Stephen Colbert and Alan Cumming’s ‘Billionaires Are Actually Good’ anthem is an eerie hit.
According to Forbes, there are currently more billionaires on Earth than ever before, totaling over 3,000. This group includes many notable figures, such as the billionaire tech leaders who were present at former president Donald Trump’s inauguration, as well as the 13 billionaires currently in office.
On Tuesday night’s Late Show, Stephen Colbert dedicated a song to those who prefer luxury items during times of crisis. He joined forces with The Traitors and Doctor Who icon Alan Cumming for a catchy tune celebrating the idea that billionaires have their merits. “Are they watching? Of course they are! Sing it loud!” Colbert enthusiastically addresses a surveillance camera. “Hey boss! You’re one of the good ones; hope you’re enjoying the song!”
The pastel-hued track features an unforgettable line: “Sing their praises and maybe when we are done, they’ll fuck off and colonise the sun.”
