After the ex-president seemed to fall asleep in court, Jimmy Kimmel said it was “nice to see even Donald Trump is exhausted by Donald Trump.”
Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night’s highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.
‘Dozo the Clown’
Donald Trump’s trial kicked off with jury selection in New York on Monday.
“The trial began at 10 a.m. with the court clerk announcing, ‘The People of the State of New York vs. Donald J. Trump,’ followed by 15 minutes of thunderous applause,” Jimmy Kimmel said on Monday.
“‘The People of the State of New York?’ That’s us!” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“The trial is expected to last six weeks — or until the courtroom sketch artist runs out of orange, whichever comes first.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
Late night hosts were amused by the reports of Trump nodding off during the proceedings.
“Imagine committing so many crimes you get bored at your own trial.” — JON STEWART
“If Biden is Sleepy Joe, I guess that makes you Dozo the Clown.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Imagine if Joe Biden fell asleep in the court on the first day of his trial. Trump would be calling him ‘Comatose Joe.’ Fox News would be talking about this until Christmas. But not old Donny Nappleseed.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Multiple reports said Trump’s head drooped until his chin hit his chest, which, I don’t know, maybe he was just following the price of his Truth Social stock. Either way, it’s nice to see even Donald Trump is exhausted by Donald Trump.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
The Punchiest Punchlines (‘Gettysburg: Wow’ Edition)
“This weekend, our former president and illustrious historian Donald J. Trump spoke near one of America’s most hallowed battlefields, and if you thought Lincoln consecrated Gettysburg with his soaring rhetoric, well, buckle up.” — JON STEWART
“You have to hand it to this guy: On the weekend before his unprecedented criminal trial begins, he somehow manages to overshadow it with this broken-brained interpretation of what happened at Gettysburg during the Civil War.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“That is plagiarized almost directly from my seventh-grade book report, ‘Gettysburg: Wow.’” — JON STEWART
“What a stirring orator. I look forward to Ken Burns’s updated documentary.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“He always sounds like a kid who forgot he had an oral report due on that day.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
”Get that man on ‘Drunk History,’ will you?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
