NBC's Late Night host Seth Meyers is currently in the middle of a seven-week summer hiatus, but on Wednesday, Meyers and show producer/writer Sal Gentile put out a podcast on the show's YouTube page where they discussed some of the topics they would have covered if the show was on the air. One of the topics was President Trump's recent plane switch in Turkey, which led Meyers to wonder if the White House Correspondents' Dinner should now come to an end.

MS NOW's Jen Psaki attacked President Trump and the Justice Department on Wednesday's edition of The Briefing for launching an investigation into whether Alaskan GOP Senate candidate Dan Sullivan is running a deception operation to try to take votes away from the GOP incumbent senator of the same. Psaki portrayed this as just another instance of a politicized DOJ but naturally declined to mention any of the several pieces of evidence that point to Fake Sullivan being a fraud.

Rosie O'Donnell closed out her week guest hosting ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday by singing President Trump a song and demanding that he resign. Elsewhere in her monologue, O'Donnell also hyped the idea that she has a non-binary-identifying kid who claims to be neither a girl nor a boy.

While guest hosting All In on Thursday, MS NOW's Ali Velshi welcomed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico to another one of his strategy planning sessions disguised as an interview. At one point, Velshi seemed befuddled by the idea that “Most people are not losing sleep over transgender kids in sports, but they [Republicans] seem to just be stuck on this one with you.”

Some things in politics truly are complicated and require some nuance, but others are actually rather simple. For instance, when the population of a town nearly doubles overnight because of a mass swarm of illegal immigrants, the only rationale response is to send them back. However, PBS/CNN host Christiane Amanpour declared on her Thursday The Ex Files podcast that the aftermath of July's Cueta, Spain migrant crisis is “a very tricky one.”

MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart joined PBS News Hour on Friday for his weekly news recap segment with The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks. During the part of the discussion about DSA candidate Angie Nixon winning the Democratic Senate nomination in Florida, Capehart insisted that you can't actually claim Nixon is a DSA candidate and therefore tie her to the DSA's recent praise of Fidel Castro.

CNN anchor Dana Bash joined HBO host Bill Maher on Friday's edition of Real Time to analyze the state of the midterms. At one point, Bash portrayed the Texas Senate race between Ken Paxton and James Talarico as one between someone who has “ethical issues” and one who is a “Christian” who “wears his faith on his sleeve.”

Liberals are always telling us they believe in choice and that women should be allowed to do what they want with bodies, but after surrogate mother McKenna West traveled to Texas and chose not to get an abortion, MS NOW's Melissa Murray wasn't so sure. It's not that the Saturday Connect guest host suddenly became pro-life, but rather she claimed surrogacy disputes are complicated, as West is currently being sued for $100,000 by a California couple for not getting an abortion.

Singer/rapper Jelly Roll kicked of his week of guest hosting ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! by making sure he would get in the show's obligatory attacks on President Trump. Reacting to the weekend's IndyCar race in D.C., Jelly Roll professed that it was odd that Trump was enjoying the race “because normally he only likes his own race.”

ABC's Jimmy Kimmel and wife/writer/producer Molly McNearney sat down with Armchair Expert podcast hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman on Monday. As per tradition, the Kimmel's used a podcast forum to recall telling their children that Kimmel's September 2025 suspension was President Trump's fault, while both also suggested they have a moral imperative to keep going and not retire quite yet as a result.
