Colbert, host of A Late Show With Stephen Colbert, poked fun at the lateness of Connecticut’s primary, which was held Tuesday, Aug. 11 - much later than the state would normally schedule such a vote.

The election was originally scheduled for April but was pushed back twice due to the pandemic.

"We will cover this Connecticut primary with the same breathless political horse race reporting that the media did back in February for Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina because if we do not, it means our primary system is fundamentally broken and some people's votes are absolutely worthless," he said.

He also got in a crack about the high number of Dunkin’ Donuts that can be found in most Connecticut communities.
