President Donald Trump’s recent statement on Today Show host Matt Lauer’s firing from NBC drew the attention of late night hosts on Wednesday night, as Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel separately roasted the president over what they saw as an overemphasis on the fake news problem, rather on the sexual abuse allegations made against Lauer that led to his dismissal.
According to Variety, it was Trump’s comments about fake news on his tweet about Lauer that Stephen Colbert centered on in Wednesday night’s episode of The Late Show. But before he got to the actual reference to Lauer’s firing, Colbert poked fun at how Trump used the word “wow” to start off his tweet.
“Wait a minute! I’m still not used to a President typing in the words ‘Wow’. That’s like if the first draft of the Gettysburg Address was ‘Holy guacamole! This war sucks!’”
