Late Night Shades South Korea for Giving Trump a Crown

Television|Late Night Shades South Korea for Giving Trump a Crown

Welcome to Late Night Roundup, a rundown of the previous night’s highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.

The Burger King

President Trump was presented with a replica of a gold crown upon his arrival in South Korea on Wednesday.

On “The Daily Show,” Desi Lydic referred to the event as “a ‘yes, king’ rally for Trump,” as the president “continues to eat, pray, love his way through Asia.”

“It’s so embarrassing how easy he is to manipulate. It’s like when you give kids Pokémon cards to get them to behave. A golf bag, a putter, a medal — and now a crown. Maybe he could just stay there and be king of South Korea, huh?” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“We have been trying real hard over here to gently steer our president away from the whole king thing, and then you come along all, ‘Hey, President Trump, check out this cool crown, try it on, take it home with you!’ Not helping! Please, just give him a sack of money like a normal country.” — DESI LYDIC

“You know as soon as the cameras were gone, Trump asked if he could try it on.” — SETH MEYERS

The Punchiest Punchlines (South Korea Edition)

“Well, guys, today President Trump traveled to South Korea for the last stop on his trip to Asia. Trump had many questions for South Korea’s president, starting with, ‘[imitating Trump] Which demon hunter are you?’” — JIMMY FALLON

“Trump and South Korea’s president then had lunch, where they were served kimchi, spinach soybean paste soup and mini beef patties with ketchup. Gee, I wonder who ate what.” — JIMMY FALLON

“Then, I’m not going to say the Korean brown-nosed him, but they got so far up there, I am pretty sure they snorted one of his tonsils, because they gave Donald Trump the only thing he’s missing at this point: a big golden crown. And their official lunch featured mini beef patties with ketchup. They’re literally making him the Burger King.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
