Mike Pence refused to watch men’s doubles luge (The oiled-up flag bearer from Tonga will still be there, right?)

December 2021

“President Biden on Monday announced that the U.S. would not be sending diplomats to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, citing China’s human rights abuses. And that’s a real shame that the Americans officials won’t be at the Olympics, because you realize Kamala Harris was about to become the first Black woman to ever watch a hockey game.” — Trevor Noah

“That’s the one cool reason to be president, right? Most of us, if we don’t want to do something, we have to come up with some lame excuse, and then everyone else shows up and talks about how he didn’t come. But if you are president, you can just be like, ‘Diplomatic boycott: No one is allowed to attend Emily’s birthday brunch.’” — Trevor Noah

“Nothing will convince China to change their ways like not sending the secretary of agriculture to the Olympics.” —Jimmy Fallon

“When the news broke, everyone’s mom was like, ‘The oiled-up flag bearer from Tonga will still be there, right?’” —Jimmy Fallon

“It’s different from our last Olympic diplomatic boycott, which was just Mike Pence refusing to watch men’s doubles luge.” —Jimmy Fallon
