00:00By the time this is broadcast, we're either in a brand new state of emergency
00:05or the same one we've been in since November of 2016.
00:10On Tuesday, President Donald Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office
00:13to speak about the border wall and government shutdown,
00:15and the late-night host had plenty to say about his remarks,
00:18which were televised on the country's biggest broadcast and cable networks.
00:22On CBS's Late Show, Stephen Colbert announced...
00:25Trump's address preempted our regularly scheduled CBS programming
00:29FBI.
00:31Not the first time he's interfered with an FBI investigation.
00:35Over on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host joked,
00:37this was Trump's first address from the Oval Office.
00:40Up until now, he'd been using it exclusively for Kardashian meet-and-greets,
00:44but tonight, he got very serious.
00:47All the major networks covered his speech live, and for good reason, Kimmel said.
00:51It was historic.
00:52Rarely does the President of the United States interrupt primetime television
00:56to warn us about a completely made-up thing.
00:58Kimmel then offered some friendly advice to the Commander-in-Chief.
01:02If you really want to come up with a fake border crisis, make it a scary border crisis.
01:07Don't say there are illegal immigrants.
01:08Say there is an army of chupacabras crawling in through Tijuana.
01:14On NBC's Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon also acknowledged Trump's address
01:17in the proposed wall, saying,
01:19It got weary when he held up a picture of the wall and said,
01:21And it could all be yours for five easy payments of $1 billion.
01:26The host also noted the address had aired on Spanish language network Telemundo,
01:30and promptly quipped,
01:31Later on, when Trump saw his speech dubbed in Spanish on Telemundo,
01:34he had himself deported.
01:35And late-night Seth Meyers took to Twitter during Trump's address, writing,
01:38Somebody please add and lie from New York, it's Saturday night, into the teleprompter.
01:42He later added,
01:43Is this Oval Office SVU in reference to the show Law & Special Victims Unit?
