#EndorseThis: Conan Unleashes Nuclear Punch Line On President Trump

First things first, our sincere apologies for yesterday’s missing version of #EndorseThis. Not that an alibi is needed with such loyal readership, but stormy travel skies, flawed WiFi at 20,000 feet, and a dead laptop combined to put your humble narrator out of commission for most of a day.

Now that we’re back to it, how about a fresh start? “ET” has perhaps been alienated (see what we did there?) with some many serious themes lately. This column is at-heart a late-night comedy review. No need for too many “very special episodes!”

Conan O’Brien fits in our new theme perfectly, leading off a Wednesday night monologue with several vicious punch lines about President Trump in the first 60 seconds.

But wait for the Trump-Roseanne joke with a subtle John McCain reference. It might be just a little too soon, but you can’t say it doesn’t feel right.

Conan. Destroyer of audience.

#EndorseThis: Conan Learns Donald Trump Was Elected President

Filmmaker Stanley Kubrick had a saying, “Tell a man in his office an H-bomb has been launched and it’s a thriller, tell him at home and it’s a drama, tell him in the bathroom and it’s a comedy.”

It appears that comedian par excellence Conan O’ Brien has not been at all aware of the political H-bomb that is President Donald J. Trump. How does the terrifying news catch him? Flush. On the shaving cream-laced jaw, that is.

Good thing fellow comics Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon are there to give a shocked O’ Brien emotional support. The pair of late-night “low-lifes” are each waging their own fresh battles with Trump. But they seem a little put off that Conan hasn’t been paying attention. To anything. Since 2014.

Come to think of it, Conan does appear to be spending a lot of time in the bathroom, bathing and man-scaping. Perhaps that’s where he’s been this entire time.

#EndorseThis: Conan Reveals Kim Jong Un’s Romantic Movie For President Trump

Reciprocity is the key to any successful relationship.

In today’s clip, Conan O’ Brien reveals Kim Jong-un’s loving short film dedicated to his new pal President Trump. Apparently smitten over Trump’s super-cheese short film that debuted at the Singapore summit, the DPRK dictator promises several goodies. Like throwing 45’s political opponents in a North Korean gulag. But the offer comes with a catch.

Oh, and don’t worry, it’s not actually real. The last thing anyone wants to see is Trump’s opponents, from the Republican or Democratic side, thrown into one of Kim Jong-un’s “re-education” camps.

Except for Ted Cruz. Most of us would probably be OK with that on some level.

#EndorseThis: Conan Nails Trump On ‘Attitude’ While Departing For Haiti

Comedian and human-rights activist Conan O’ Brien captures a certain dry humor in this Thursday morning clip from CNN, and that’s not easy for a man who is facing-down the President of the United States.

On his way to a surprise goodwill-trip to Haiti, a journey made in direct response to President Trump’s condemnation of the country as a “s***hole,” Conan hits the nail on the head. “Attitude,” says the 54-year-old icon, dismissing the debate over what exactly Trump said in the White House. “It’s the attitude behind it, which is to dismiss giant swaths of the globe we all live on.”
