Stephen Colbert's week-long series on New Zealand is airing on his talk show this week, and the first segment, which screened last night, featured a Lorde prank and plenty of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
NZ Herald TV columnist Anna Murray reckoned "America (and New Zealand) should prepare to be completely charmed." So was this the case?
Reactions from some American viewers lean towards a yes.
"Stephen Colbert's New Zealand trip is already my favourite thing on a late night talk show...in the entire year?" Concluded one fan.
