According to Entertainment Weekly, the hosts appeared at a fundraiser for the Montclair Film Festival in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday.
During the talk, the duo brought up their concerns around the "normalization" of Trump, a subject Oliver focused on during the season finale of HBO's "Last Week Tonight." He warned his viewers against being hopeful about the new president-elect.
"He is not normal," Oliver said on that show of Trump before declaring that 2016 has been the "f---ing worst" year.
"I think the danger of 'live your lives, the sun comes out tomorrow' is that that's true for some people, and so it's very easy to forget that it's very much not for others," Oliver said at the fundraiser. "That's the danger. If you are lucky enough for your life to become routine, it's easy not to feel the pain of others whose routines are going to be shattered. Not everyone is going to be okay, so it's incumbent on everyone to remember that."

The host of CBS's "Late Show" pointed out that a lot of people tried to stop Trump during his run, including fellow Republicans, and he still won.
"He owes them nothing," Colbert said. "That's what scares me. He owes the checks and balances of Washington nothing, because they tried to stop him and they couldn't. And he's a vindictive person."
He then added, "So it's all going to be fine. Merry Christmas."
