A Finger Up Maya Rudolph's Nose Won Late Night This Week
"First and foremost: What a shame that George Santos got his sentence commuted by President Trump on a week Jimmy Kimmel Live! was dark. Nelson Franklin's was my favorite Santos impression from the last time that guy was in the news. Jon Lovitz returned to The Tonight Show, however, which was nice to see. But whither Harvey Guillén? Will Franklin stop by Kimmel next week? No need to let this diva retire to the Poconos quietly. And, Jimmy, he's back on Cameo."
"The other place late-night TV intersected with the rest of the internet was the Tonight Show TikTok of Jimmy Fallon and Malala Yousafzai doing the "What's Up/Bees in the Trap" trend. I saw one person say it was proof 30 Rock and The Other Two were documentaries. On the one hand, "Jimmy Fallon and Malala Yousafzai perform Nicki Minaj for TikTok""
George Santos received a commutation from President Trump during a week when Jimmy Kimmel Live! was dark, prompting references to impressions and returning guests such as Nelson Franklin and Jon Lovitz. Questions linger about Harvey Guillén and whether Franklin will appear on Kimmel again; Franklin has returned to Cameo, and the courts allowed renewed public mocking. A Tonight Show TikTok featuring Jimmy Fallon and Malala Yousafzai performing a Nicki Minaj trend provoked surreal reactions that framed late night as a space for strange celebrity pairings and dreamlike entertainment. Stephen Colbert used large poop-emoji signage to mark satire and mock Republican hypocrisy. Allison Janney and Keri Russell repurposed their chemistry to reenact a scene.
