Stephen Colbert returned from a week of a holiday to news of a new UK prime minister: Rishi Sunak, the former finance minister, who on Tuesday became Britain’s first prime minister of south Asian descent, its first Hindu prime minister and the nation’s first leader of color. “Which means Britons will be able to run their entire power grid off the turbines connected to Queen Victoria spinning in her grave,” the Late Show host joked.
