The Late Show took an unexpected turn during its latest episode when former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi made a surprise appearance.
What started as light political banter quickly turned tense, as Bondi took issue with one of Stephen Colbert’s jokes.
The audience initially laughed, unaware of the storm about to unfold live on national television.
Colbert, known for his biting wit, tossed out a punchline aimed squarely at Bondi’s past political ties.
Bondi, however, didn’t flinch—instead, she delivered a powerful comeback that stunned the room into silence.
“I’ve faced tougher cross-examinations than this,” she snapped, before leaning forward with a pointed glare.
The air in the studio shifted instantly as even longtime fans of Colbert grew uneasy. It was clear from Colbert’s expression that he hadn’t expected Bondi to bite back so fiercely—and effectively.
