"There are 249 millionaires in Congress. Remember a couple of years ago when this new Congress told us they had the solution to the recession? Apparently, they didn't share it with the rest of us." –Jay Leno

"The George W. Bush library design was unveiled this week by former First Lady Laura Bush. Did you know that she was a librarian when she first met George? Did you know that? In fact, she's the only thing he ever checked out of a library." –Jay Leno

“Herschel Walker is running neck and neck with the incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock in the Georgia Senate runoff. Republicans have been pulling out all the stops and Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham have spent more time with him than he spent with all of his children combined.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“Mike Lindell, the MyPillow chief who has thrown his tin foil hat into the ring to become the new head of the RNC but who has the tendency to make big announcements that never pan out. You do have to admire his crack-headed optimism, but he is being sued for $1.3 Billion by Dominion and is almost certainly gonna lose so he needs to think of higher-paying jobs like being an art thief or being Beyoncé.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“Donald Trump is bigly upset about the investigation into classified documents he took and his part in the January 6th insurrection and is blaming special counsel Jack Smith in a recent online rant. In the same rant, though, he also admitted to taking the documents ‘openly and transparently’. This isn’t a defense, it’s a confession, and maybe we don’t need a special counsel – he just closed the case himself.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“We are delighted over the US team’s win over Iran at the World Cup: It was win or go home, and we won, baby! It was a tense and thrilling match and I feel comfortable about the team’s next game opposite the Netherlands. Oh, we can take the Dutch. I assume they play in clogs.” —Stephen Colbert
“Trump’s dinner with Nick Fuentes, a prominent white supremacist, we don’t know exactly what happened at that dinner except that nobody ordered latkes.” —Trevor Noah
“Several Republicans criticized Trump for hosting two neo-Nazis. It’s so funny to watch Republicans try to chastise Trump for hanging out with someone who has the exact same views as him without chastising Trump for having those views.” —Trevor Noah
“It is nice to see Republican officials speak out against Trump for a change, but there tends to be a predictable formula. They get mad for a little while but get back together with him in the end. Trump scandals are basically like Hallmark movies … except Trump never actually changes and becomes a better person.” —Trevor Noah

"What a week this has been. If you watched last night, I guess you know, Barack Obama got beat up by a girl. In her speech last night, Sarah Palin mocked Obama for giving speeches in front of adoring crowds and standing in front of a stage backdrop. Ironically, Palin did so in front of an adoring crowd standing in front of a stage backdrop." --Jay Leno
"President Bush has picked FOX newsman Tony Snow to be his press secretary. Snow once said that President Bush was an embarrassment, a leader who has lost control of the federal budget, and the architect of a listless domestic policy. Good thing for Snow Bush doesn't read the newspapers." --Jay Leno
"Things did not go well at the White House St. Patrick's Day party. Did you hear what happened? Dick Cheney shot a leprechaun." --Jay Leno
President Bush's approval rating has reached a record low -- 31%. Wow. His popularity is so low now, on his Facebook page, he only has imaginary friends." --Jay Leno

Some TV critics have accused Donald Trump's show The Apprentice of being nothing but a year-long infomercial for Trump's company. When asked to comment, Donald Trump said, “Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump.” --Conan O’Brien 4/16/2004
There's a new Paris Hilton sex video. When asked about it Hilton said, “I feel like the first one left a lot of unanswered questions.” --Conan O’Brien 9/28/2004

“There was a meeting of the mindless at Mar-a-Lago. You know this one was bad because Trump posted not one but three messages on his imaginary social media site trying to distance himself. Only Donald Trump would defend himself by saying ‘I was only planning to eat with one antisemite, OK?’” —Jimmy Kimmel
“I am particularly interested in the moment Ye asked Trump to be his vice-president for his 2024 presidential campaign. I would’ve loved to have been a fly on the ketchup-colored walls for that conversation. That moment where Kanye asks Trump to be his running mate? No amount of money I wouldn’t give to have seen that. It’s terrifying to think of Trump as president again, but it’s amazing to think of him as vice-president. Imagine him nodding and clapping during the standing ovation, politely sitting down and standing up. We get to watch him die inside every minute of every day.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“In a separate statement, Trump claimed he didn’t know who Nick Fuentes was nor that he was coming to dinner. Which is worse? Having the guy over for dinner, or having no idea you’re letting a random racist into a house that was until very recently was full of unguarded top secret documents?” —Jimmy Kimmel

