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.

01:14On 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?
