Next time you’re in Rupert’s office, make sure you’re not standing on top of any trapdoors (It’s like that, but without Simon Cowell)

“The Conservative Political Action Conference, also known as CPAC, kicked off this week in Maryland. It’s kinda hard to explain. Every like low-rent radio host and podcast racist with a dye job and a fleece vest shows up to try to out-crazy each other. Remember the first seasons of American Idol? When the losers would just line up and get mowed down by Simon Cowell? It’s like that, but without Simon Cowell.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“One notable absentee from this year’s CPAC is Mike Pence. Not only is the former vice-poodle skipping CPAC this year, he appears to be distancing himself further from his former boss. Asked by CBS News if he would support Trump as the Republican nominee for 2024, Pence deferred: ‘Well, I think we’ll have better choices, and I really trust Republican voters.’ So, no. Has anyone dodged more questions than Mike Pence? This man was Donald Trump’s vice-president and he wouldn’t vote for him. Do you realize how unusual that is? It’s like if macaroni said goodbye to cheese.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“Looking into the defamation lawsuit against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems. For years now, the shtick over at Fox should be the same. They lie to their viewers while simultaneously telling those same viewers that it’s the rest of the media who’s lying to them and that Fox is the only outlet telling the truth. But their shtick is falling apart now that we have definitive proof in these court filings from the billion-dollar Dominion lawsuit that were not only lying, but they knew they were lying. Billionaire Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch said under oath that Fox News executives who knowingly allowed lies about the 2020 election to be broadcast ‘should be reprimanded’ or ‘maybe got rid of’. Wow, notice he didn’t say fired. He said ‘got rid of’. I’d be a little nervous if I worked over at Fox News. Next time you’re in Rupert’s office, make sure you’re not standing on top of any trapdoors.” —Seth Meyers
