 Jimmy Kimmel on James Comey Firing 
 
 https://youtu.be/8X9QGqbE3gs ||||| It was announced on Tuesday afternoon that FBI Director James Comey was officially fired by President Trump. His firing raised the eyebrows of those interested in the investigations into Russian interference in the election and possible collusion between the Trump administration and the Russian government. 
 
 CNN’s Anderson Cooper, host of “Anderson Cooper 360°,” raised such concerns to senior adviser Kellyanne Conway some hours after the decision.

 When asked what she would say to those wondering about the timing of the move, Conway cited the FBI’s reputation and credibility. 
 
 Cooper asked his question again. He wondered why the administration worried over Comey’s handling of an investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email server when they praised him for it on the campaign trail. 
 
 “This man is the President of the United States, he acted decisively today,” Conway said after accusing Cooper of “going back to the campaign.” 
 
 “He said one thing as a candidate and now he’s concerned as president?” Cooper later asked in clarification. 
 
 As Cooper attempted to explain the various concerns that even Republican senators shared, including Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), he asked what the administration’s response was to allegations such as Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (R-N.Y.) that the firing was a “cover-up.”

 “It’s not a cover-up,” Conway asserted. She went on to say that Comey had even assured the president that he was not under investigation, a statement found in Comey’s firing letter. When asked the circumstances why Comey would need to make such an assurance, Conway said that it was “between the President of the United States and Director Comey.” 
 
 “You don’t think it looks odd at all that the President of the United States is firing the guy who’s leading the investigation into the president’s White House and the people around the president?” Cooper inquired. Conway again pointed to the words in the firing letter where Trump thanked Comey for assuring him that he was not under investigation. ||||| President Donald Trump’s shock firing of FBI director James Comey was the hot topic on late-night television Tuesday. 
 
 Jimmy Kimmel summarized the situation in his opening monologue telling his audience, “Trump fired James Comey for making him president,” alluding to the fact that one reason for Comey’s firing was likely his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails in the final days of the U.S. election race in 2016, which Democrats believe harmed her campaign and helped Trump win. 
 
 At the time of his firing, Comey was leading an FBI investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government to help sway the presidential election in his favor. 
 
 “We’ve seen a lot of unusual stuff,” said Kimmel. “But this is outrageous.” 
 
 The comedian then joked that he would be selling “Comey is my homey” T-shirts in solidarity with the former FBI director. 
 
 Comedy Central’s Trevor Noah had a pretty valid question upon hearing the news. “If [Comey’s] gone, who’s going to investigate Russia’s ties to… ohhh,” he said on Tuesday’s The Daily Show.

 Noah called Trump’s excuse for firing Comey a “masterstroke,” adding: “This is insane. Trump is basically saying he’s doing this because of what Comey did to Hillary.”

 The Late Show host Stephen Colbert was shocked by the news, which broke as he recorded Tuesday’s show. He joked, “We’ll have more on this [on Wednesday] when they scramble to cover the whole thing up.” 
 
 Colbert joked that Trump somehow managed to make his letter firing Comey all about him. In his letter to Comey, Trump wrote that he appreciated Comey “informing me, on three separate occasions, I am not under investigation.” 
 
 “Does everything have to be about him?” said Colbert. 
 
 Over on Colbert’s sister show, The Late Late Show , James Corden nervously laughed as he observed: “Remember two years ago when we all made jokes about if Trump ever became president he’d be like, ‘You’re fired. You’re fired. You’re fired.’ They were good times” 
 
 Corden then quipped, “I’m worried this puts Trump in a real bind—he doesn’t have enough kids to fill the vacancy.” 
 
 “Comey’s being fired because Donald Trump is crazy,” he added. ||||| Late night comedy hosts found themselves surprised by the news that President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday. 
 
 Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Trevor Noah had to swiftly respond to the breaking news. 
 
 For Colbert and "The Late Show," the news broke during the afternoon taping of the CBS broadcast. 
 
 "That shows no gratitude at all," Colbert said of the firing in his opening monologue. "Did Trump forget about the Hillary emails that Comey talked about?" 
 
 Then, in his best Trump voice, Colbert said, "Thanks for the presidency, Jimmy," and added, "Don't let the door hit 'ya where the Electoral College split 'ya."

 On "The Daily Show," Trevor Noah expressed a mixture of shock and confusion over the dismissal of Comey, the man who was responsible for the FBI's investigation into whether members of Trump's campaign colluded with Russia in last year's election. 
 
 "Wow, Trump fired the FBI director! Like, you can't just fire the FBI director," Noah said. "I mean if he's gone, who's going to investigate Russia's ties to -- Ohhhhhhhhhhh." 
 
 As for Kimmel, he opened his ABC show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" trying to figure out the reasoning behind the firing. 
 
 "He fired James Comey, the director of the FBI, which is kind of like O.J. [Simpson] firing Judge Ito halfway through the trial," Kimmel said at the top of the show Tuesday night. 
 
 Kimmel continued with his disbelief, but then jokingly came up with a possible explanation. 
 
 "This is the kind of thing reality TV hosts do. They fire someone every week. Maybe that's what happened. He thinks he's still on 'The Celebrity Apprentice,'" the host said. "It was between James Comey and Meatloaf, and well, the Loaf won again."

 Kimmel also told his audience that he would now start selling "Comey Is My Homey" t-shirts to fight back against Trump's decision. 
 
 "If you are one of the millions of Americans who are angry about this shameful and disgraceful move, send me $29.99 and I will use some of that money to send a very nasty letter directly to the Oval Office," he said.
