Monday provided many of the late night comedians with their first opportunities to react to former President Trump being found guilty in his New York trial. They invoked everything from advent calendars holding whiskey to Blu-ray recorders to bad Hunter Biden analogies to applaud the verdict and attack Republicans for condemning it.

Late Night host Seth Meyers proclaimed on NBC that he took great pleasure in watching Fox’s initial reporting on the verdict, “I've watched that clip so many times, I have it on Blu-ray now.”
Later in his “Closer Look” segment, Meyers didn’t see a problem with the idea that if Trump was not running for president, the case would never have been tried, “Trump's entire life is now coming back to haunt him, and regardless of how you feel about the case, I think you have to admit it's pretty funny. All this loud-mouthed dip[bleep] had to do was not run for president and there's a good chance he would have gotten away with his life of criminality. Here's a good rule of thumb: if you have a closet full of skeletons, don't announce a campaign for the most closely scrutinized office in the entire world.”
