Stephen Colbert Spoils New Trump Book to Stop Sales
The Late Show host Stephen Colbert recently spoiled all the best parts of Stephanie Grisham’s new novel about Trump so that the author wouldn’t sell any more copies. On his show, Colbert explained, “There’s a new tell-all from former White House press secretary and Morticia Addams’ divorced sister, Stephanie Grisham…[she] worked in the White House for four years, and as press secretary she famously never gave a single press conference. But now she’s spilling all the tea in her new book, I Just Recently Gained a Spine.” Colbert went on to spoil many of the juiciest stories in the book (which, for the record, isn’t really called I Just Recently Gained a Spine). You can watch Colbert’s spoilers here.
