00:00Sir, I wish you a very birthday.
00:05Thursday was President Donald Trump's 72nd birthday, and late-night hosts joined in the
00:09celebration in their own special way. On CBS's The Late Show host Stephen Colbert bought
00:14a very special present for the president. After wishing Trump a birthday — not a happy
00:18one, just a birthday — Colbert delivered this peace offering.
00:22Now, although I criticize President Trump, everybody knows that I did give him a gift.
00:27Sir, I hope you enjoy these cufflinks. Just let me know if you have trouble getting them on.
00:36Great minds think alike. On Comedy Central's The Daily Show, Trevor Noah also suggested that
00:41Trump get some time in custody for his birthday in a between-the-scenes segment.
00:45What do you get the man who has everything? A pair of handcuffs? Handcuffs, yes.
00:51Noah then noted that the birthday had its ups and downs for the president. The New York
00:55Attorney General served Trump with a lawsuit on Thursday, which is Trump's favorite kind
00:59of suit, Noah joked. The host also said Trump received a present with the Justice Department's
01:04Inspector General report on the FBI's handling of the 2016 presidential campaign.
01:09The report found that former FBI head James Comey had used a private email server for some bureau work,
01:14the same practice that Comey had faulted presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for,
01:18and that one FBI agent had texted someone saying,
01:21we'll stop Trump from winning the election.
01:23I don't care what anyone says, it looks bad, Noah said.
01:26Can you imagine if you found out the FBI during Obama's term, like someone, like FBI agents were texting
01:31and one of them was like, what if he wins? It's like, don't worry, he'll be born in Kenya.
01:35Over on TBS, Conan O'Brien didn't neglect to mention Trump's day of birth either.
01:40The host joked, Trump spent a quiet evening with loved ones, then Melania stopped by.
01:45He added that on Thursday, Trump had some cake, ate some ice cream and played some golf,
01:49and they remembered it was his birthday.
01:51On ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host imagined the cake Trump got for his birthday.
01:55They gave him a Carvel ice cream cake, he grabbed it right by the cookie puss, he joked.
01:59Referencing the recent Supreme Court case involving a Colorado baker refusing to make a cake
02:04for a same-sex couple on the basis of religious objection, Kimmel added,
02:08The Vice President is the one who actually gets the cake for birthdays.
02:12He is in charge of making sure that all cakes that come into the White House were baked by heterosexuals.
