Welcome to Late Night Roundup, where we cover last night’s highlights, so you don’t have to. Let’s dive into the top moments from comedy shows.
Mitch McConnell’s Disappearance
Speculation surrounds the absence of Senator Mitch McConnell. The 84-year-old senator has been out of public view since he was hospitalized on June 14 due to health issues.
Ronny Chieng addressed this situation humorously during Wednesday’s ‘Daily Show’. He noted public discontent over the lack of explanation for McConnell’s three-week absence.
‘Apparently, people don’t like a majority senator disappearing with no explanation for three weeks.’ – Ronny Chieng
Chieng joked about McConnell’s age, saying he’s ‘half the age of America’ and may have been diagnosed with ‘being extremely 84’.
‘Look at him, he was probably diagnosed with, I don’t know, being extremely 84.’ – Ronny Chieng
He took a lighthearted jab at requests for a ‘proof of life’ video from McConnell by pointing out the difficulty elderly individuals face in shooting videos.
‘If he can shoot a video without his thumb covering the camera, we should make him king of America.’ – Ronny Chieng
Trump’s Cease-Fire
Tiffany Haddish mocked President Donald Trump’s repeated mentions of a cease-fire with Iran that hasn’t officially started.
‘Can you say something is over when it never really got started? That’s like me saying my relationship is over with Michael B. Jordan.’ – Tiffany Haddish
Chieng, too, humorously criticized Trump’s handling of the situation.
‘So yeah, the cease-fire might be over. But lucky for us, we’ve got a dealmaker-in-chief as our president. And when he’s in charge, it’s never over.’ – Ronny Chieng
The Hot Topics
Wednesday’s “Gutfeld” panel criticized Pepsi for a social media post considered insensitive regarding consent.
