I certainly had an interesting one because some of my staff had a memorable one.

Colbert said staff members, including "Triumph the Insult Comic Dog," were at the Capitol filming a comedy segment related to the January 6th hearings.

"Late Show" staff reportedly received proper clearance for filming and received an invitation to offices of representatives for interviews.

During the crew's second day of filming, U.S. Capitol Police detained them.

Colbert said he was not surprised Capitol police approached his staff members with such caution.

If you don’t know what that reason is, I know which news network you watch.

Colbert noted U.S. Capitol Police were following protocol, saying all involved were "very professional" and "very calm."
