Stephen Colbert has a theory on why President Trump picked Brett Kavanaugh for Supreme Court

"I'm still recovering from watching 'America's Next Top Justice," Stephen Colbert confessed at the top of Tuesday's "Late Show" episode, a day after the president named his choice for the Supreme Court seat being vacated by Anthony Kennedy. "I had a little drinking game: I would pour myself a drink every time my glass was empty. I won!"

He continued, "Of course, the real winner was federal appeals court judge and cover model for 'Generic Dads Monthly,' Brett Kavanaugh, which means I have Trump nomination Bingo! See, it's all squares that say 'white guy.' I won. And lost." (Though he admitted, "It's not a hard game to play.")

Colbert also admitted that he thinks the name Brett lacks the gravitas needed for a justice on the land's highest court. "That sounds less like a Supreme Court justice and more like a waiter at Ruby Tuesday's," he observed, before imagining Kananaugh greeting customers in a robe covered with pins. "Hi, I'm Brett, I'll be your Supreme Court justice tonight! Before you sit down, let me just clear away these rights for you."

The comedian also wondered if Kavanaugh's name had Trump thinking of someone else.

"His full name is Brett Michael Kanavaugh, so it is possible Trump thought he was nominating Poison lead singer and winner of 'Celebrity Apprentice,' Brett Michaels. At least we'll know his stance on the landmark case of  Nothing v. a Good Time.' "
