"Trump's teensy little doll hands": Stephen Colbert ushers Ben Carson out with a shot at Donald Trump

Colbert also pokes fun at Carson's life story: "Sadly, voters just don't trust someone who is bad at murder"

In another edition of his popular "Hungry for Power Games" segment, "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert paid tribute to the most recently fallen: Ben Carson.

"So few remain," Colbert said of the remaining primary field. "You can barely count them on one of Trump's teensy little doll hands."

"Retired neurosurgeon and Ambien-American Ben Carson announced that he was leaving the race," he continued. "He failed to win a single state on Super Tuesday -- or on Average Wednesday."

Despite a compelling origin story -- in which a young Carson was saved from a life on the streets by a fortuitous belt buckle -- Colbert said, "Sadly, voters just don't trust someone who is bad at murder."
