“Former President Donald Trump is denying reports that, in 2019, he asked advisers and lawyers what the Department of Justice and other federal institutions could do ‘to probe or mitigate Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedy mischief-makers.’ I think that I should get a higher billing on Trump’s list of nuisances, my name should be in lights on the stadium where they’re executing us for our terrible impressions of him! Folks, this is dangerous, disturbing, un-American — and why do I get lumped in with ‘other comedy mischief-makers’? I don’t get it! What’s a guy gotta do? All due respect to my dear friend James Tiberius Kimmel, but if the D.O.J. thugs are kicking down doors to round up the late-night chuckleheads to drag us off to Mar-a-Gulago to be assassinated, I should get more than ‘and the rest.’ I do not appreciate the ‘Mary Ann and Professor’ treatment here!” — Stephen Colbert
“It’s strange. There has not been a presidential overreaction like this since Nixon sent Navy SEALs to assassinate the Smothers Brothers.” — Stephen Colbert

of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
