While some netizens believed the news immediately, others correctly pointed out that no announcement is official until late-night talk show host and comedian Stephen Colbert announces it on his program.
This did not discourage Powell’s fans, who had high hopes of him being declared the winner this year. “It won’t be confirmed until Stephen Colbert announces it, but there’s a 95% chance, considering he’s attractive and had a super successful year—typically the kind of person they look for!”
