#EndorseThis: What If 2016 Really Was A Horror Film?

If there is anything that we can all agree on, it’s that 2016 has been a terrible and traumatic year. It’s almost as though we’ve all been living in a real-life horror film.

From the first week when we lost David Bowie to this past week when we lost Princess Leia and Debbie Reynolds (and all of the notable deaths in between), this has been a real shit show. Top all of that with Britain’s break up with the European Union, Donald Trump’s catastrophic presidential victory, and you really have something special. It’s hard to ignore the parallels to the basic premise of pretty much every horror film.

What if 2016 had it’s own movie trailer? It would probably look something like this.

Late Night Roundup: ‘The Tonight Show’ — With Donald Trump

Late Night Roundup: ‘The Tonight Show’ — With Donald Trump

Donald Trump sat down for an absurdly softball interview with Jimmy Fallon, where the two conversed about how The Donald’s poll numbers just keep going up as he says more outrageous stuff about minority groups.

But Trump also offered this interesting thought, about the prospect of a general election campaign between himself and Hillary Clinton: “I think it’s gonna be one of the most interesting races. And they actually said — a poll came out that said if I win, and she wins, it’s going to be the largest voter turnout in the history of the country. And that’s a good thing — because people don’t vote that much in this country. So that would be an amazing thing, if that happens.”

Conan O’Brien paid tribute to David Bowie, with a clip reel of the rock legend’s appearances with him over the years. “He was just mind-blowingly talented. But in my experience, he was also an incredibly nice person,” Conan said. “He was fun — he was always funny.”

Larry Wilmore examined the bizarre circumstances of Sean Penn’s interview with the escaped drug lord “El Chapo” Guzman, who has now been arrested again in Mexico. But the weirdest part here is how Penn kept writing about his own, um, favorite part.

Trevor Noah looked at the latest headlines from racist, megalomaniacal regimes — starting with Maine Gov. Paul LePage. Then he moved on to some lighter topics, such as the re-release of Mein Kampf in Germany, and the latest goings-on with the North Korean nuclear program.

James Corden commented on the Powerball lottery fever: “The truth is, the odds of you winning are 290 million to 1. That means you’re about as likely to win the Powerball, as you are to ever the words ‘President Jeb Bush.'”

Rock legend David Bowie has passed away, it was announced this morning, just days after his 69th birthday, and following both an 18-month battle with cancer and the making of his final album, Blackstar.

As a musician, actor, and a living force of pop culture, Bowie changed the way millions of people experienced art, sexuality, humanity, and themselves.
