Alas, poor Spicey.
Downton Abbey is taking its show on the road.
Samantha Bee hasn’t gone on Twitter since Election Night which really is the only way to stay sane.

Hey, Jake Tapper, who you talking about?
Late Night Roundup
Hey, remember how Trump used to get so mad about President Obama’s executive orders? Seth Meyers does:
True fact: Trump had a button installed in the Oval Office that has Cokes delivered to him.
Leslie Jones plays Truth or Lie with Dr. Phil and it’s a little nuts.
