WATCH: Bernie Sanders Brings Down The House With Hilarious Surprise Colbert Appearance

Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders brought down the house on the The Late Show Thursday night, showing up as the “mystery guest” to help host Stephen Colbert pull the lever and spin the “Wheel of News” — and ended up mockingly berating the host for how he treats his employees.

After briefly sitting down — following thunderous applause after being introduced — to answer a few questions about the campaign and his drive to round-up superdelegates, Sanders demanded an opportunity to pull the lever to “spin that damn wheel.”

“Hey! There is a human being down here,” Sanders exclaimed as found Late Show staffer Brendan holding up the lever while crouched behind the desk. “What is going on. What are you doing to this worker? What kind of operation are you running, Stephen?”

“It’s a talk show, Bernie,” Colbert smirked

Pulling the lever, the wheel landed on “t-shirt cannon,” and the audience went even crazier as the Vermont senator fired t-shirts to the crowd in the upper deck of the theater.

Well, he does now. Y'know since his big win.

But go ahead, act as if he wasn't being ignored (and still is dismissed)

They CHEERED!!! (5:15)

He is a huge hit with a crowd that is not one of his rally's. Random people that came to see a show. The crowd response is truly exciting. Bernie did a great job having fun with it all.

Go Bernie!!!!
