Late-night hosts took aim at Donald Trump’s anger at Fox News as well as the president’s refusal to come down hard on big corporations.

Stephen Colbert

On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert joked that while Trump “waits for someone to convert the Mueller report into a finger puppet show” he was spending his time watching Fox News.

The president tweeted his anger over a town hall featuring Bernie Sanders appearing on his favourite network especially given how well the Democratic candidate seemed to go down. Trump also used the word “we” to describe Fox News.

“On behalf of the American people, let me remind you that you don’t work for Fox News, they work for you,” Colbert joked.

Trump also tweeted that he predicts Sanders being up against Biden for his Democratic competition next year. He ended the tweet by sinisterly writing “May God Rest Their Soul!”

“Is he going to campaign them to death?” Colbert asked. “We’ll let you get away with lock her up but I draw the line at dig the grave.”

Seth Meyers

On Late Night with Seth Meyers, the host joked that Trump “sounds like Joe Pesci after five shots of Novocaine” and had spent his campaign “cultivating the myth that he is a hero to the working class”.

It was an intro to a segment about the Democrats taking on corporate profits and CEO pay. Meyers spoke about Elizabeth Warren’s plan to come down harder on big corporations not paying adequate taxes, especially Amazon.

“She should publish her plan on Amazon just so we can see the recommendations below it,” he quipped. “You might also like Jailing Wall Street Bankers or Bernie Sanders Yelling at a Billionaire.”

Meters also spoke about Bernie’s appearance on Fox News and how his comments about taxing the rich led to applause. “Talking like that and getting cheered on Fox News is like getting cheered for praising the Yankees in Boston,” he said.

He continued: “Bernie on Fox News felt like one of those crossover episodes where a character from one show goes on another one.”

Jimmy Kimmel

On Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host spoke about the college admissions scandal and the fact that Felicity Huffman might end up behind bars. “Maybe when she’s in prison she could do some good,” he speculated. “Maybe she could help some of her fellow inmates cheat on their GEDs.”

He continued: “I say put the parents in jail until the kid gets a perfect score on the SAT.”
