those giant checks, but it’s hard to find a bank that will cash one of those. So, instead, we have decided to present our donation tonight on the world’s smallest check. And it’s too small to read anything on the check, so I will instead now slip it underneath a microscope.”
> “And the total is $2,497,144.15.”

Trump responded, “I just raised $1.776 Billion for the Mentally Ill!”
Using his powers for good.
