Trump’s controversial actions have created an incredible opportunity for our nation’s best satirists, so this week I’m highlighting late-night clips that lampooned his latest moves. First off, Saturday Night Live had a great opening sketch last weekend that even featured alum Mike Myers! Enjoy:
Jimmy Kimmel was on fire this week, dishing out Trump jokes about the Zelensky meeting disaster, and there’s also a bonus segment of Guillermo at the Oscars which is always super fun:
A few nights later, Kimmel delivered an incredible take-down of Trump’s lie-filled speech in Congress:
The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart featured a genius analogy linking Trump and John Cena this week. Do yourself a favor and check it out:
And finally, a bonus clip from Colbert. I love their “Russian State TV” parodies, and this one does not disappoint:
Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
