"One day history will ask: 'Where were you when the House voted on the impeachment inquiry?'" Jimmy Kimmel said on Thursday's Halloween edition of Kimmel Live. "And I will say, 'On stage, dressed as an orange peanut.' The House voted today to formalize the impeachment process, which means — I don't know what it means. It means it will go to the Senate, the Republicans in the Senate will do nothing about it, and he'll say he won, is probably what it means."
But Trump still rage-tweeted about the "witch hunt" Thursday and "once again, defended his 'perfect call' with the Ukrainian president," Kimmel said. "He wrote: 'Read the transcript!' Which, this is like Lori Laughlin saying 'Check my kid's SAT score!' Not one Republican voted in favor of the impeachment resolution. In the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell lashed out, he said the Democrats are taking a vacation from the needs of the American people — in other words, instead of wasting time on this, you should be sending over more legislation for me to kill. Mitch McConnell is sitting on over 100 bills right now. He uses them to nest his terrarium."
"Today is Halloween and the House of Representatives passed a resolution that formalized the impeachment inquiry into President Trump — in other words, Boo!" Seth Meyers said at Late Night. "Today is Halloween, which means tomorrow Rudy Giuliani will be half off. ... After being named President Trump's cybersecurity adviser in 2017, Rudy Giuliani got locked out of his phone after entering an incorrect password 10 times, and had to visit the Apple Store to have it fixed. Even worse, his phone is a Samsung Galaxy."

This year's "least popular Halloween costume, once again: Sexy Rudy Giuliani," Jimmy Fallon joked at The Tonight Show. "Today the House voted on a resolution to move forward with the impeachment inquiry, and you could tell the Democrats were pretty fired up about it," he said, playing fake audio of the roll call.
