The folks at TDS realized that hysterical coverage of Mamdani from right-wing news outlets was going to be happening on the regular, so they wanted to be ready. And I'm sure the same team also made the supercut of ICE-agent bloopers on Wednesday night. Watching fascists eat it on Minnesota ice is so pleasurable, and that pleasure is compounded when it's edited well.

Rarely does a president yank a Nobel Prize off of someone's neck, Kimmel said. He's back in the Oval Office sucking on it like a pacifier right now. He didn't even win. While condemning Trump's acceptance of the prize, Kimmel argued the moment revealed a deeper political truth about how the president operates. Trump loves awards, he noted. Giving him an award, it's the only way to get him to do anything.

No, don't! Cooper said as Cohen started off. Watching the final moments of Mayor Adams' chaotic, horrible [term], Cohen slurred. Andy, Andy! We gotta cut you off, Novak said. Cohen pressed forward, saying sardonically it was great that the Adams got [his] pardons. He said Adams will now have plenty of time to party with democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani replacing him as NYC mayor on Wednesday.

Screenshot via Comedy Central A prescient writer for the irreverent Comedy Central show South Park correctly predicted that President Donald Trump would slap his name on the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, so he bought up Trump-Kennedy Center web domains to troll the president. Writer Toby Morton bought the trumpkennedycenter.org and trumpkennedycenter.com domains back in August and is now plotting how best to parody Trump's vanity, according to The Washington Post.

For Grandma: A tariff! Did they not want tariffs? That's what we got everyone. Sorry. For Uncle Greg: A TINY CAR!!! (We're making these now.) For Her: A photoshoot with Vanity Fair. Nothing says "glamour" like Vanity Fair. Usually. But sometimes the picture they take of you comes out looking like Dorian Gray's DMV photo-unflattering, but in a way that implies deep spiritual corruption. This gives a fun Russian-roulette aspect to the gift!

What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring the drug down to $13 right? If you're looking at it from $13 it's down seven times Lutnick attempted to explain in a rambling response.It's 700 percent higher [than] before, it's down 700 percent now, right? So $13 would have to go up 700 percent to get back to the old one, Lutnick continued. So it all depends on when you look at it. You could say it's down 87 percent or you could say it would have to go up 700 percent to be the same one. So it just depends on what you look at it, he repeated.

During his opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the host branded the scheme the Get Into America Express Card, mocking its explicit transactional logic and its break from decades of immigration rhetoric. This is a card that will allow wealthy foreigners to live here, Kimmel said. For a million bucks, you get legal visitor status. You get a pathway to citizenship and a presidential pardon for one major crime of your choosing.

We happy few. We unlucky few. In years to come when we are all still recovering from post-traumatic stress disorder, we will be able to say we were there. That we have seen things that cannot be unseen. The eight thousand of us who, through a mixture of curiosity and comedy, chose to watch Liz Truss commit a drive by on herself.

Netflix Sean Combs. Photograph: Paras Griffin/Getty Images Summed up in a sentence An utterly damning docuseries about the musician which has so rattled his lawyers they are demanding that Netflix remove it. What our reviewer said It does such a thorough job of laying out and backing up so many horrific allegations that his way back to stardom is surely blocked for ever.

Stephen Colbert has panned claims by President Donald Trump's physician that men in his age group benefit from MRI scans as scrutiny around the president's health intensifies, with the Late Show host prescribing his own medicine for the commander-in-chief: Retiring!

WHAT UP, SMARTY BUTT? It's time once again to put your brainy-brain to the test with this week's edition of POP QUIZ PDX -our weekly, local, sassy-ass trivia quiz. And this week we'll be testing your knowledge on last week's big events, including public aerobics, Trump's continuing humiliation at the hands of Portland, and everyone's fave subject... DRUGS! 🥳 But first! How did you do on our last quiz?

First published in 1982 but set in the year 2025 (ever heard of it?), Stephen King's " The Running Man " takes place in a then-future where the world's economy has collapsed, America has turned into a totalitarian hellhole, and the country's media apparatus has created a free spectacle that keeps people too furious with their fellow citizens to recognize the government as their common enemy. Bachman al-Gaib!

The official White House website has unveiled a page called "mysafespace: a place for dems", whose sole purpose is to make fun of Democrats and blame them for the ongoing shutdown. The page is meant to mimic a MySpace blog, with an "About me" section describing Congressional Democrats as folks who "love DEI, transgender for everyone, and handing out taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants."

Seth Meyers used his NBC show to push back against President Donald Trump on Monday night, after the president claimed on Truth Social that Meyers' comedy was PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!! Trump attacked the host on Saturday, insisting the comedian may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise, and complaining that Meyers' act is now 100% ANTI-TRUMP which he added was PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!

I have fond memories of my father reading the Western Star daily newspaper after supper, and I particularly enjoyed the coloured comic strips in the Saturday-morning edition, the sweet smell of newsprint and ink coming from the pages.

said he was disgusted by the lack of decency from the commander-in-chief and in particular, the clip he posted of himself flying a fighter jet and dropping feces on No Kings protestors, including left-wing influencer Harry Sisson. By the way, do we really have to treat people like that? You know, the meme that he had where he was flying with the crown and the, you know, spewing excrement all over the people down below Daniels said.

World-famous drag queen Trixie Mattel appeared on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show to read a book to kids, as drag queens do. And the book she read was one "written" by Donald Trump's "least favorite son," Eric Trump. Trixie held up a copy of Eric Trump's Under Siege and told the kids: "Hey listen, we have to pay respect because this ghost writer worked really hard on this."

Tina Fey's still got it. And by "it," we mean the SNL makeup department. This was uncanny. Fey stopped by Amy Poehler's ep of Saturday Night Live during the cold open to unveil another eerily accurate GOP political impression. This time, she was portraying DHS Director Kristi Noem. The sketch started with host Poehler playing an uncooperative Attorney General Pam Bondi appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
