“I didn’t think it was possible,” Stephen Colbert said during his Late Show monologue tonight, “but President Donald Trump can still shock me. It’s kinda nice, you know? After all these years he can still keep the relationship fresh.” Whether Colbert clobbering Trump like Moe on Curly is “fresh” is in the ear of the…

John Oliver came in hot on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight recapping Donald Trump’s “busy” week which included the largest single-state ICE raid, retweeting conspiracy theories about the death of Jeffrey Epstein and his visit to the sites of last week’s mass shootings where there was footage of him at an El Paso bragging…

President Donald Trump’s executive apparently was interrupted by Real Time today, and POTUS clapped back at its “wacko” host’s “many false statements.” Bill Maher pulled no punches on myriad topics during his live HBO show Friday night — gun violence, a possible looming recession, the national mood and so on — but the…

As usual during his Late Show monologue, Stephen Colbert tonight dug into the day's most talked-about news stories. Read: whatever the hell Donald Trump said and did.

Before John Oliver began his regularly scheduled “dumb show” about doghouse foreclosures and turnip subsidies on Last Week Tonight, he took some time to address the shootings that have occurred in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Tex. “When it comes to gun control, I know it can feel like it everything has been said before,&#8221…
