Former President Bill Clinton was given a mulligan from host Stephen Colbert when he appeared on CBS’s “The Late Show” with his co-author James Patterson on Tuesday night following a contentious interview with NBC the previous day.

“I notice you did not enjoy that entire interview. I want you to enjoy this one, but I do want to ask you something: Would you like a do-over on that answer?” Colbert said. “Do you understand why some people thought it was a tone-deaf response?”
