Pick your favorite.

 

Trevor Noah:  “It’s not karma to get hit by lightning when you’re standing on the roof of a skyscraper holding a metal rod while there’s lightning. The universe didn’t do that s--- to you. You did that s--- to yourself!”

 

Seth Meyers:  “Nothing projects strength like waving from the back seat of an SUV like a kid headed for soccer practice. Smart move keeping your juice box between your knees.”

 

Meyers again:  “If there was an epidemic of bear attacks, these people would be running around in the woods wearing scarves made of sausage links.”

 

Stephen Colbert, commenting on Trump’s statement that he had “learned a lot about covid” from his treatments:  “Really? You’re learning now? For the last eight months, I’ve heard about millions of people getting infected with covid, hundreds of thousands of [them] dying. But how could I know these people were real if they weren’t me? But now they are me. My thoughts and prayers go to all of myself.”
