During Game 3 of the NBA finals in New York City, President Trump attended but was caught on camera appearing to take a nap. This incident provided late night hosts ample material for their comedic routines.

Jimmy Kimmel humorously declared that Trump made history by being the first sitting president to shut down a major United States city to ‘take a nap in front of a sold-out crowd at the NBA finals.’ He nicknamed Trump ‘Dozes Malone’ and joked about the taxpayer money spent for Trump’s attendance, only for him ‘to go out like a light.’

Jimmy Fallon also joined the ribbing, noting that Knicks fans blamed Trump for the team’s loss and humorously added that Trump demanded the NBA ‘find’ extra points for the Knicks to prevent blame. Sir, you can’t sleep through the game. You’re the president, not Game 3 referee Marc Davis. — DESI LYDIC

The late night comments highlighted how the president’s appearance became intertwined with the entertainment and humor surrounding the event.
