Late Night Roundup: The Donald Trump Children’s Book

Late Night Roundup: The Donald Trump Children’s Book

Jimmy Kimmel sat down with Donald Trump himself, and decided to surprise The Donald with a special new children’s book: “Winners Aren’t Losers.”

As one example: “This lobster’s a loser. Throw him in the pot! I like a lobster who doesn’t get caught.” Donald Trump apparently enjoyed this reference to the time he insulted John McCain for having been a prisoner of war.

The Daily Show‘s Desi Lydic did a fact-check on the Republican debate. And well, it wasn’t pretty.

Larry Wilmore examined Ben Carson’s performance at the debate, and what looked like a lot of attempts to stall on talking about foreign policy: “Carson’s acting like a kid who has to do a book report, for a book he didn’t read.”

Seth Meyers reviewed the GOP debate, and how all the hype going into it — that Donald Trump would face off against Ted Cruz — simply didn’t come to pass. In fact, almost none of the other candidates even tried to take The Donald on — except for his “favorite punching bag” Jeb Bush.

Stephen Colbert highlighted Donald Trump’s “astonishingly excellent” and “extraordinary” doctor’s letter: “So while Trump is disease-free, evidently talking like him is highly contagious.”

Conan O’Brien told this zinger: “At a Donald Trump rally the other night, a supporter shouted out the Nazi salute, ‘Sieg heil.’ Trump immediately responded, ‘There is no place for that here — save it for my inauguration.'”

Late Night Roundup: ‘Undecided 2016’

Stephen Colbert highlighted the merchandise being sold by the presidential campaigns, and presented his own idea for an alternative branded merchandise, “Undecided 2016.” He then realized that maybe should really set this up as an actual store!

Larry Wilmore hung out with astronaut Buzz Aldrin — in outer space!

Seth Meyers addressed Donald Trump’s call for people (especially Jeb Bush) to only speak English, in a segment called Solamente Inglés: “Ah, the English-only debate comes back around every four years — like some kind of racist leap year.”

And James Corden presented an epic, movie-style look at Kim Davis — complete with a fake Morgan Freeman voice.

Late Night Roundup: The Loose Cannon Cop Meets Reality

On The Nightly Show, Larry Wilmore looked at the new police reforms in Cleveland to stop brutality and build community trust — and the negative impact they will have on the kind of loose cannon cop that Americans love to watch in the movies.

Jon Stewart highlighted the indictments of FIFA — and the fact that it somehow took 24 years to finally nail down the notoriously corrupt international soccer federation.

Jon Stewart pivoted off of Bill O’Reilly’s latest problems, to realize what the real scandal is with lies about war: The lies that get us into the wars to begin with.

Jimmy Fallon looked at both the pros and cons of all this cold weather.

David Letterman and Matthew Broderick reminisced about how they first learned where babies are made — and whom they actually learned it from.

And on a much more serious note, Larry Wilmore looked at the recent shooting of three Muslims in North Carolina, and the problems of Islamophobia, racial prejudice, and vigilantism.
