Handle With Care
President Trump announced that he would extend the cease-fire with Iran on Tuesday, just a few hours before the truce was set to expire.
Sharing the news on Wednesday, Stephen Colbert said he was “beginning to think this war might not be over by Memorial Day,” when “The Late Show” will end its run. The host told viewers to hold on while he addressed a box marked “Iran War Jokes” in Sharpie.
“[reading aloud] ‘FedEx to ABC, care of Jimmy Kimmel, Hollywood.’ Enjoy, buddy! It’s coming to you.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Hours after he said the U.S. military was raring to resume its bombing campaign, President Trump announced yesterday that he would extend the cease-fire with Iran. This guy gives out more mixed messages than a Los Angeles parking sign.” — SETH MEYERS
“One Iranian official explained: ‘Trump’s cease-fire extension means nothing,’ adding ‘The losing side cannot dictate terms.’ Hey! Hey, buddy, we’re America. We don’t lose wars — we just leave them.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
The Punchiest Punchlines (Side Effects of War Edition)
“Karex, the world’s largest manufacturer of condoms, may have to raise their prices by 20 to 30 percent because of supply chain issues caused by the war. The price of condoms will affect the Strait of Hormuz and the gays of Hormuz, too, equally.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“There are vessels filled with condoms that cannot get to their destinations, where they are desperately needed — specifically, Nick Cannon’s house.” — JIMMY KIMMEL, referring to a comedian and actor with 12 children
“Well, well, well, looks like that Trojan I’ve had in my wallet since 2002 is finally going to get some action — when I sell it on eBay.” — MICHAEL KOSTA
“This conflict needs to end soon, please. Because reportedly, the world’s top condom maker is set to raise prices due to the Iran war. Forget the Strait of Hormuz, now this war has come to pound town.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
