If you wear a casio watch be sure to watch the Guantanamo segment.

I just noticed that the Youtube titlebar for Last Week Tonight has two quotes, one ascribed to Donald Trump: "Very Boring".

The other is the WSJ: "Makes People Dumb".

Dunno, it tickled me. Almost as much as Colbert tweaking Trump's by bringing his two Emmy awards onstage.
