Brown/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Stephen Colbert Sets a Trump-Centric Tone Stephen Colbert has become the late-night ratings king by leaning heavily on Trump jokes, so it was no surprise that he did the same in his first stint as Emmy host. The fizzy, which positioned TV as an escape from the world President Trump has wrought, featured prime-time stars like Anthony Anderson, Allison Janney, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and FX’s animated Archer, a hip-hop interlude by Chance the Rapper and a troupe of tap-dancing female and male “handmaids.” “The world may be the worst we’ve ever seen,” Mr. Colbert sang. “But it’s never been better on your TV screen.”.
