  • WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW"."

  • I'M STEPHEN COLBERT.

  • I'VE GOT TO START WITH A GIANT SPORTS STORY OUT THERE.

  • THERE'S A THING CALLED THE EURO CUP SOCCER TOURNAMENT.

  • IT'S A HUGE SOMMER TAWRMT.

  • IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN FRANCE.

  • AND YESTERDAY, ICELAND, THE TINIEST NATION IN THE

  • TOURNAMENT, BEAT POWERHOUSE ENGLAND 2-1.

  • ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THIS IS THE WORST THING TO

  • HAPPEN TO ENGLAND IN FOUR DAYS.

  • ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) NOW-.

  • ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) NOW THE ICELANDIC SOCCER

  • COMMENTATOR HAS BECOME SOMETHING OF A GLOBAL PHENOMENON BECAUSE

  • OF JUST HOW EXCITED HE HAS GOTTEN CALLING ICELAND'S

  • VICTORIOUS GAMES.

  • AND LAST NIGHT HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT WHEN THE GAME ENDING.

  • (SCREAMING) NOW, I WANT TO ASSURE MY WORRIED

  • VIEWERS THAT THE ANNOUNCER'S HAND IS NOT CAUGHT IN A GARBAGE

  • DISPOSAL.

  • NOR IS HE-- NOR-- NORIS HE DYING IN A PARTICULARLY GRUESOME SCENE

  • FROM "GAME OF THRONES."

  • HE'S JUST EXCITED.

  • HE'S ACTUALLY DOING COMMENTARY RIGHT THERE.

  • WE CAN'T HEAR IT.

  • HE'S DOING COMMENTARY.

  • HERE IS THE ACTUAL TRANSLATION OF WHAT HE IS SAYING.

  • AND I PROMISE UPON I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP.

  • "THIS IS DONE!

  • THIS IS DONE!

  • WE ARE NEVER GOING HOME!

  • DID YOU SEE THAT?

  • DID YOU SEE THAT?

  • AMAZING!

  • I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

  • THIS IS A DREAM.

  • NEVER WAKE ME FROM THIS AMAZING DREAM!

  • LIVE THE WAY YOU WANT, ENGLAND.

  • ICELAND IS GOING TO PLAY FRANCE ON SUNDAY.

  • FRANCE, ICELAND!

  • YOU CAN GO HOME!

  • YOU CAN GO OUT OF EUROPE!

  • YOU CAN GO WHEREVER THE HELL YOU WANT!"

  • ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THEN THE VICTORIOUS ICELANDIC

  • TEAM CELEBRATED WITH THEIR TRADEMARK SLOW HAND CLAP,

  • JOINED, APPARENTLY, BY THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF ICELAND.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) AND THAT'S NOT TOO MUCH OF AN

  • EXAGGERATION, BECAUSE 10% OF ALL OF ICELAND'S POPULATION IS IN

  • FRANT RIGHT NOW FOR THE TOURNAMENT.

  • ICELAND IS SO DESERTED RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE ICELAND.

  • AND AFTER THE SHOCKING UPSET, THE COACH OF THE ENGLISH TEAM

  • IMMEDIATELY RESIGNED.

  • JUST LIKE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON DID AFTER THE

  • BREXIT VOTE.

  • SO, APPARENTLY, IN ENGLAND, "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON" HAS

  • BECOME, "(BLEEP) THIS!

  • I'M OUTTA HERE!" ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
