Jimmy Kimmel
On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host started by mentioning the scoop from Maggie Haberman’s upcoming book that Donald Trump allegedly tried to destroy state documents by tearing them up and flushing them down the toilet.
Despite Haberman having two lengthy interviews with Trump, he claims her book is “mostly fictitious” and that the toilet story is not accurate. “This is a conversation you have with your three-year-old … not the former president,” Kimmel joked.
He continued: “It’s toilet Watergate is what it is.”
Haberman has also revealed that Trump had maintained a friendship with the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un since his presidency. “He held Kim Jong-un’s hand longer than Melania’s,” Kimmel said while showing pictures of the pair.
He then joked: “Weird to think that the relationship between Kim and Trump could last longer than Kim and Kanye.”
Kimmel also wondered how the right would have taken that news if it was Obama still staying friends with him. “I’m sure Fox would be super cool with that,” he said.
This week it was also announced that Melania Trump would have a ‘“special arrangement” for the controversial app Parler, “social media for those who are somehow too awful for Twitter”.
Kimmel joked: “The only parlour Melania cares about has the word beauty in front of it.”
This week reports also emerged that the Academy would not be asking for proof of vaccination for this year’s Oscars ceremony. “Maybe they have some extra spots in the ‘in memoriam’ to fill,” he wondered.
He joked that perhaps this year’s hosts would be “Rob [Schneider] and Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend”.
The reports also suggested that a major reason was that some of this year’s nominees and possibly some of last year’s winners are not vaccinated. “So now it’s up to all of us to wildly speculate,” he said. “Let the witch-hunt begin.”
He also wondered how Fox News would respond. “Is Hollywood a bunch of hypocrites or are the stars just like us?” he joked.

On The Daily Show, Trevor Noah also spoke about the allegations made against Trump and his destruction of documents via his toilet. If true then it would be classed as yet another crime alleged against the disgraced former president and is under investigation.
“At this point I’m wondering if there are any laws that Trump hasn’t broken?” he said. “If there was a Guinness Book of World Records for crime, he’d probably steal the book.”
Noah also joked: “In every scandal involving Trump and documents, none of them involve him reading them.”
Like Kimmel, Noah reminded viewers of Trump’s obsession with complaining about how poor toilet flushing now is in America with a montage. “It also does explain why Trump was always complaining about toilets,” he said.
