CNN did a segment on Freddy, the German soccer tourist, and sports analyst Christine Brennan claimed "I saw some conversation, Wolf and Pamela, about how the rest of the world is looking at the United States and feeling that we are—it's a foreboding image and that we are inhospitable...But how wonderful again, that sports can bring people here and show people that the United States and you know, the South is welcoming a German tourist in a way we would never have anticipated" Who is "we"?

David Letterman tells Stephen Colbert, "I will say, and I have every right to be pissed off so I will be pissed off a little bit—because this theater, you folks wouldn’t be in this theater if it weren't for me and Stephen wouldn't be here if it weren't for me and we rebuilt this theater and then Stephen came and I look at this—it's like the Bellagio, but listen, what is wrong here?" and then says "As we all understand you can take a man's show but you can't take a man's voice, so that's the good news."

Jimmy Kimmel claims "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it" and "This is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody he [Trump] called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a gold fish, okay."

The New York Times platformed Hasan Piker on their "The Opinions" podcast to promote theft as a form of protest. The Mao fan said, "Yeah, I’m pro-piracy all the way, like, across the board. Would you pirate a car? Yes. You know, if you could." He also says he would steal from the Louvre if he could, "I think it’s cool. We’ve got to get back to cool crimes like that: bank robberies, right? Stealing priceless artifacts, things of that nature. I feel like that’s way cooler than the 7,000th new cryptocurrency scheme that people are engaging in." (1/2)

David Brooks reacts to the upcoming UFC fight at the White House, "I first thought of, like, who are the artists John F. Kennedy brought to the White House? It was like W.H. Auden, Robert Frost, Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein. And now we have got cage fighting. Don't anybody say America's in cultural decline." Jonathan Capehart adds "talk about degrading the culture. This is degrading the White House, degrading the people's house. And it's just unconscionable that this has happened."

The Daily Show has its Hasan Piker moment as it promotes a new film by self-described communist Boots Riley about shoplifting that Jordan Klepper describes as "'Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure' if it were directed by Karl Marx with a bunch of Molly in the background."

Seth Meyers (with the help of a Jen Psaki clip) joins Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert in not knowing about military surf and turf meals, "They spent $15 million on steak in one month. Who are you? Sterling Cooper Draper and Pryce? If you're gonna eat that much steak, you better have come up with a new campaign for lucky strike. No wonder Hegseth always looks miserable. He's 24/7 meat constipated. That's the face of a man war fighting with his colon." (1/2)

Jimmy Kimmel tried to clean up his comments about Markwayne Mullin being a former plumber, but he tried to have it both ways. First he doubled down ignoring Mullin's management experience with his plumbing company "[Trump's] apple polishers are all in a tizzy because I made light of the fact that his new head of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, before he was a senator, was a plumber. And now he's the head of Homeland Security. Which is not necessarily the kind of resume you might hope for, for the person in charge of protecting us from terrorism" Later, he insists it has nothing to do with plumbers and is just about his ideas, "Let me make this very clear. I'm not upset that the head of Homeland Security used to be a plumber. I'm upset that he isn't still a plumber, okay?" Then why even mention the plumber aspect?

Former ESPN talking head Pablo Torre says of the U.S. hockey women winning gold, "maybe there's the capacity for us to celebrate American dominance in a way that feels genuine as opposed to, you know, a series of lies to prop up a certain administration." Joe Scarborough adds, "I will say how hilarious that the sort of MAGA, online MAGA World were celebrating Alysa Liu's gold medal without a hint of any irony. Celebrating the immigrant" as Eugene Robinson agrees, "Oops. Yes, they you know, they're celebrating this. You know, “we're supposed to hate this, but we can't hate it because USA, USA.”

PBS's new Frontline documentary on Trump and Saudi Arabia tries to pass off blaming the Jared Kushner and the Abraham Accords for October 7 as a conservative opinion by having Curt Mills say "I don't think the Abraham Accords happen without Jared Kushner. But if there was any leading intellectual critique of them, it was that they abandoned Palestine. They abandoned the Palestinian people." Martin Smith then tells a disturbed Victoria Coates, "Curt Mills of American Conservative laid the events of October 7 at the feet of Jared Kushner."

