Transcript
00:00It was an absolutely beautiful day here in New York.
00:0270 degrees and sunny with a chance of jail.
00:04Late night hosts like Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and Jon Stewart reacted to the news of Donald Trump's arraignment and arrest.
00:12Trump was indicted by a New York grand jury for his alleged role in a scandal stemming from hush money payments
00:17made to Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
00:22On The Daily Show, guest host Roy Wood Jr. focused on the absurdity of the media coverage
00:27surrounding the former president's journey from Mar-a-Lago to a Manhattan court for his arraignment.
00:32Because when today began, we were preparing for the craziest day in New York
00:37since the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man came to town and busted a nut on the whole city.
00:44Wood highlighted how Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene had compared Trump to Nelson Mandela and Jesus
00:50as other figures who had been subject to political arrest.
00:53Wood also noted that Trump didn't even have to come to New York for his arraignment.
00:56He could have done the whole arraignment at the crib because apparently they gave him the option to be arraigned over Zoom.
01:05After running through the day's events, Wood then brought in a special guest in the form of the ghosts of Daily Show's past, Jon Stewart.
01:12But the conversation slightly derailed.
01:15Why are you dressed like Obi-Wan Kenobi?
01:18I like to be comfortable.
01:20Over at The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon shared a special clip addressing the arraignment and Trump's Class E felony.
01:27Trump was like, of course they were very classy felonies.
01:30Some would say the classiest of felonies.
01:34Fallon then focused on Greene and Representative George Santos, who also showed up outside the New York courthouse
01:40and called it basically the craziest Thanksgiving Day parade.
01:43Even Times Square Elmer was like, if they try to engage, just walk right past them.
01:47Don't even, don't engage with them.
01:49Over on The Late Show, Stephen Colbert kicked off his Trump segment to loud cheers from the audience,
01:54discussing the media frenzy surrounding his arrest and what happened in the courtroom,
01:58showing a clip of an officer neglecting to hold the door open for Trump
02:02and the former president having to push it open himself.
02:04And over on NBC's Late Night, Seth Meyers dedicated his A Closer Look segment to Trump.
02:15Trump commented on his own arrest, a watershed moment in American history,
02:19the way your grandpa posts on Facebook about his trip to Italy.
02:23Wow, seems so surreal. Can't believe the pizza is better at home.
02:28Your grandmother says hello.
