Colbert to CNBC Moderators: You Made the Debate Confusing and Boring

COLBERT: “Did you guys watch the debate on CNBC last night? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m so sorry. Now I did watch it. And in some ways it was impressive. It managed to thread the needle between confusing and boring. But if I’m going to talk about the debate, it’s now or never. Though never is attempting option. Okay, and I blame the moderators because it started on the very first question.”
QUINTANILLA [video]: “This is an open question. This series of debates is essentially a job interview with the American people. And in any job interview, you know this, you get asked what is your biggest weakness. So in 30 seconds, what is your biggest weakness, and what are you doing to address it?”
COLBERT: “Yes, they opened with the one question that no one in human history has ever answered honestly. In fact, when I— when I interviewed, when I interviewed for this job, I said my biggest weakness was ‘sometimes I work so hard I forget to cash my paychecks.’”
