17 Apr
Summary
- Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction.
- Stephen Colbert mocked the gaffe on The Late Show.
- Colbert also referenced Snakes on a Plane in his prayer.
Stephen Colbert recently lampooned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on "The Late Show" for mistakenly quoting a passage from Quentin Tarantino's film "Pulp Fiction" as if it were a Bible verse. Colbert pointed out the gaffe during his monologue, playing clips that juxtaposed Hegseth's speech with Samuel L. Jackson's iconic delivery of the same lines from the 1994 crime drama.
Colbert playfully referred to the misattributed quote as coming from the "gospel of Quentin Tarantino." He further entertained the audience by weaving popular movie quotes into his own prayer, including a direct nod to Samuel L. Jackson's famous lines from "Snakes on a Plane." The host's comedic take on the Pentagon official's faux pas resonated with viewers.
