"President Trump and first lady Melania Trump hosted trick-or-treaters at the White House yesterday and gave out full-size Hershey bars," Seth Meyers said on Tuesday's Late Night. "And the kids were super excited — until they got the bill." Yes, "President Trump and Melania passed out candy to trick-or-treaters on the White House lawn, I'm guessing for the first time?" he added, showing Trump not quite getting the concept. "Why are you putting it on his head?"
"Things got a little weird when they started handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters," James Corden narrated at The Late Late Show. "There's a cute Minion coming up, but look, rather than putting the candy bar in the bag, Trump just puts it on his head. What is even going on here? Those are two people who definitely don't know how children work. Trump should be very comfortable around minions — his Cabinet is full of them."
"To kick things off, the president and the first lady walked out to the Addams Family theme song," Stephen Colbert said at The Late Show. "That's nice. Also, makes sense. The Trumps are creepy, kooky, and have their own Uncle Fester."

Jimmy Kimmel also had a Rudy Giuliani joke at Kimmel Live, and he noted some of Trump's other musical selections. "What kind of music do you play when you have a bunch of kids coming over?" he asked. "That's right, Michael Jackson — I guess maybe they don't get HBO at the White House."
"Trump and Melania hung in for about an hour yesterday, and you can see some of the kids just skip right by the president," Kimmel said. "Really kind of sad." He showed Trump's odd moment with "one of the minions who doesn't work for him," then rolled out some special effects. Watch below. Peter Weber
