Trevor Noah On The Daily Show, Trevor Noah spoke about Elon Musk’s latest decision, to stop the ban on Covid misinformation. During the pandemic, more than 11,000 accounts and 100,000 pieces of content were removed. “Maybe this is my vaccine microchip talking but I don’t think it’s responsible of Twitter to bring back people who were spreading Covid misinformation,” he said, But Noah also expressed surprise that people are still in need of more information about the subject. “It’s 2022, like how can you still be misinformed about Covid,” he said. “Were you just running around saying I heard the vaccine turns you into a lizard? Motherfucker, it’s been three years. Do you see any lizards here?” The host also showed concern over the social media platform being used as WebMD. “Forget Covid for a second, it’s crazy that anyone would go to Twitter for any medical information,” he said. He added: “People should be going to the doctor for this stuff but because no one can afford a doctor in America, people are out here searching #bumponmydick and hoping to find the cure.” Stephen Colbert On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert also spoke about Elon Musk. “Ever since he took over Twitter it’s become a flaming porta-potty thrown out of a helicopter,” he said. After changing the rules on blue ticks as a result of monetising them, Musk has now changed them again to three tiers: gold, grey and blue. “Is this Twitter or a new breakfast cereal?” Colbert asked. He also spoke about the ban being lifted on Covid misinformation. “Twitter can now go back to being our number one source of news about what the vaccine did to a rapper’s cousin’s friend’s balls,” he said. Musk has continued rallying against liberals leaving the platform and brands for refusing to advertise on it. “They don’t hate free speech, they’re mad at you because you freed hate speech,” he said. Colbert also mentioned the MyPillow CEO, Mike Lindell, who is campaigning to be the new chair of the RNC but has yet to be endorsed by Donald Trump. “Wow, he hasn’t said anything supportive but Lindell’s been like a son – oh yeah, that makes sense,” he joked. Colbert instead suggested that an actual pillow might be better for the Republicans because “he’s white and he’s square”. Jimmy Kimmel On Jimmy Kimmel Live! the host spoke about the Bidens hosting the French president, Emmanuel Macron, for dinner but claimed that the US president does dinners a little differently. “They have it at four and then everyone goes to bed,” he joked. He moved on to Kanye West’s unhinged and hateful rant, “three hours of complete insanity with the despicable Alex Jones”, calling them “just two guys who’ve lost a billion dollars”. West praised the Nazis and Hitler while wearing a black covering over his face. “I think he’s wearing the wrong colour hood,” Kimmel said. He said that we now “have a black white supremacist running around” and mentioned that if a white celebrity, such as Ariana Grande, started saying comments like this, “we’d load her in the cannon and fire her in the ocean”. Jones referred to the conversation as lit, to which Kimmel said it was “lit like a tiki torch in Charlottesville”. Kimmel also mentioned the controversial Republican candidate Herschel Walker, whose “most fearsome enemy is his mouth” as his people tried to stop him from talking publicly during the runoff to be senator of Georgia. They also “can’t afford to have him impregnate someone else”.
