Jimmy Fallon had to turn Monday into a comedy bitter and controversial confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh at the Supreme Court. Fallon was especially fond of a line of familiar laughter about Kavanaugh: he loves beer.

"Just after the confirmation vote, many Republicans began to applaud. Kavanaugh would have applauded for himself, but he already had two 40-ounce beers with tape on each hand. "- JIMMY FALLON

"While Kavanaugh was being sworn in, there were a lot of angry protesters outside. The situation worsened when Kavanaugh entered the balcony and threw pearls at the crowd. "- JIMMY FALLON

Fallon also referred to the personal calendars kept by Kavanaugh. (The judge showed one from 1982 during his confirmation hearing, while he defended himself from allegations of sexual assault.)

"On Saturday night, Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in the Supreme Court. He said it was a night he would never forget, because he wrote it on a strange calendar that he will keep for 30 years. "- JIMMY FALLON

"A Kentucky man who also calls himself Brett Kavanagh went viral this weekend for tweeting:" It's a terrible time to be named Brett Kavanagh. "Another name by Bill Cosby Weinstein was:" It could be worse! " JIMMY FALLON

Most late – night shows were cut Monday, some as part of a weeklong vacation and others in respect of Columbus Day. Jimmy Kimmel went on the air and described Columbus Day as a "federally imposed holiday and no one seems to be celebrating anymore".

Kimmel said the Columbus legacy was not as simple as the old American history books.

"Columbus did not really discover America. Columbus discovered America in the same way that we all discovered poke. "- JIMMY KIMMEL

But he felt cynical about the alternate name of a vacation that many people came to use instead: Aboriginal Peoples Day. Kimmel joked that holidays in the United States are not just commemorations – they are also about sales. It was not certain that Indigenous Peoples Day would pass the test of capitalism.

"Someone must come up with a more catchy name than Indigenous Peoples Day. It took me 14 minutes to spell it today. I understand, but this word is not going to sell mattresses, that's all. "- JIMMY KIMMEL
