So this is just how it\u2019s going to be from now on, huh? Late-night hosts make jokes, President Trump and\/or FCC chairman Brendan Carr call for late-night hosts to be fired, then late-night hosts make jokes about the calls for their firing. In the words of Me You and Everyone We Know<\/a>, \u201cback and forth forever.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump came for Seth Meyers first this week, with Carr retweeting it<\/a>. As Meyers pointed out on Monday\u2019s \u201cA Closer Look,\u201d<\/a> the last time Trump threw shade at Late Night was when Meyers talked about the wacky stuff Trump had said about trebuchets. And since Trump posted his latest screed after a Friday-night rerun, Meyers concluded the president was activated by the same dang episode. At least he\u2019s consistent.<\/p>\n On Wednesday night, Trump tried to get Jimmy Kimmel fired again, because it worked out so well the last time. During Thursday\u2019s monologue<\/a>, Kimmel noted that Trump\u2019s anti-ABC Truth Social post dropped right after the show finished airing on the East Coast, which means he gets mad at the show live. \u201cHi, Mr. President,\u201d Kimmel said to the camera. \u201cHow are you? Thanks for watching us on TV instead of on YouTube. We appreciate that. And I\u2019ll tell you, it\u2019s viewers like you who keep us on the air.\u201d We may be lowly YouTube viewers here, but we\u2019re still doing our part to bring you the best of late night every week \u2014 for as long as that\u2019s an option.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Kate Winslet may finally squash the British-versus-American food debate that seems ever festering on TikTok. On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she asked for insight into why there are so many pies at Thanksgiving. Kimmel explained that it\u2019s something your flakier (pastry pun) relatives can bring to the meal. They feel included, nothing is ruined if they bail, and you get, like, eight pies at dinner. Everybody wins. Winslet is such a pro at late night. She even makes praising King Charles relatable later in this segment. Her story about not wanting to flash her nips at the then\u2013Prince of Wales is choice. This is a woman at ease and having fun. And that makes us have fun watching.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n We all knew the \u201cBubba\u201d email<\/a> was going to be a big topic of conversation at the top of this week; the question was who was going to have the best\/most fellatio jokes in their Monday monologue. The Late Show\u2019s Stephen Colbert and The Daily Show\u2019s Jon Stewart<\/a> were neck and neck for much of their run times, but Colbert just squeezed out a win by also making horse-cock puns. Saying Trump allegedly went \u201cChurchill Downs\u201d on Bubba the Horse is what clinched it. Well done, sir.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n This stand-up set from comedian-actor Greta Titelman feels like great fodder for a show starring Greta Titelman as baby Greta Titelman. I want to see more of the fourth-grader scatting into the phone at her crush or fighting with her mom at the beach. The point of a late-night set for a comic is to get the public into your whole deal so that they come see you when you\u2019re on tour, and Titelman very adroitly lays her deal out in this tight five. You\u2019re going to know whether you\u2019d be into an additional 55 minutes by the end. And I\u2019m in.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n On a rare Sunday-night episode of The Tonight Show (which followed Sunday Night Football), Rosal\u00eda spoke to Jimmy Fallon about her banger of a breakup album, Lux<\/a>. Then she did the c- – – iest performance of \u201cLa Perla,\u201d complete with subtitles so all us stupid monolinguals know what a searing diss track it is. My favorite part were the two attendants who stood by Rosal\u00eda\u2019s Princess and the Pea bed whose only move of the night was to help her down for the final chorus. When a Tonight Show performance goes hard, it really, really goes<\/a> hard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n On Sunday\u2019s season finale of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver addressed the distressing budget cuts public media has suffered this year. And it ended with a call to action, directing folks to donate to the Public Media Bridge Fund<\/a>. Terrific. Last Week Tonight should always end its (usually incredibly distressing) shows with something people can do to stop whatever ghastly thing is the week\u2019s topic. But Oliver & Co. went a little further, utilizing the show\u2019s most powerful weapon: its Big Dumb Prop budget. Last Week Tonight\u00a0is auctioning off<\/a> some of the wack shit the show has made in service of comedy \u2014 things like LBJ\u2019s giant testicles, Oliver\u2019s cabbage wife, and a DVD of\u00a0Mr. Bean\u00a0signed by Joel McHale \u2014 to benefit the Public Media Bridge Fund too. That\u2019s not just making the world a better place but doing so in the dumbest way possible.<\/p>\n
