Stephen Colbert hopes for just one thing before his debut as the new host of CBS' "Late Show": that Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is still in the running.
"I want to do a joke on Donald Trump so badly, and I have no venue," Colbert told reporters Monday in Beverly Hills. "Right now I'm just dry-Trumping."
He later added: "Every night before I go to bed, I light a candle and pray that he stays in the race. And I also pray that nobody puts that candle anywhere near his hair."
Colbert took the stage at the Television Critics Assn.
