Best of Late Night TV: Will Ferrell's New Santa, Donald Trump's Defense, Dick Van Dyke Sings A Cappella
If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.
Never mind "The Tonight Show" Wednesday night to share his plan to crush the "old, lame" image of Santa Claus and replace him with this new bruh. His new Santa shot T-shirts into the audience, sat in some random guy's lap to ask what he wanted for Christmas, sang a "Drone Zone" Christmas song with Jimmy, and gave age-inappropriate gifts to Jimmy's daughters. ("Law & Order: SVU," just what a toddler wants!)
Donald Trump was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Wednesday night, and he was himself. Jimmy did a great job with the questions -- send him to CNN. Trump said many of his Muslims friends support him. He thinks CNN should pay him "a lot" for the debates. He called Tom Brady a winner. He might see the new Star Wars movie. When Jimmy told him that Biff from "Back to the Future" was based on him, he replied, "Where's my cut?" Jimmy also read Trump the children's book he ghost wrote for him, called "Winners Aren't Losers." It is classic!
Dick Van Dyke is a national treasure, and he just turned 90, and he should be everywhere. He and Betty White should both be everywhere while we have them with us. Dick has an a cappella group, and they joined Conan O'Brien to sing the title song from Dick's classic movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." Adorable. Sometimes you just want some quiet time, so -- cue Robert De Niro, who doesn't really want to talk to any of us, he'd rather just sit there and drink. The legend was on "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert and, after some compliments and stories from Stephen, they enjoyed a cold martini and silence. Except for the audience tittering and clapping.
