Stephen Colbert addressed the recent allegations of sexual misconduct against his boss, CBS CEO and chairman Les Moonves, in his "Late Show" monologue on Monday.
Moonves was accused of sexual misconduct by six women in a New Yorker report by Ronan Farrow published on Friday.
Colbert opened his monologue by joking that he had been in South Carolina without internet ("They don't have it there yet," he said), when he "heard there was an article about CBS chairman - and man I hope isn't watching tonight's monologue - Les Moonves."
The "Late Show" host then did a spit-take upon learning that Farrow, who previously wrote a bombshell New Yorker report on allegations against Harvey Weinstein, had also written the Moonves report for The New Yorker.
"That's not good. Ronan isn't exactly known for his puff pieces about glamping," Colbert joked.
Colbert threw to a news clip detailing the allegations against Moonves, which his accusers told The New Yorker appeared to be "a practiced routine" of forcible kissing and touching.
"Well, you know the old saying, 'How do you get in a Ronan Farrow article? Practice, practice, practice,'" Colbert said.
The host then addressed CBS' announcement on Monday that the company would not suspend Moonves during an outside investigation into the allegations against him.
"I don't know why they're outsourcing this," Colbert joked of the investigation. "They could just use the cast of the new CBS procedural: 'CSI: CEO.'"
