As Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House, CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to the Wednesday edition of The Late Show, where he lobbed a softball her way when he asked, “Could you have been a better cheerleader for the economy?” Also on the subject of Trump’s return, Colbert hailed former First Lady Michelle Obama’s decision to skip the inauguration, claiming she “came down with an incurable case of integrity.”
