John Oliver and Stephen Colbert roast two of history’s most underwhelming presidents

You don’t hear much about Warren G. Harding and Zachary Taylor, which makes sense. Harding died after two years in office and subsequently had his legacy demolished by scandals. Taylor, after accomplishing relatively little in the first year of his presidency, died when he consumed too much milk and cherries at a Fourth of July party.
