“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Thursday mocked Vice President JD Vance over his “unique approach” toward his private meeting with Pope Leo XIV after he revealed that the two discussed online dating at the Vatican this week.
“Dude, know your audience! The guy is celibate! Good lord!” Colbert declared.
Colbert turned to a clip of Vance who, in a podcast with The New York Times’ Ross Douthat, claimed that he gave his two cents on “basic dating behavior among young people” during his chat with the Holy Father.
“I think a lot of this is the dating apps are probably more destructive than we fully appreciate,” said Vance in the video.
Colbert swiftly cut away from the footage.
