#EndorseThis: Laughing At The Horses' Asses In Trump's White House

The Late Show now features a series called "Tuning Out The News" – short animations that combine cartoon "news" characters and real live human beings, addressing the issues of our day. Or simply lampooning any convenient knuckleheads.

In this very brief but hilarious 'toon, the whimsical conceit is that the abject butt-kissing by Trump's servile staff might induce a horse to sing. If you've ever watched that kind of pathetic spectacle -- reproduced on Tuesday by the White House Domestic Policy Council -- this clip will look familiar. (Don't miss Brooke Rollins, who runs domestic policy, sucking up to "arguably the most successful businessman in our country's history.") And it will make you whinny with laughter.

#EndorseThis: Colbert’s Catchy Impeachment Jingle

Impeaching the president is a very solemn and historic matter,of course. But dark humor is never far below the surface when discussing DonaldTrump, and the impeachment announced by House Democrats on Tuesday morning isno exception – as Stephen Colbert reminds us.

The Late Show host’s annotation of the announcement is masterful (as is his mild trolling of the committee chairman who showed up late to this historic event). Colbert and his bandleader Jon Batiste even have a catchy holiday jingle to remind you what this scandal is all about.

#EndorseThis: Trump Booing At World Series Inspires The Late Show

Whether you watch baseball or not, by now you’ve probably seen video of fans at World Series Game Five lustily booing Donald Trump — who ventured out from the White House with Melania and a few of his Congressional stooges to Nationals Park on Sunday night. Seeing Trump’s expression change from smug smile to stony grimace as he hears them booing and chanting “Lock Him Up” will never get old.

The Late Show deploys that instant classic video in a cold open that imagines fans singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame— with freshened lyrics relevant to the moment. It’s short but oh so sweet.

Click and chortle — and sing along.
