Transcript

00:00Omarosa! How can you say that about the president three years after we all said that about the

00:06president? The view between President Donald Trump and former White House aide Omarosa

00:11Manigault Newman has been getting increasingly heated in the wake of her shocking announcement

00:15that she had recorded conversations during her time working for Trump and her labeling of the

00:20president as a racist. Trump lashed out at his former colleague on Twitter, calling her

00:24wacky and deranged, and later referring to her as a dog.

00:27On their Monday shows, a late-night host took some time to address the situation and to poke fun

00:32at the feuding pair. On CBS's The Late Show, Stephen Colbert noted that Omarosa was just the

00:37latest in a long line of disgruntled former Trump administration employees.

00:41The White House is basically a reboot of The Last Supper, Oops All Judases.

00:46Showing a clip of Omarosa on Sunday's Meet the Press, during which she called Trump a racist,

00:50Colbert said her most shocking allegation is that she heard a tape where Donald Trump used the N-word.

00:55The guy who refused to rent to black tenants said that a Nazi Klan rally had some fine people and

01:01called Africa a s**hole is a racist.

01:03Over on NBC's Late Night, Seth Meyers dedicated much of his Closer Look segment to Omarosa and Trump.

01:09Now that he's bogged down in a ridiculous feud with an aide who's as good as he is at orchestrating

01:14a reality show spectacle, Trump is suddenly slamming the credibility of somebody who was once one of

01:18his closest confidants, Meyers said. You know what made Omarosa look legitimate? Putting her in the White House.

01:24I can't wait until Trump's forced to resign and President Mike Pence tweets,

01:28please ignore this disgruntled employee, he has no credibility.

01:31Over at The Daily Show on Comedy Central, Trevor Noah was quick to poke fun at Omarosa for taking so long

01:36to realize Trump's shortcomings. Seriously though, Omarosa had to spend a year in the White House to learn that

01:41Donald Trump doesn't know what he's doing, Noah questioned.

01:43I can't wait for her next book. Donald Trump, something's wrong with his hair.

01:48Meanwhile, after Omarosa released a recording of Trump expressing his disbelief that she was fired,

01:53Noah admitted that he wasn't entirely convinced by the president's frustrations, noting,

01:57For a man who lies as much as Trump, you'd think he'd be better at it.

02:00Noah further argued,

02:01What is shocking is how many people are secretly recording the President of the United States

02:06all the time. I'm surprised there's not feedback loops to everyone. In fact, Noah

02:10news that so many people have recordings of Trump these days, there should be a Grammy

02:14category dedicated to the genre.

02:16And the award goes to, oh, Adele! Surprise, it's Adele actually.

02:21Back on NBC, Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon addressed the feud by reminding his audience that

02:25while there was a new episode of Bachelor in Paradise that night…

02:28But if you really want to see some reality stars, go at it on TV. Just check out Omarosa

02:32and President Trump.

02:33Speaking about Manigault Newman's memoir, Unhinged, in which she claims Trump has mentally

02:37declined, Fallon quipped,

02:39Trump was furious. He said,

02:40This book is an outrage. And wait, what were we talking about?

02:43Fallon then played an audio recording of Omarosa being fired by General John Kelly in the

02:47White House Situation Room, which she shared while visiting Meet the Press.

02:50Turns out, anytime someone asks,

02:52Is the president aware of what's going on? Kelly says,

02:54Let's not go down that road, Fallon joked.

02:56Experts said nobody's ever made a recording in that room. And then one guy said,

03:01That you'll know about.

03:02And on CBS's Late Late Show, James Corden noted the irony of Kelly telling Omarosa

03:07that she was fired due to,

03:08Significant integrity issues.

03:10And nothing says,

03:11I don't have integrity issues like recording your boss in the Top Secret Situation Room.

03:16Corden then shared the phone conversation between Manigault Newman and Trump,

03:20in which the president revealed that he didn't know his former aide had been fired.

03:24I wasn't sure if the recording was real or not until the part where Trump admits

03:28he doesn't know what's going on in the White House.

03:31And finally, on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host noted,

03:34If Omarosa was able to get secret recordings of Trump,

03:37Vladimir Putin knows every porn star name that he's ever whispered.
