TV hosts have field day with Omarosa’s book

Aformer reality TV star writes a salacious tellall book about working in the Trump White House, and secretly records conversations on her way out the door? Obviously, late-night talk show hosts are going to have a field day.

On Monday night, the comedians had plenty to say

(and mock) about Omarosa Manigault Newman; her new book, Unhinged; and those tapes. Here are some of the topics that Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Trevor Noah, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon and James Corden all covered:

In her book, Omarosa alleged that she saw President Donald Trump eat a piece of paper in the Oval Office.

Colbert: “Well, the hunt for Trump’s tax returns just got way grosser.”

Fallon: “On the bright side, that’s actually the healthiest thing he’s ever eaten.”

Kimmel: “When your presidential stationery is the back of a Mcdonald’s Extra Value Meal, things like that happen.”

Trump’s tweets that said, “Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time. She never made it, never will

... When Gen. Kelly came on board he told me she was a loser & nothing but problems. I told him to try working it out, if possible, because she only said GREAT things about me.”

Colbert: “You do realise that means you hired her four times, right?”

Meyers: “Actually, she did make it. You hired her for a job in the White House after she got fired three times on The Apprentice. That’s like getting cut three times from the Mets and thinking, ‘I’m gonna try out for the Yankees’.”

Colbert: “She’s a loser who wouldn’t show up to work, but you kept her on ‘cause she said nice things? What’s the interview process like there? ‘OK, you’ll be working at the White House, lots of responsibility. So, first question: Do you think the president is a big handsome boy? Great. OK, good, here’s your key card. And here are the launch codes’.”

The fact that people keep writing books about the White House.

Noah: “It is one of the great ironies of all time that the Trump presidency has given us more books than ever before. Which is a crazy thing, because this is a guy whose favourite thing to read is the Hooters T-shirt.”

Colbert: “Now we know for certain why Trump didn’t get a dog, because he knows the dog is just going to write a tell-all: ‘White House Broken: My Ruff Tenure as a Presidential Pet.’”

Omarosa’s recording from the Situation Room, where John Kelly fired her and dodged the question when she asked, “Is the president aware of what’s going on?”

Fallon: “Turns out any time somebody asks ‘Is the president aware of what’s going on?’ Kelly says, ‘Let’s not go down that road. It’s a dead end.’”

Noah: “John Kelly doesn’t sound that bad. If anything, he just sounds like a guy who had a lot more important things to do. He’s just like, ‘Look, I can’t have this conversation. The president accidentally swallowed the nuclear launch codes and we need to come up with some new ones ASAP’.” – The Washington Post
