Lady Margaret Cadbury Egg Thatcher Buckingham Paddingtonshire-on-Avon (finally a sequel to Macbeth)

December 2020

“It turns out — this is real — the second person to get the vaccine was an 81-year-old man named William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare — that can’t be a mistake. They had to have done that for P.R. because that’s the most English name an English person could have, next to Lady Margaret Cadbury Egg Thatcher Buckingham Paddingtonshire-on-Avon.” —Stephen Colbert

“Welcome back to life, Bill. Maybe we’ll finally get a sequel to ‘Macbeth.’” —Jimmy Kimmel

“Though he was a real drama queen about getting it: [imitating William Shakespeare] ‘Is this a dagger, which I see before me? The handle toward my hand?’” —Seth Meyers

 

Woo! Where are all my party girls at? (Who is that? Who? Who?!)

“Congratulations to 90-year-old Margaret Keenan of Britain on being the first person to receive Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine as part of a mass inoculation program that began on Tuesday, which locals referred to as V-Day. Well, of course, Britain’s most important citizens are all old: the queen, Dumbledore, even that one doctor who’s been on TV for over 50 years. Who is that? Who? Who?!” —Stephen Colbert

“Although, on the other hand, she’s the only person in the whole country who is now safe to go out, so she’s just going to be out hitting the club, like, ‘Woo! Where are all my party girls at? Seriously, where is everybody?’” —Trevor Noah

“That’s right, 90-year-old Margaret Keenan is the first patient in the world to receive the Pfizer vaccine. Or as the queen put it, ‘Sure. Sure, she was.’” —Jimmy Fallon

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”

 

I’d like a second opinion! (he looks less grim this year)

December 2020

“Trump also promised, without evidence, that Covid infection rates in the US will ‘skyrocket downward’. Ah, yes, that classic symbol of success: a rocket in the sky, plummeting toward the ground. It’s like they say: shoot for the moon – if you miss, you will die alone in a frozen metal tube.” —Stephen Colbert

“Meanwhile, the president once again tried to overturn the election with two phone calls to the Republican speaker of Pennsylvania’s house of representatives, days after he pressured Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp to convene a special legislative session to override the state’s election results (Kemp declined). Come on, man, at a certain point you have to understand that it is over! There’s a reason you don’t see headstones that say, ‘I’d like a second opinion!’” —Stephen Colbert

“It’s horrifying, but at this point, no one should be surprised. Say what you will, but at least the president called. It’s so much more personal than destroying democracy by text.” —Stephen Colbert
