Pelosi laments end of ‘Colbert Report’

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is lamenting the end of “The Colbert Report,” saying it’s a “loss for ‘truthiness’ advocates across America.”

The Comedy Central series ends its run Thursday night. Host Stephen Colbert is poised to take the reins at CBS’s “The Late Show,” when David Letterman retires next year.

{mosads}The House minority leader appeared in a sketch earlier this month with Colbert, who plays a faux cable news host on the show. Pelosi stretched her acting muscles as a wheelie-popping bike cop who preached safety to Colbert and Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.).

Pelosi posted on Instagram on Thursday:

The Nation mourns as @thecolbertreport's grand finale airs this evening — a loss for "truthiness" advocates across America! I'm proud to dedicate this #ThrowbackThursday in your honor, @stephencolbert: goo.gl/D0akns (VIDEO) #TBT
