5. The Colbert Westworld Skit

One of the night's silly skits that actually worked surprisingly well saw Stephen Colbert appear to "glitch" on stage before being dragged off by two hazmat-clad men, who then transported him to a diagnostic facility from Westworld.

There a now-nude Colbert was met by Jeffrey Wright, fully in character as Bernard Lowe, who asked him, "Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?", to which he hilariously replied, "Every day since November 8th."

As if that wasn't fantastic enough, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Tituss Burgess then showed up in some, um, cowboy gear, because why not?

The skit was funny and didn't outstay its welcome, which is a lot more than can be said for most of the night's other cutaways.
