... problem was ... Colbert's audience laughed AT him, not with him.

We get it, people are supposed to laugh when they watch Stephen Colbert ... we think?
Colbert is very dull and boring, so he usually has to go to extremes to get a laugh, which more often than not produces awkward cringe more than anything else.
Anyway, it would appear Colbert got a REALLY big laugh from his audience when he was trying to praise CNN and Kaitlan Collins for 'just reporting the news.'
When even a Colbert audience GETS IT?
Yeah, that's not good for him OR CNN.
Watch this:
Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) ~ NEW: Audience starts cracking up after a serious Stephen Colbert tells CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that CNN “just reports the news as it is.”
Remarkable.
Colbert: “I know you guys are objective over [at CNN], you just report the news as it is.”
Audience: *Laughs hysterically*
Collins: “Is that supposed to be a laugh line?”
Colbert: “No.”

It's tough when you know the audience is laughing AT you and not with you.
SaltyGoat (@SaltyGoat17) ~ {Replying to @CollinRugg} Everyone knows what a joke CNN is. The fact they still believe people take them seriously is what’s actually hilarious.
Julie Gunlock (@JGunlock) ~ {Replying to @CollinRugg} Yes @kaitlancollins, that's a laugh line because you and your network are a joke. But enjoy the paycheck.
