Welcome to Late Night Roundup, where we provide a summary of last night’s comedy highlights. This allows you to catch up on what you missed and helps us stay informed on the latest in humor.

New Lows for Trump

A recent poll by Economist/YouGov revealed President Trump’s approval rating has hit a low of 34 percent. Jimmy Kimmel addressed this on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ commenting that these numbers are ‘bad news for Donald Trump.’

‘He is now down to 34 percent. He has the same approval rating as “Paul Blart: Mall Cop.” The Blart of the Deal.’ — JIMMY KIMMEL

‘Trump’s approval numbers, like his testicles, have sunk to an all-time low. They are lower than they’ve ever been.’ — JIMMY KIMMEL

‘Not only is Trump at his lowest point, he’s also two points behind JD Vance. I don’t have a joke for that. I just want to make sure he knows, he’s two points behind JD Vance.’ — JIMMY KIMMEL

‘So, when asked about the numbers, usually they’ll deflect this kind of thing, but a White House spokesperson said, “The ultimate poll was Nov. 5, 2024, when nearly 80 million Americans overwhelmingly elected President Trump to deliver on his popular and common-sense agenda.” OK, yeah. But now it’s May of 2026, and everybody hates him, so.’ — JIMMY KIMMEL

The Punchiest Punchlines

In related news, the Treasury Department plans to introduce a $250 bill featuring President Trump. This move is part of the celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary.

‘There he is, the least-popular bill since Cosby.’ — JIMMY KIMMEL

‘And, really, what better way to pay for a single tank of gas than with a bill featuring the head of the man who made it cost that much?’ — JIMMY KIMMEL
