“They’re sticking their heads out of the roof like they’re going to Dictator Prom,” Jimmy Fallon said.
“Yep, Kim Jong-un and Putin made it official. Then they got a text from Trump that said, ‘Throuple?’” — JIMMY FALLON
“The two leaders also exchanged gifts, and Putin gave him a car. And because it was for Kim Jong-un, it was one of those plastic Jeeps.” — JIMMY FALLON
The Punchiest Punchlines (Happy Juneteenth Edition)
“Today is Juneteenth. That’s right. Or as it’s called on Fox News, it’s ‘Wednesday.’” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Trump posted all the usual angry garbage and made no mention of the holiday. But he doesn’t need to, because, as we all know, Trump has done more for Black Americans than almost anyone.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Historically, Juneteenth is a day for cookouts and barbecues but can also be a celebration with a day of rest and remembrance. Of course, the traditional way to celebrate Juneteenth is to hang out with your Black friends, listen to great music, and stand perfectly still.” — STEPHEN COLBERT, referencing President Joe Biden at a recent Juneteenth celebration
