Colbert and Kimmel tell same Trump joke

[Steve Timko]

Both Colbert and Kimmel said Trump had the memory and skin tone of a goldfish. Interesting coincidence.

The only thing surprising about this is that it took so long to happen.

On second thought, it didn't take this long. Sadly, I don't recall the exact joke, but a month or two ago, Noah, Colbert, and Meyers all had the same one.

Monologue writers sit alone in offices and generate dozens of jokes each day. Most of them relate to the day's news events. Then the host throws most of the jokes out and a few make it into the monologue. With the number of news based comedy shows on each day there's bound to be overlap. Years ago one writer for one of the shows said the writers called it a Yahtzee when different hosts did the same joke.

In his Variety essay a few months ago, Conan mentioned that there was one night 24 years ago that he, Leno and Letterman told the same Dan Quayle joke the same night.

I posted one from 1988 between Dave and Jay:

I feel like it also used to happen a lot between TDS/Stewart & Colbert.

I watch Colbert and Seth regularly and it happens a couple of times a week if there’s something big in the news.

Semi-related, after 24 years of my whining, WBTV Charlotte is finally clearing “The Late Show with” at 11:35pm on Friday’s during high school football season. Previously, they were going to 11:45 and then 12:05am with high school football coverage.

Now they’ve decided to cut off the local news at 11:15 and move the high school football coverage to their streaming channel at 11:32. Similar to what the ABC and NBC affiliates do here. I guess it took a change in ownership to make it happen.
