Stephen Colbert took over the Butterball Hotline and it was glorious

Late-night comedian Stephen Colbert has been talking turkey this Thanksgiving, pitching in, so to speak, at the Butterball Hotline. What he lacked in any sort of actual cooking knowledge, he made up for with holiday finery.

With one call, he pretended to speak French, and with another, he pretended that he was an air traffic controller.

“I’m going to call the police,” the exasperated woman who just wanted help cooking her turkey said.

“I’m going to call the Army,” Colbert responded.

And so on.

Here’s hoping the callers eventually got the help they dialed in for.
