As he is winding down his contractual schedule, Stephen Colbert is ramping up his political activism on “The Late Show.” Continuing the parade of leftist and media faces, his recent guest was Jake Tapper to gab about the upcoming White House Correspondents' Dinner. 

In a clearly orchestrated conversation, Colbert just so happened to comment on Jake Tapper’s pocket square, which just so happened to be a cloth with the First Amendment on it, which just so happens to be what will be handed out to attendees at the Nerd Prom on Saturday.

And Jake just so happened to have another handkerchief for the host.

It was all just SO organic and natural.
