Kimmel, Colbert, Meyers on Trump inauguration: 'Ominous and strange'

"President McCribb has only a limited amount of time to return: only four years," Jimmy Kimmel said one day after inauguration Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday night show.

"Today at noon Eastern time, our long national nightmare officially begins at another time, for a second time," Kimmel continued. “Donald Trump became the first convicted felon to be sworn in as President of the United States today. He’s celebrating by selling his inaugural bible, and he launched a new meme coin over the weekend that some say is worth $41 billion — —He launched his own cryptocurrency just days before he became president. I hope we all understand how crazy this is; President of the United States, following in the footsteps of Hawk Tua Girl.”

Responding to Trump's Inauguration Day events, the ABC late-night host began his monologue by teasing that the ceremony was moved indoors due to the cold ("It'll be harder for Melania to escape") before launching into the second One Lady Melania Trump's Outfits ("Got Al Capone" and "We Got Carmen Sandiego"), Donald and Melania "Almost" Kissed ("I Guess He Didn't Want to") mess up his makeup").

Kimmel pointed out that unlike Trump's first inauguration, the outgoing Biden administration respected tradition in the peaceful transfer of power to incoming President Trump. However, "Kamala Harris invited J.D. Vance to the Vice President's residence at the Naval Observatory for a solemn ceremony on the Millard Fillmore pouf," he told Vance.

The late-night host took a look back at who was in attendance - from Trump's family to former Vice President Mike Pence, as well as the much-anticipated big crowd who sat in the second row in front of members of Trump's Cabinet during the first speech Tech billionaire.

Many of the invited CEOs donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund; those in attendance included Tesla CEO Elon Musk (appointed to lead the newly created Department of Government Effectiveness), Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Google’s Sundar Pichai and OpenAI’s Sam Altman.

Kimmel said there was a "very good explanation" for why they were present: "Trump is selling the country to the highest bidder. Look at these powerful people who don't need to make another dollar in their lives, It's really amazing that you demean yourself to curry favor with this ridiculous person, but that's why they're billionaires, I guess."

He then played a clip of Trump's speech vowing to plant a flag on Mars, along with Musk's emphatic thumbs-up reaction: "Elon needs to change his pants...another rocket just exploded on launch "Kimmel joked that Musk is a "real-life comic book villain," adding, "One day, Elon Musk could be the biggest fool on both planets."

As Trump planned to travel to Los Angeles on Friday to survey the damage from wildfires, Kimmel played a clip of Trump talking about California's fire response in a speech. Trump said there was "no defense" in fighting the fires, and some tech CEOs in attendance lost their homes. (“It’s funny,” Trump said.) In response, Kimmel, who shared his first-hand view of the fire disaster, said of Trump, “He always knows what to say. By the way. By the way, the rich and powerful people in that room don’t have homes anymore. They all have homes. Jeff Bezos doesn’t live in his mother-in-law’s house now.”

Kimmel continued, slamming Trump's second unscripted speech to a packed crowd in the Capitol's Emancipation Hall and Carrie Underwood's performance of "America the Beautiful" due to technical issues. He also noted that on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the crowds were "walls full of white people."

"It happened," Stephen Colbert announced Monday night Late Night Show. “Donald Trump is re-elected president.”

Based on the negative reaction from the crowd, the CBS late night host admitted that bad feelings abounded. "If you don't like tonight's jokes, it's not our fault—the jokes were written. Where do you start? First, let's go. What do you make of today? How did we get here?"

Today, he concluded, "the memory kicks in," as he began mocking Trump for moving his inauguration indoors ("You bastard!") and pointed to the viral response to Melania Trump's outfit online comparison ("Now we know why the brim is like this"). Too big," he said of her hat and Trump's blowing kiss).

Colbert also took issue with Trump's surprising comments about the Los Angeles wildfires - "This is a interesting After Trump pledged to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico and restore the name of Mount McKinley, he offered some Trump impressions that suggested the president could rename other things.

"Today is a page-turner for all Americans," Colbert then cheered. "Whether you support Trump or not, no matter how much we think we know what's going to happen in the next four years, we don't know. We have to look at the president in a new light and unlearn all the things he did in his first term, Looking to the future...right, Mr. President?”

But he changed his mind when he replayed Trump’s inauguration video and falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged: “Fuck! He told us to inject bleach, I still believe there’s a pee tape, Russia, if you’re in Listen, let the golden age begin!"

Colbert said he needed a second monologue to cover more of Trump's latest moves, including naming Jon Voight, Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone as Hollywood "special ambassadors" (“This doesn’t feel good to other aging Hollywood right-wing actors”) Snoop Dogg on Crypto Ball ahead of Trump’s inauguration and launch of personal meme coin performed.

Meyers went on to play clips of Trump's speech. "In one speech, he successfully painted a chilling vision of a dictatorship that would invoke 18th-century laws to carry out mass deportations, accelerate climate change and criminalize trans people, while also claiming he would Change the name of the Gulf. Mexico to the Gulf of America - he can't do that! The rest of the world will still call it the Gulf of Mexico, and they have maps too!"

He said he was personally troubled by Trump's announcement to sign an executive order to "immediately end all government censorship and restore free speech in the United States... The vast power of the state will no longer be weaponized to persecute political opponents." resonance. Meyers wiped his brow: "Phew! I admit, I was worried about this show for a moment! But now, I know you are a man of your word, so go all out!"