“The meeting has become a ‘he-said, Ye-said’ affair, after Ye said Trump became upset after he was asked to be Ye’s running mate in 2024. You asked him to be your vice-president? How would that even work? Can you send a mob to hang yourself?” —Stephen Colbert
“So that’s Ye’s story, but the former president apparently attended a different, completely insane dinner, posting on Truth Social afterwards that he and Ye ‘got along great’ and that the rapper ‘expressed no anti-Semitism’. Not sure that helps – ‘I had a lovely dinner with Jeffery Dahmer, we got along great, left with all my organs.’” —Stephen Colbert
“Trump also put out a statement on Fuentes, saying the dinner was supposed to be ‘Kanye and me only’ and that Fuentes was ‘a guest whom I had never met and knew nothing about’. OK, I’m not sure ‘I was only scheduled to have dinner with one famous antisemite’ is the defense he thinks it is.” —Stephen Colbert
“I can’t imagine having dinner with someone so disgusting, and you have no idea which of those three guys I’m talking about, Kanye West, Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, or Donald Trump.” —Stephen Colbert

“Ever since Donald Trump announced that he would be running for re-election in 2024, many have been wondering ‘will this finally be the moment when he becomes presidential?’ The former president recently hosted a dinner party at Mar-a-Lago for Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, and the Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. Well, judging by his recent dinner party, the computer says NO.” —Trevor Noah
“First of all, this whole story sounds like the set-up to one of those jokes that your uncle tells you at dinner, you know? Like ‘OK, so a racist billionaire, an antisemitic rapper and a white supremacist walk into a bar …’” —Trevor Noah
“According to Ye, Trump became upset when the rapper asked him to be his running mate for 2024. The fact that Trump got so mad at Kanye just shows you where his priorities are. He has no problem hosting a guy who wants to go ‘deathcon 3 on the Jews’ or a Holocaust denier who he brought to dinner with him whom he got along with. But if you ever suggest that he should be number two on someone’s ticket, Trump will be like, ‘you disgust me, sir. Talk like that has no place in America.’” —Trevor Noah

A pair of zebras got loose in downtown Philadelphia this weekend after escaping from a nearby circus. They were chased down and captured almost immediately by Eagles fans who mistook them for referees. –Seth Meyers

"Yes, (Jack Abramoff attended) only two Hanukkah receptions (at the White House). But the bribes miraculously lasted for 8 whole days." --Jon Stewart
"The Republican Party is still dealing with the fallout from the Jack Abramoff corruption scandal. The latest victim: Ohio Congressman and Three-Time World Comb-Over Champion Bob Ney. Ney stepped down from his position as House Administration Committee chairman this week while he's under investigation. That chairmanship goes to the next highest ranking Republican on the committee, Representative Giant Pile Of Jack Abramoff's Money." –Jon Stewart
"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad became the first Middle Eastern leader to visit Iraq since Saddam Hussein fell, of let's say natural causes. Obviously, a visit from the Iranian leader to Iraq prompts some concern, and still President Bush has a clear message he would like the Iraqis to deliver to Ahmadinejad [on screen: President Bush saying, 'The message needs to be quit sending in sophisticated equipment that is killing our citizens. Stop exporting terror. The international community is serious about continuing to isolate Iran']. A strong message to send, but the Iraqi government owes us. I mean, they owe their life to us. Certainly the president's message will be delivered. Here's Ahmadinejad getting off the plane. They'll hit him. Wait, what? [on screen: Ahmadinejad arrives to a red carpet and a child with flowers]. There appears to be kissing. Alright, now here's where they'll execute him. No, he's being greeted by a child with flowers. A red carpet and a child with flowers. Okay. To the untrained eye that may appear to be gracious, maybe even a warm welcome, but I do want to point out that that little girl gave him chrysanthemums. Everyone knows he is an orchid guy, so that's a bit of a f— you." --Jon Stewart

"Last night, they had the 60th Emmy awards. What a star-studded affair that was. There were more celebrities there than a Barack Obama fundraiser. It was unbelievable. I guess the miniseries 'John Adams' set a new Emmy record last night. 13 wins. So, a guy from the 1700s can still win today. That is good news for John McCain." --Jay Leno
