Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Donald Trump during his Thursday monologue, focusing on a White House women's history month event where Melania Trump introduced her husband with a notably self-referential speech. Kimmel remarked on how couples often start to sound alike, noting that Melania had 'an awful lot of nice things to say about herself' while introducing the president.
Kimmel highlighted Melania's claim that 'in solitude, my creative mind dances,' quipping that she could be given any words to read and would just recite them. He also questioned the 'creative direction' of her documentary, saying nothing happened in it. The host then turned to the moment Olympic bobsled medallist Kaillie Humphries presented Trump with an Order of Ikkos medal, calling it 'yet another award he didn't win' and criticising the administration's lack of shame.
On Late Night, Seth Meyers tackled the confusing messaging from MAGA figures regarding the Iran conflict, with Republicans describing it as both a 'short excursion' and a 'longer war'. Meyers mocked the contradictions, saying high oil prices were simultaneously a sacrifice and a good thing, and that the war was both complete and just beginning. He likened the conflicting statements to a doctor's prognosis after taking knockoff Viagra.
Stephen Colbert also addressed the administration's incoherent Iran messaging on the Late Show, playing footage of Trump saying 'I guess you could say both' when asked if the war was at its start or end. Colbert joked that Trump had suddenly embraced Eastern philosophy. Meanwhile, Colbert reacted to Trump mispronouncing 'Kentucky' at a rally, asking how he could not know the name when it appears on every chicken bucket.
