The biggest shake-up in late night this week was sartorial. Guillermo got a makeover from Colman Domingo on Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a> He looked fly as hell with a snappy new hat. Presumably, he\u2019ll be back to his normal uniform when the next guest host slots in next week, but hopefully they\u2019ll bring back the Domingo \u2019fit for special occasions \u2014\u00a0like whenever they figure out what\u2019s going on with the lettuce. That would be a day to celebrate.<\/p>\n Yes, it\u2019s still poop-jokeapalooza on late night since the cyclospora outbreak shows few signs of stopping. The Daily Show had perhaps the most egregious diarrhea joke this week, adding farts and sharts to one of RFK Jr.\u2019s TikToks. \u201cAnd that is the trenchant satire you\u2019ve come to expect from 30 years of The Daily Show,\u201d host Desi Lydic said at its conclusion<\/a>. Yes, TDS turned 30 this week, and they made a clip package<\/a> designed to make one feel ancient. Remember Craig Kilborn? But that wasn\u2019t the only late-night history revisited this week, as you\u2019ll see below.<\/p>\n The Tonight Show had fun with sound effects this week during a sketch on corruption and greed in the White House. It\u2019s been interesting seeing how Fallon et al. balance the show\u2019s previous apoliticism with the current moment, when saying nothing is basically the same thing as agreeing with totalitarianism. This took an upsetting story about Trump trying to get paid to tweak the stock market with Truth Social and turned it into a chance to go boi-oi-oing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Conversely, Jon Stewart has always balanced the wonky with the wacky. Stewart interviewed Ben Wikler about his book documenting the success Wisconsin Dems have had retaking their state from gerrymandering and court-stuffing. Stewart did three things incredibly well: He let Wikler get his spiel out to convince people to buy the book, he pushed back when things got too centrist, and he gestured wildly like Kermit the Frog. It was a read of Wikler, who was gesticulating like a mother-effer. \u201cI\u2019m going to move my hands as much as you,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cLet\u2019s do this!\u201d replied Wikler. \u201cI\u2019ve got got long arms, man.\u201d Just when things seemed too contentious and\/or boring to a late-night viewer, Stewart knew when to jingle the keys in our face.<\/p>\n Arsenio Hall was Colman Domingo\u2019s guest on Wednesday night, but he made the room feel like it was his own. Hall told story after story about his long career, and each one killed. What\u2019s more, he\u2019s got a great old, near-death Richard Pryor impression in his back pocket whenever he needs it. Fans of Pryor in Lost Highway (me) lost their mind.<\/p>\n On WWHL, Octavia Spencer and Heather Dubrow played \u201cMa-ment of Truth,\u201d reminding all of us that we have yet to see Ma 2 grace our screens. More Ma! Anyway, the game was simple: The announcer would make ludicrous statements about Spencer, and Dubrow had to guess whether or not they were true. Spoiler: A lot of the goofier ones were. Double spoiler: Octavia Spencer\u2019s favorite ranch dressing is served at SoCal burger chain Islands.<\/p>\n What a bravura performance from Jo Firestone on Late Night With Seth Meyers this week. She was so funny, so pregnant, so flustered by every question despite the fact she was almost certainly prepped on what was to be discussed. And she gets her licks in, too. When trying to justify how much Love Island she has watched, she tried to quote a poet\u00a0\u2014 the one who said something about \u201cone precious life.\u201d Seth Meyers becomes the flustered one, looking for the answer on his cards. \u201cIt\u2019s not there,\u201d she says. The poet was Mary Oliver, btw. And Firestone can and should let the soft animal of her body love what it loves (Love Island).<\/p>\n Sign up for the Vulture Daily<\/p>\n An entertainment newsletter for the pop-culture obsessed.<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
