CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! are the only two late night comedy shows with original episodes this week. As such, both men were the only ones able to give their thoughts on the recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. While both hosts acknowledged their eternal nemesis, President Donald Trump, should get credit for the deal, they ridiculed any idea of him winning a Nobel Peace Prize for it given his domestic agenda.
Colbert was up first, and he declared, “But there is some good news out there, because today, thanks to Trump's newly brokered ceasefire in Gaza, all living Israeli hostages and almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners have been released. Okay, it's important. Credit where credit is due: Donald Trump did something good. Are we still canceled? Are you sure? I tried. I tried. It's kind of surprising to see him do something good.”
Moving on to the Peace Prize, Colbert added, “Despite the deal, on Friday, in a truly foreseeable turn of events, Trump did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize.”
