Rock legend Bruce Springsteen appeared on Stephen Colbert’s penultimate show last night, hailing the talk show host as “the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can’t take a joke”.

“I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can’t take a joke… And because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want,” Springsteen said.

“Stephen, these are small-minded people,” he added. “They got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about.”
