Late Night Hosts Jest About Trump’s NBA Finals Nap

Late night hosts recently took aim at President Trump’s visit to Game 3 of the NBA Finals in New York City, where he was caught dozing off during the event. The incident provided ample fodder for comedic monologues, with hosts delivering pointed remarks and humorous observations.

Trump’s Nap at the NBA Finals

On Monday night, President Trump attended the NBA Finals, only to be captured on camera seemingly asleep during the game. This unusual occurrence did not go unnoticed by late night comedians, who were eager to share their takes.

Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at Trump, stating, “There’s Dozes Malone, who spent who-knows-how-many million taxpayer dollars to get there, and he goes out like a light.” He further remarked on the significance of this moment, noting that Trump might be “the first sitting president to shut down a major United States city so he could take a nap in front of a sold-out crowd at the NBA finals.”

Jimmy Fallon joined in the fun, quipping, “Last night, President Trump slept at Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA finals, and the Knicks fans are blaming him for the team’s loss. Trump doesn’t want to be blamed, so today he called the N.B.A. and demanded they ‘find’ five more points for the Knicks.”

Desi Lydic added a humorous jab, stating, “Sir, you can’t sleep through the game. You’re the president, not Game 3 referee Marc Davis.”
