Stephen Colbert had the best response to Donald Trump’s tweets about the James Comey “tapes” this afternoon when he revealed some pretty exciting Late Show news:
.@realDonaldTrump Don’t worry, Mr. President. I’m in Russia. If the “tapes” exist, I’ll bring you back a copy! pic.twitter.com/v5flvAMtFY

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Colbert is, indeed, currently in Russia taping a Late Show segment for an upcoming episode, which makes sense considering CBS is set to air Late Show reruns tonight and tomorrow night, with Colbert scheduled to return for Monday night’s episode. Colbert is not the first late night host to head to Russia in recent years – John Oliver traveled there to interview Edward Snowden in 2015 – but he is the first late night show to visit Russia since Trump became president. Good luck finding those tapes, Stephen!
