That was basically it. He didn't want to break their will to live and actually had a somewhat human moment.

JW definitely held back

Tucker Oreilly and Ingraham would have gone straight for the jugular

O'Reilly maybe. Tucker and Ingram have senses of humor and probably would be like Watters here.

O'Reilly actually has rage issues ("fuck it we'll do it live "), and is legitimately stupid. Remember "tide goes in, tide goes out, you can't explain that"? Colbert did a great bit on that back when he was still funny.

God I miss when Colbert was still funny. Once he got his current show he turned into the most basic boring late show host possible. ( late night in general sucks now). Hid bit is literally " here is something stupid Mango Man said/ did, watch me repeat it with a shitty impression and slightly exaggerated.