It was the best of Bill Maher and it was the worst of Bill Maher. First, the worst, on Graham Platner "I mean this is a new kind of guy and it is not just in the Democrats, people who, like—if you look at their history, you can find things that make them look very conservative. Like a Nazi tattoo. What I would—in the past—associate with conservatives. And then there's things like that he has also flirted with communism and now he has a sex scandal. Which in the past, has just been something that absolutely made somebody toxic in the Democratic Party, unlike in the Republican Party, where they don't care at all." Sen. Chris Murphy tries to say "this will be a complicated race. He is imperfect. He has made a lot of mistakes, he has been pretty clear about it from the outset. He’s built a pretty big movement in Maine because people like his ideas. On the other side, you got Susan Collins who just last night, cast one of the deciding votes to give $70 billion to Trump's secret police. " Susan Rice also had a bizarre take "I remember when a tan suit was a scandal." (1/2)

MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart had a rough night on PBS last night. First, he didn't appreciate David Brooks pointing out progressives are more likely to support violence than conservatives, "I'm not going to just let the comment that, you know, progressives, you know, more than folks on the far-right are, you know, think that violence is justified." He also portrayed the shooting as just another incident of common gun violence, "And, to me, the bigger issue here is gun violence, that why was I not surprised that this had happened? And I have been to that dinner at least a dozen times since 2000. And so, yes, there's an issue of, you know, people feeling that political violence is the way to go and that we are in a highly charged atmosphere. But what's been, sort of, a specter over all of us for even longer is the scourge of gun violence." (1/2)

Jimmy Kimmel is still freaking out that Spencer Pratt may advance to the general election to be mayor of Los Angeles, "Right now the polling shows that he's in a very tight race with Karen Bass and Nithya Raman. How that's possible, no idea. I get why people are mad but has anyone ever made a good decision when they're mad?... all getting mad gets you is duct taped to an airplane seat...The Accidentes billboard guy. The dog next to the lady on the insurance billboard. Literally anyone from the cast The Hills would be a better mayor than Spencer Pratt. This is a ridiculous choice for mayor of Los Angeles."

Jon Stewart knows who to blame for the government shutdown, "Who came up with this fucking fakakta, overly complex bureaucratic web of nonsense that it takes to get anything done, and I think it's very difficult when one political party that represents 75 million voters has zero say, authority, heft, and in a functioning political environment that isn't a zero-sum game, there would have been conversations up until now that took some consideration." Uh, Democrats having a say is why the government is shutdown right now. Still, Stewart continues, "Fuck you, James Madison."

Since there is no comedian at Saturday's White House Correspondents Dinner, Jimmy Kimmel decided to do the routine himself and concluded with what appeared to be a Brendan Carr-Lindsey Graham rape joke, "Brendan Carr is giving me the light. Brendan Carr is the head of the FCC. Back in September he tried to get my affiliates to throw me off the air. He said, “we can do this the easy way or the hard way.” Same thing he said to Lindsey Graham ten minutes ago in the all gender restroom."

Jon Meacham laments to Stephen Colbert that "We are at risk of being a generation that loses the ethos that sent men to Omaha Beach, that sent people into Gettysburg, who sent people to Selma, Alabama, to broaden the definition and understanding of what the country can be. And it's not easy. But it's also vitally -- was never supposed to be about the whims and the ego of a single person."

The New Yorker's Elizabeth Kolbert tells Jon Stewart that "But we have gone—chosen to go in the opposite direction [on climate]. With all the evidence mounting, mounting evidence of the risks that that entails, and once again, that is a fascinating thing to do but not exactly what you would recommend." After Stewart quips about turning Greenland into Manhattan, Kolbert has another one of those dire environmentalist predictions, "That is absolutely true. Keep it up, but here is 20 feet of sea level rising. So Manhattan will not be here."
