Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Trevor Noah gawk as Trump loses it over whistleblowers and impeachment

Late Night on Trump's whistleblower

"Last night, I compared the president's behavior to The Sopranos, but today it seems more like Six Feet Under, because somebody finally pulled the fire alarm in hell," Jimmy Kimmel said on Thursday's Kimmel Live. "The much-anticipated complaint against the president has been unearthed, and if this isn't it, nothing will be. This grabs Trump by the McNuggets and it doesn't ask permission."

Trump threw "a little tantrum on the tarmac" for reporters, Kimmel said, and "lashed out directly at the whistleblower and the person who turned him in to the whistleblower — which is outrageous — and he made it very clear that he wants to know who it was that ratted him out," apparently for execution purposes. "He really is spinning out, he's getting increasingly sloppy — you'd think the guy with the world's most famous combover would be better at a coverup," he said. "Here's my prediction: The only guy who's going down for all this: Rudy Giuliani. When the dust clears, Rudy will be under the bus. ... Having Rudy Giuliani be your middle man — it's like asking Bill Cosby to chaperone your date."
