Mere hours after Donald Trump announced that he’s also joining the growing number of Republicans who plan to run for President, making promises such as repealing Obamacare and building a giant wall on the Mexican border (and making Mexico pay for it), Stephen Colbert dropped his own announcement, complete with a Trump-style combover (frontcomb? a bald man’s bangs?): he is still hosting Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

But beyond reiterating what we already know about his upcoming hosting stint on the CBS late-night talk show, Colbert also ranted about Mexico, China, and unemployment by invoking Trump’s bullyish New York accent before bringing out an assortment of women, saying, “I assume one of these women is my wife, some of them might be my daughters. Whichever one is my wife, she is my rock. The others are trusted confidants. Whoever’s left over will be appearing at Trump casinos later this month.”

Ultimately, though, Colbert poked fun at Trump and nodded to what we all know for certain: Trump’s latest presidential campaign is as big of a joke as the last one. “Donald Trump is running for President,” Colbert said. “He’s going to make late-night television great again.”
