Jon Huntsman has been a national punchline for a while, but during his appearance on the Colbert show yesterday, he delivered an extremely awkward Chinese joke.

When Colbert played a sound effect of a stereotypical Chinese riff, Huntsman joked, “When’s the delivery food coming?” After a few seconds of awkward silence, Colbert replied, “Did that go over well in Beijing?” This portion of the interview was cut for time from the broadcast. “There was a gasp,” audience member Dana Cole told ABC News. “A little tasteless. No one really saw it coming. He got ahead of himself.”
The joke didn’t make the final cut in last night’s broadcast, but you can bet that it will leak soon.
