back when the idea that a president would need a crisis manager seemed fantastic (the world jumped the shark)

This is a bittersweet night as we say goodbye to "Scandal," which wrapped up its seventh and final season tonight. "Scandal" premiered in 2012, back when the idea that a president would need a crisis manager seemed fantastic. That is obviously not the case anymore. Trump getting elected while you're writing a fictional show about the White House really isn't fair — it's like what would happen to "Game of Thrones" if they suddenly discovered that there ARE dragons flying around. --Jimmy Kimmel

This is the first time a TV show ended because the world jumped the shark instead of the other way around. --Jimmy Kimmel

“OK, now do silly one when you hold up nuclear codes.” (Covered)

The big story still is Trump firing FBI Director James Comey, and it turns out Comey had six years left on his 10-year term. It’s easier get out of your FBI contract than it is your AT&T contract. –Jimmy Fallon

In the middle of all this, Trump met with the Russian foreign minister yesterday and the White House says Russia tricked them by posting photos of the meeting. They got suspicious when the photographer told Trump, “OK, now do silly one when you hold up nuclear codes.” –Jimmy Fallon

The next season of “Scandal” will be its last. ABC is ending “Scandal.” Fortunately, the Trump White House picked it up for four more seasons. –Jimmy Fallon

The big story right now is the new report claiming that Russia has enough embarrassing material on Donald Trump to blackmail him. On the other hand, so does anyone who follows Trump on Twitter. –Jimmy Kimmel

There will be a “20/20” special on Trump’s inauguration that has forced ABC to push back its premieres of “Scandal” and “How to Get Away With Murder.” Yeah, to make room for the special about Trump called “Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder.” –Jimmy Kimmel

And you know things are bad in the Republican Party when...

The cast of ABC’s "Scandal" is set to appear at a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton later this month. Unless she loses in New York, in which case she’d like to speak with the folks at "How to Get Away With Murder." –Seth Meyers

House Speaker Paul Ryan this afternoon issued a formal statement ruling himself out as a potential replacement candidate if there is a contested Republican convention. And you know things are bad in the Republican Party when people who aren’t even running are dropping out of the race. –Seth Meyers

Tomorrow night will be Kobe Bryant’s last NBA game. He says he's looking forward to retirement and his teammates are looking forward to finding out what the ball feels like. –Seth Meyers

Don’t Worry I Was Adopted

Hillary came to Los Angeles and she visited the set of the political drama "Scandal." There was an awkward moment when Hillary told the writers, "Man, have I got some ideas for you." –Conan O’Brien

Despite Jeb Bush’s poor campaign, some analysts are already talking about the political rise of his son, George P. Bush. George P. Bush has already got his campaign slogan: "Don’t Worry I Was Adopted." –Conan O’Brien

he barely got 14 hours of sleep last night

We’re now a week away from the Super Tuesday primaries and Ben Carson’s so excited he barely got 14 hours of sleep last night. –Seth Meyers

At a rally in Las Vegas last night Donald Trump told supporters he’d like to punch protesters in the face. Though he looks more like the kind of guy who would stroke a white cat while somebody else punched you in the face. –Seth Meyers

Hillary Clinton recently visited the set of the hit ABC show “Scandal.” Is that really the show you should be visiting right now? Why not drop by the set of “I Did Nothing Wrong,” or maybe “There Was Nothing Illegal in Those Emails!” –Seth Meyers

Lego has announced that to “mirror the world we live in today” the company will be adding working mom, handicapped, and stay-at-home dad figurines. Just a side note, the handicapped Lego figurine became disabled after he stepped on a Lego barefoot. –Seth Meyers
