The spotlight is about to be on the city of Chicago next week as the 2024 Democratic National Convention is set to be held at the United Center from Monday to Thursday.
With media flocking to Chicago ahead of the event, Stephen Colbert caught a game at Wrigley Field as the Cubs faced off against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday. While in the concourse, the host of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on CBS made his presence known to fans outside the stadium by bearing gifts.
Colbert first tossed down baseballs to a few lucky fans, ultimately dumping an entire bag.

That wasn’t all, however, as he also used a fishing reel (?) to precariously send beers and hot dogs down to the fans below.

Now there’s something you don’t see on your typical Friday afternoon at the ballpark.
