During Tuesday night's The Late Show, host Stephen Colbert smashed a champagne bottle and threatened to 'cut anyone who comes near him' over Donald Trump's refusal to concede the presidency.

On Monday the 56-year-old had toasted Joe Biden's win during his first show since his victory was announced with a glass of champagne for him and his wife, Evie McGee-Colbert.

But by Tuesday Colbert was telling viewers: 'Yesterday, I was pouring champagne to toast the administration, and today I will cut you if you come near me, because there's some crazy s*** going on out there.'

In response to the 2020 election Trump has sought to discredit the integrity of the election and argued without evidence that the results will be overturned.

Colbert pointed out that 'peaceful transitions are important', adding: 'You don't see me starting the show every night getting in a knife fight with David Letterman.'

After McConnell said Trump is '100% within his rights' to question election results Colbert had this to say: 'So the Republican Party is backing the president. Not because they believe his conspiracy theories, but because they're afraid of making him mad because they need his base.'

Colbert then moved on to Pompeo's speech on Tuesday in which Pompeo told reporters with a grin that the 'transition' to a second Trump term would be 'smooth'.

The host continued: 'No. Wrong.. nothing this administration has done has ever been smooth. He couldn't even manage a smooth transition from stage to ground level.’
