Stephen Colbert Says Political Violence Only Leads to More Political Violence

On their shows last night, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Seth Meyers each dedicated their opening segments to discussing President Donald Trump’s recent dinner in Washington D.C., as well as the ongoing speculation about the Jeffrey Epstein birthday book. Interestingly, both Kimmel and Fallon incorporated jokes related to this topic into their monologues, using images of Trump’s signed restaurant receipt that resembled drawings from the Epstein book. Colbert’s monologue also touched on similar themes, but a somber tone permeated his jokes due to the tragic events in his opening segment. Prior to airing his show last night, Kimmel posted a heartfelt message on his personal Instagram expressing sympathy for all the children, parents, and innocent victims of senseless gun violence.
