Top 5 Political Punch Lines From Late Night Talk Shows
Politics continues to dominate late night talk shows. From Stephen Colbert to Jimmy Fallon, every late night host’s monologues are full of political jokes. Since it’s impossible to catch the monologues from every late night talk show, we put together the five best political punch lines of the week.
On The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon combined sports and politics when he mentioned the fact that Cleveland Cavaliers star Kyrie Irving thinks the Earth is flat. He added, “Today he was named an education ambassador by Betsy DeVos.”
After the Washington Post added “Democracy Dies in Darkness” to its masthead, The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert revealed the Post’s rejected alternatives, such as “Come at me, bro” and “We took down Nixon — Who wants next?”
Donald Trump has reportedly made six trips to golf courses in his first month as president, which has upset a lot of people. On The Late Late Show, James Corden was all for it, saying, “If that’s four hours a day that he’s not tweeting, signing executive orders, or pissing off Sweden, have at it. Go nuts. Here, take my clubs.”
