It's diet! It's good for me. I can't even taste the rum (Give me a hand spreading this!)
And while Trump was on the foxy, friendly "Fox & Friends," we got an update on Trump's personal physician, Dr. Ronny Jackson. Dr. Jackson has been under fire for drinking on the job and doling out prescription medication. And this morning, Dr. Jackson withdrew as the nominee to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs. Yup. Yeah. Maybe not the right guy for the job. --Stephen Colbert
Dr. Jackson's withdrawal is not exactly a surprise. This scandal keeps getting worse. For instance, today we learned that his on-the-job alcohol use was so routine that there was “a standing order to leave a bottle of rum and Diet Coke in Dr. Jackson's hotel room on official travel." Oh, he's not just drinking. He's “freshman Spring Break in Cancun" drinking. "It's diet! It's good for me. I can't even taste the rum." --Stephen Colbert
But Jackson denies the charges and says he's bowing out because these false allegations have become a distraction for the president. To be fair, jangly keys are a distraction for this president. --Stephen Colbert

The secret ingredient is changing the subject (Buck's famous scrambled eggs!)
When asked to give himself a letter grade, Trump showed his trademark humility: [Trump clip] “I would give myself an A-plus. Nobody has done what I’ve been able to do, and I did it despite the fact that I have a phony cloud over my head that doesn’t exist.” Sir, that’s not a phony cloud — that’s your hair. --Stephen Colbert
This interview was insane. It was rambling. It was so loud. It sounded like he was shouting the whole time. I just had the image of an unbathed Donald Trump shambling around in his bathrobe. Neither “Fox” nor “Friend” could get a word in edgewise. --Stephen Colbert
But in their defense, they had to rush the leader of the free world off the phone to get to their actual next news segment: "Buck's famous scrambled eggs!" The secret ingredient is changing the subject. --Stephen Colbert

Let's do it on Melania's birthday ($130,000 worth)
The big story is that in his retrial today, Bill Cosby was found guilty of sexual assault. You know, in the MeToo era, it is gratifying to see a sexual predator, however powerful or popular, finally brought to justice. But you can't forget, there are plenty still at large. Speaking of which, Donald Trump called in… --Stephen Colbert
Donald Trump called in to "Fox & Friends" today. Did anybody see it? Did anybody see this? Are you OK? Because the interview started strong, but then the president started talking. [Trump clip] “Good morning, and I picked a very, very special day because it is Melania's birthday. So I said, ‘Let's do it on Melania's birthday.’” He also tried that line on Melania — no go. --Stephen Colbert
Then, "Fox & Friends" asked the obvious follow-up: [“Fox & Friends” host] “Do you want to tell us what you got her?” [Trump clip] “Well, I better not get into that because I may get in trouble. Maybe I didn't get her so much. I'll tell you what, she has done — I got her a beautiful card.” You're a billionaire! You got your wife a card?! Do you know what she puts up with? I think she's earned a shopping spree. I'm going to say, about $130,000 worth. --Stephen Colbert

You will have to use your car in the McDonald's parking lot like the rest of us (Cry Closets)
Trump says he's too busy to give a birthday present to his wife. I mean, how much effort does it take to just leave the back door open and say, "You're free, Melania. I let you go.” --James Corden
Yesterday, at Madame Tussauds wax museum in New York, former White House press secretary Sean Spicer unveiled a wax figure of first lady Melania Trump to join the existing one of her husband. Those wax figures look so realistic. They actually have more chemistry than the real couple. --James Corden
Apparently, the library at the University of Utah has installed what they're calling a "Cry Closet." This is exactly what it sounds like. I promise this is true. It's a closet where stressed-out students can go to cry. Because there's nothing more comforting than being trapped in a tiny dark box. It's going to be a shock when those students graduate. Take it from me, there are no "Cry Closets" out here in the real world. You will have to use your car in the McDonald's parking lot like the rest of us. --James Corden

An A-plus! From where — Trump University? (Lies that led us to war)
This morning, President Trump made a special phone call to his favorite television program, "Fox & Friends." Trump and the hosts talked about lots of things, and at one point, he was asked to grade his presidency. Take a look at what he said. [Trump clip] “I would give myself an A-plus.” An A-plus! From where — Trump University? --James Corden
Trump called in on a special day. It's his wife Melania's birthday. Listen to what Trump says when they asked him what he got her as a gift. [Trump clip] “Well, I better not get into that ’cause I may get in trouble. Maybe I didn't get her so much. I tell you what, she has done — I got her a beautiful card. You know, I’m very busy to be out looking for presents, OK?” THIS is the question he doesn't lie about? Just lie about that one! We don't care, we’re fine with you lying about that. --James Corden

Hillary laughed so hard her pantsuit changed colors (Five Time Draft Dodger)
President Trump said today that he would rather have an election based on the popular vote, and when Hillary heard that, she laughed so hard her pantsuit changed colors. --Seth Meyers

"Just, No." No. No! NO! (But I Repeat Myself)
President Trump said today that he thinks NBC should treat him more fairly because he made the network a fortune, but I hate to break it to you Donald, [shows pic from “SNL” Trump spoof] that's Alec Baldwin. --Seth Meyers
It was reported that disgraced CBS anchor Charlie Rose is developing a show where he'll interview other men brought down by the MeToo movement, which brings us to a new segment called "Just, No." No. No! NO! --Seth Meyers

the guy who had to name his son Donald Jr. so he wouldn't forget it? (whose memory are you going to trust?)
President Trump in an interview today said former FBI director James Comey didn't write the memos detailing their interactions accurately, but whose memory are you going to trust? The guy who wrote everything down immediately, or the guy who had to name his son Donald Jr. so he wouldn't forget it? --Seth Meyers
The Senate today confirmed CIA director Mike Pompeo as secretary of state. Trump says he's excited, and looks forward to working with him for the next week or so. --Seth Meyers

I'm sure the only gift she wants is an open White House door, and a 10-minute head start (guilty on all counts)
Bill Cosby has been found guilty on all counts, and now faces 10 years in prison for each of his three crimes. Oh man, please tell me his lawyer is Michael Cohen. --Seth Meyers
In an interview today, President Trump said that he's been too busy to buy first lady Melania Trump a birthday gift. Oh please, I mean it wouldn't take that long. I'm sure the only gift she wants is an open White House door, and a 10-minute head start. --Seth Meyers
