Well, well, could you take a look at that? A week after inciting a violent riot on Capitol Hill, Donald Trump made history by becoming the only president to be impeached twice. Congratulations, Donald, you really deserved this one. Late-night TV received that latest little crumb of Trump drama to dip as it moves from the Trump era to the Biden years, and it looks like change is in the air. NBC A little late with Lilly Singh returned this week for the first time since the start of the pandemic, with a brand new writer’s room and a revamped quarantine aesthetic. Let’s see which late-night clips stood out in Trump’s last full week as president.

Everyone loves (fake) gossip, and Stephen Colbert is no exception. This week, Last show aired a previously taped segment in which queer icon Aubrey Plaza spilled the proverbial tea on her former co-stars called “Tea at the Plaza,” of course. Plaza, armed with a cup of tea (loves seeing an actor use his own props), started telling stories to past stars like Amy Poehler, Zac Efron and Robert De Niro, happily spreading absurd and false rumors to their subject. Tea on Poehler? “She sleeps with a Justin Bieber doll between her legs every night,” Plaza said, adding “What a creep” for good measure. Plaza went on to note that Zac Efron has “the smallest teeth [she’s] never seen ”, which will fall out of his mouth and down your throat if you ever get the chance to film a kiss scene with him. And De Niro apparently likes to dress up as a postman and deliver mail even though he “isn’t qualified to do it.” The Plaza stop on the Last show reminded us that while Colbert has carved out a place for himself among the most aggressive late-night political hosts, he can still entertain himself outside of the political realm. Also, good for Miss Piggy to do some work on his cock if that’s what she wants. His body, his choice.

Back in the political arena, the final days of the Trump administration somehow end with both a bang and a whimper, as Republicans quietly attempt to distance themselves from their riot-inciting president, twice. dismissed. Full frontal just didn’t have it and devoted a two-part segment to said Republicans aptly called “It’s a little too late for Republicans to speak out against Trump.” Bee started the segment by rightly shouting Eugene Goodman, the black Capitol police officer who actually turned an angry crowd away from the Senate. Wow, an officer named “Goodman” saved the day? You just can’t make this stuff up! Bee then called out not only the insurgents, but also the 147 members of Congress who voted to overturn the election results. “They were happy to support Trump when he helped them cut taxes for the rich and fill the Supreme Court with those grown-ups with corn,” Bee joked. I believe the real Corn children would have had the common sense to have denounced Trump long before he incited a deadly riot – they’re scary, but they weren’t stupid.

After almost a year without an antenna, A bit late is back and maybe better than ever. The entire show has been completely redesigned in quarantine, with an all-new editorial team led by Chelsea Davidson. The studio audience has been replaced by “a Los Angeles-based house,” and the whole Singh vibe is now much more relevant to YouTuber than the late-night host, giving her origin as a YouTuber. to incredible success. As such, it makes sense that one of his first guests would be another YouTuber like Brie Larson. Larson walked through Singh’s hype house on Tuesday and after receiving some helpful tips on YouTube best practices from Singh (you need to tell your viewers to like and subscribe after every video!), Larson serenaded Singh with some musical interpretations from his grossest YouTube comments. It was fun, because anyone worth their salt knows that before she became an Oscar winning actress, Larson was an aspiring musician whose fake band was the best thing about. Scott Pilgrim vs the world. Things seem to be moving (pun intended on YouTube absolutely planned) in a positive direction for Miss Singh!

One of the things I miss the most in life before the panDemi Lovato is going to a party and meeting someone incredibly interesting that you will almost certainly never see again, or if you do, it will be totally random and completely unexpected and a pleasant surprise. On Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!I finally got a taste of that feeling when Kimmel returned with Frederick “Freddie the Stoner” Miller, a gracious young man who had been on the show a year before while waiting in line for the first clinic to open. Michigan cannabis. . Since he shared his plan to sit on the couch, smoke a bowl and watch the new Dracula on Netflix (he heard good things!) With Kimmel about a year ago, Freddie did a lot of things and, as fate intended, now works as a Weed Ambassador for Cannavista Wellness at Buchanan, Michigan. When asked how he ended up working in a cannabis store, Freddie said his 30 seconds of fame on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last year changed her life for the better. “I’ve been on your show man, and the next thing I know, I’m getting calls left and right at dispensaries,” Miller says. “I mean Jimmy, I was, like, unemployed living with my mom – God bless her,” Miller says before embarking on what can only be described as the perfect stoner laugh. Wow, dreams really do come true.

Everyone has the right to be called by whatever name they want or desire, and Ann (i) e Hathaway finally exercises this right. On Tuesday, the actress formerly known as Anne took a break Tonight’s show and revealed that she would prefer to be called Annie. “Can we talk about my name for a second?” she said before embarking on the saga of how Annie became Anne. Apparently when she was 14 she was in an advertisement (of course she booked), and on her SAG card she chose to use her real first name, Anne, instead of the nickname she goes by, Annie. . A rookie mistake. “Don’t hesitate to call me something other than Anne,” she said to Fallon. As someone with a confusing name experience – my first name is * gasp * Derek, but I’ve always gone by my middle name, Chris – I feel for Annie, but I have to say this change is a bit difficult for me . I saw Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement in a mall with my cousins ​​at OBX. I read about the time when Anne Hathaway sent a poached egg back to the kitchen not once, not twice, not three times, but four time and thought, Atta girl. I defended Anne Hathaway’s performance as Fantine (She Kills) in The (Underrated) Wretched movie to my best friend in college and we didn’t talk for about three weeks (we finally decided to agree not to agree). But now I have to say goodbye to all of this, and so do you. So goodbye to Anne Hathaway, and nice to meet Annie Hathaway. It’s like Donny Hathaway, but with an Ann (e).
