Colbert, Kimmel, and Hayes on McCarthy's ouster as Speaker

Change of plans today. Instead of featuring Seth Meyers's return, I'm covering the ouster of Kevin "Pickled Tongue" McCarthy as Speaker of the House through comedy. I begin with Stephen Colbert's monologue, McCarthy Removed As House Speaker | Trump Slams “Talentless, Low Rated CREEPS” of Late Night.

Matt Gaetz was successful in his bid to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House, and former president Trump posted a glowing review after watching The Late Show last night.

Oh, darn, McCarthy stopped being Speaker before my nickname for him caught on — not that I was trying very hard, as the last time I mentioned him was on June 1st, when I wrote "Play up the victory while you can, Pickled Tongue. This isn't the great win you think it is." Neither was avoiding a government shutdown, although it should have been.

Jimmy Kimmel reversed the topics in Trump Attacks “CREEPS of Late Night Television” & McCarthy Ousted as Speaker of the House.

It’s our second day back to work after 150 days on strike and our #1 fan Donald Trump took to the internet at 1:05am to voice his displeasure, Eric Trump spent his night desperately trying to win Daddy’s love on Hannity, today was day two of Donald’s big money fraud trial in New York, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy was voted out in an effort led by Florida Congressvomit Matt Gaetz, Jimmy shares one of the great police pursuits of all-time on our local ABC7 news, NBA star Jimmy Butler debuted a new hairdo, and Forbes just released their annual list of the wealthiest Americans so we asked kids to give us their thoughts on this thing we call “money.”

Colbert and Kimmel and their writers all thought the former guy's rant made for a great promotion. Chalk that up to the talk show hosts thinking TFG is the right enemy.


I conclude with a guest on Seth Meyers' show, Chris Hayes Dissects Matt Gaetz's Resolution to Remove Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker.

Chris Hayes talks about Trump appearing in court for his civil fraud trial, the GOP's anger for Matt Gaetz over his resolution to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House and why there is no challenger to Donald Trump.

Gaetz punished McCarthy for doing the right thing, averting a government shutdown. I don't like people who do that. I have a feeling a lot of other people don't, either.

I still plan on sharing Seth Meyers' first closer look after returning from the writers strike, followed by some of the other guests that were on this week. Stay tuned.
