Stephen Colbert goes to town on Congress’ proposed TikTok ban

Today, the House of Representatives is expected to vote on a new bill that could ban TikTok in the U.S. In the lead-up to the vote (but not directly citing the bill itself), TikTok itself lobbied for users to quite literally call their representatives and “tell them to stop a TikTok shutdown.” Following push notifications within the TikTok app, U.S. Congressional offices told the BBC they were being absolutely pummelled with calls.

In a segment on The Late Show, host Stephen Colbert summarized the potential U.S. ban on TikTok — “or as most members of Congress put it, ‘The TikToks have gotta go! The orange ones are the only ones that taste good and when I drop the little box they go clickety clack and everybody stares at me at the matinée. No more TikToks!'”

It’s a pretty fun and lighthearted breakdown of the situation, but remember, the ban could have huge ramifications beyond just TikTok.
