There's probably a lesson in there somewhere (Starring Kevin Spacey)


“Yeah, there is a cease-fire, and that is very good news. And I do know that the phrase ‘very good news’ is not one you hear much these days. It’s kind of like ‘Be kind, rewind’ or ‘Starring Kevin Spacey’ or ‘Cuomosexual.’ I thought those days were gone forever.” — John Oliver

Well, yesterday, President Trump finally released what everyone has been asking him to release. George Santos. —Colin Jost

On the other hand, it's a great idea for a comedy show (Spies Who Lie)


September 2022

“At the Emmy Awards last night, we lost best variety series to Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, but even though we didn’t win, it was an honor just to get Covid from those who did win.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“There’s another book about the end of the Trump presidency, this time by the New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman. In Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America, Haberman reported that Trump had vowed after his defeat in the 2020 election to remain in the White House, telling an aide: ‘We’re never leaving.’ It was like when you try to tell a five-year-old it’s time to leave Disneyland. Fortunately, the Oval Office is oval, so you can’t really pile furniture up against the door. But how would he see that working? Would he and Joe Biden be roommates? I mean, on one hand it’s treason. On the other hand, it's a great idea for a comedy show.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“This week, the justice department said it would consider one of nominees from Trump’s legal team: Raymond Dearie, the former chief judge of the federal court in the eastern district of New York as special master. Let me tell you how this goes from here. Donald Trump just picked a guy who will decide whether or not, or to what extent, crimes have been committed. The justice department said OK, we accept this guy, Judge Dearie, as special master. He will look at the evidence, which is pretty clearcut, he will agree with the FBI, give them all the documents, and once he does, Trump will call him a puppet controlled by the Democrats. The whole thing is a distraction. It doesn’t matter what’s in the documents. Just taking them out of the White House is a crime under the Espionage and Presidential Records Acts, and they still don’t know whether Trump returned all the documents he took. Which, of course he didn’t. That’s like being unsure if Cookie Monster ate all the cookies.” —Jimmy Kimmel
