VIDEO Funniest Jokes From Late Night TV: Tom Brady, George Santos Top Targets
Late-night talk shows returned from the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday with a long list of hot topics to tackle, ranging from President Joe Biden's classified documents scandal and Rep. George Santos', R-N.Y., lies to NFL star Tom Brady's possible retirement and Prince Harry's frozen "royal todger."
"The Late Late Show with James Corden" took on the latter topic that sparked a three-minute, bleep-filled discussion about the male anatomy, including the U.K.'s use of the term "todger" and Americans' less tasteful terminology.
"The White House announced that President Biden will visit California later this week to tour areas devastated by extreme whether," Corden said. "While he's there he is also going to check in on Prince Harry's frostbitten penis."
"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" uncovered some past radio and podcast interviews of Santos in action, which included comments about his made-up college volleyball glory days and cheap shots at the next generation for not following his example.
"Yeah, you lazy youths, how many accomplishments did you make up today? One? Two? ... George Santos tells 10 lies before breakfast," Colbert joked. "You think it's easy kiting checks and remembering which sports you pretended to play and which colleges you pretended to attend?
"No, but you have to dig down like George did so you can make your parents proud -- his sweet, sweet parents, Rosa Parks and the 'Fiddler on the Roof' -- both of whom were strangled by Hitler on the shores of Iwo Jima."
"Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "Late Night Starring Jimmy Fallon" took potentially parting shots at Brady, who could be riding off into retirement at the age of 45 with seven Super Bowl rings to his credit.
"I don't know what else Brady wants to accomplish though," Fallon said. "At this point, it's kind of like Jeff Bezos playing Mega Millions -- you already have all the money."
Kimmel was more sympathetic to the quarterback's cause after keeping himself in youthful playing shape with a strict diet and workout.
"Brady was reportedly so upset after the game he ate a carb -- just one, but those things can kill you," he quipped.
Last but not least, "Late Night with Seth Meyers" called out two states that delivered a back-handed slap to MLK Day celebrations.
"Alabama and Mississippi observed yesterday a state holiday that honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Confederate General Robert E. Lee," Meyers said. "I'm sorry, did I say 'and' because I definitely meant 'or.'"
