Only the Indian fish got it right: Watch the talk shows the day after Trump in a disbelieving USA
Stephen Colbert wonders what to tell the kids.
On the American comedy airwaves, there’s shock and despair at Donald Trump’s victory. On the Late Show, Stephen Colbert simply cannot get over the result, and wonders, among other things, how Hillary Clinton could accept the outcome so quickly. What happened to the five stages of depression, he asks?
Castigating the pollsters, including the magic goat of Scotland who picked Clinton as the winner, Colbert points out that only an Indian fish got the prophecy right.
On his show, Conan O’ Brien said, ‘We’ve been here before.’ And added that Trump as president makes his job easier for the next four years.
If it’s Seth Meyers’ jokes you’re looking for, he was too busy pointing out how he had been wrong about Donald Trump every time. And so, hoping “the trajectory holds”, he said, “I hope Donald Trump is a ******* great President.”
Here’s Jimmy Kimmel asking Robert de Niro whether he’ll still punch him in the face.
