The world of entertainment and politics collided this week as late-night hosts weighed in on everything from Donald Trump's State of the Union ratings to the latest developments in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Meanwhile, awards season is in full swing, with the SAG Awards just around the corner.
The 32nd Annual Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, will broadcast live globally on Netflix on March 1, 2026. Kristen Bell will host the awards show, which honors outstanding acting performances in movies and television from the previous calendar year. The nominations are led by "One Battle After Another" with seven nods, followed by "Sinners" with five. Other contenders include "Frankenstein," "Hamnet," and "Marty Supreme."
But before the glamour of awards season takes center stage, late-night hosts are tackling the latest news from the world of politics. Stephen Colbert roasted Trump over his low State of the Union ratings, which saw an 11% decrease from last year. "Donald Trump is really dragging down broadcast television," Colbert joked. "I mean, if I were CBS, I'd cancel him."
Jimmy Kimmel also took aim at Trump, reacting to Hillary Clinton's forced testimony on Epstein. Clinton suggested that the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform should ask Trump directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times his name appears in the Epstein files. Kimmel quipped that Trump's name actually appears hundreds of thousands of times, almost a million.
The Daily Show's Desi Lydic also weighed in on the Epstein files, reacting to the revelation that the Department of Justice withheld documents mentioning Trump's name in relation to allegations that he sexually abused a minor. "Huh, that's strange," Lydic said. "Trump's DOJ did that? The same DOJ that promised to release the Epstein files and then gave influencers binders filled with old documents and they wouldn't release more, so Congress had to pass a law saying that they had to, but they still missed the deadline to release the files, and then when they finally did, the files were riddled with sketchy redactions? That DOJ? Nah, I can't see it."
In other news, Pokémon fans are in for a treat as the Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet Journey Together Booster Bundle has hit its best-ever price at Amazon. The bundle, which contains six booster packs, is now available for under $35, a savings of over $25 on the list price.
As the world of entertainment and politics continues to collide, one thing is clear: late-night hosts will be there to provide commentary and humor every step of the way. With the SAG Awards just around the corner and the Epstein case continuing to unfold, there's no shortage of material for Colbert, Kimmel, and The Daily Show to tackle.
