Who let them have Google?! (Why would anyone need five iPhone cables?)


Sarah Huckabee Sanders was fact-checked by Fox News during a live interview. Sarah was shocked and showed off her “Oh, sh*t face!” She cannot believe she is being fact-checked by someone on Fox News. As soon as that interviewed ended, she stormed off the set and screamed, "Who let them have Google?!" --Seth Meyers

The government shutdown has entered its third week, and I can't say I'm surprised. Shutdowns are a pattern with him. If Trump had a casino, it shut down. He's in charge of the government, it shut down. He married Melania, she shut down! --Seth Meyers

According to Reuters, Google moved $22.7 billion to Bermuda in 2017 through a Dutch shell company to avoid taxes. While over at Bing, you're no longer allowed to flush if it's just pee. --Seth Meyers

The NYPD is looking for a man who recently broke into an Apple store and stole $75,000 worth of products. That is crazy. Why would anyone need five iPhone cables? --Seth Meyers

For Donald Trump they had to invent a new scale (The Bottomless Pinocchio)


The Washington Post fact checkers are changing their policy. It used to be that when a politician would lie, The Post would judge the lie on a scale of one to four Pinocchio’s. But Trump is such a prolific liar, they’ve had to introduce a new level: The Bottomless Pinocchio. 

To qualify for this Bottomless Pinocchio rating, “The claims must have received three or four Pinocchio’s from the fact checker, and they must have been repeated at least 20 times.” 

But so far The Post has not identified any other current elected official who meets the standard other than Trump. Well, that’s quite a distinction. For Donald Trump they had to invent a new scale. Just like the one at the White House that only goes to 239 pounds. --Stephen Colbert

Book of Broads, Notebook of Nipples, whatever...



"Couple of things: One, the women’s group was called MassGAP and they approached Governor Romney, not the other way around. And two, my guess is they did not refer to what they presented as a binder full of women, but perhaps as an organized collection of qualified resumes. But hey, Binder of Women, Book of Broads, Notebook of Nipples, whatever." –Jon Stewart




"The time for fact checking is after the event when voters have stopped watching. We should not be sullying their emotional reactions with accuracy." –Stephen Colbert, on Candy Crowley fact-checking Mitt Romney during the presidential debate




"Shocking. A conservative Republican congressman was caught having an illicit affair -- and it wasn't with a man, woohoo!" –Stephen Colbert
