A video posted online which showed that the “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert was taking over the microphone on stage in Cleveland in a “Hunger Games” themed prank at the site of the Republican National Convention, which begins Monday.

The video showed Colbert, standing behind the podium saying it’s his honor “to hereby launch and begin the 2016 Republican hungry for power games” and she was banging a gavel. A man who appeared to be a security confronted Colbert, and said, “I know I’m not supposed to be up here, but let’s be honest, neither is Donald Trump” before being led off stage.

Colbert dressed like "Hunger Games" emcee Caesar Flickerman for the spoof, with a blue wig  while he worn the same getup on his show in a recurring bit about the presidential campaign.
