Anthony Atamanuik’s Donald Trump is Taking Over @midnight This Week
11:30PM on Comedy Central, Monday through Thursday.
The best impression of Donald Trump by Anthony Atamanuik is going to be on TV tonight through Thursday, which will be a nice way to cap off watching all the evenings spent watching the series and season premieres of dozens of shows this week.
Perhaps, your idea of the voice of reason wasn’t so gruff and didn’t curse so much.
Still, Lewis Black offers such a rational explanation as to why we all should move on from the nonsense that is Trump during his appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers last night.
As you’re probably aware, Donald Trump has spoken well of Russian President Vladimir Putin much to the dismay of many Americans, especially at the time of this election.
So, AOK took it upon themselves to highlight how bad this mutual appreciation between these two loose cannons can really be with a very mutated version of the classic song Ebony & Ivory and an accompanying animated music video that’s almost as weird as that Japanese Trump ad.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert brought us a new Werd segment that not only showed the rampant inconsistencies in Trump’s stance on immigration in his presidential campaign as of late, but also managed to work plenty of Anthony Weiner digs in there too.
In case you’re not aware, Peter Serafinowicz has been brilliantly re-dubbing Trump speeches, word-for-word, in different accents and voices. As Trump keeps saying insane things, Serafinowicz’s library of these videos has only grown.
This latest one might be his best as it really highlights how much pandering Trump is doing while also playing up how sassy he is.
A recent initiative, dubbed “extreme vetting”, was added to Donald Trump’s controversial immigration policy this week. It calls for questioning of potential immigrants’ sympathies toward extremist religious views, LBGTQ people, women, etc.
With this litmus test, The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper wanted to see how many a Trump supporter would fare on this ‘extreme vetting’ test and did some field research at a Trump rally to find out.
Spoiler alert: you probably won’t be surprised by the results whatsoever.
Last night was the second to last night of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore and they’re making sure that leave in a memorable fashion.
In that vein, they got Lewis Black to go on a tirade, which you can always count on being memorable, on Donald Trump, his presidential campaign, and the GOP.
If you’re tired of shouting yourself right now, enjoy one of the masters of unfiltered, screaming rage do what he does best.
MoveOn.Org Is Putting on a Trump Comedy Contest, “Laughter Trumps Hate”
It’s free to enter, they’re accepting submissions for sketch, stand-up, and Trump impressions, and there is a cash prize for the winners as well as the potential “to be invited to participate in other comedy projects or events as part the Laughter Trumps Hate Task Force.”
The deadline is Wednesday, August 17th at midnight PDT.
The UK’s Peter Serafinowicz has a knack for dubbing various speeches, clips, and sound bytes of Donald Trump with several different fun accents.
He doesn’t change any of the words, but the effect really highlights how ridiculous Trump sounds, in case you don’t think he sounds ridiculous already.
For this latest batch, Peter gave the Donald an appropriately whiny sounding voice.
Please let this be the voice you now hear from now on when Trump speaks.
Take note of how The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, for the moment at least, is kind of like The Colbert Report, but without Stephen Colbert being in character.
We hope that continues just like the segment now known as The Werd.
It’s all official now.
The 2016 Presidential Election will be between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
That’s unfortunate as this contest, with Bernie Sanders having dropped out, now has left the brilliant satirical parody of Trump vs. Bernie, orchestrated masterfully by Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian hanging.
So, with that in mind, Atamanuik and Adomian have retired Trump vs. Bernie for now, but have made sure give us all one last parting gift: a Trump vs. Bernie album.
Trump vs. Bernie: Live in Brooklyn was just released yesterday on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify, and will come out on vinyl in November.
Of all the political comedy in this election, Trump vs. Bernie stood out from the pack and you should definitely get their album to remember/find out what that was.
Of the many disturbing things to notice during this election season, one small aspect to note is the disregard for getting permission to play a song at an event.
You might have heard of a number of bands raising this issue recently with Donald Trump who has played songs Queen and Neil Young without asking permission.
On last night’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Oliver pointed out not only how wrong it is to play songs at a political event without permission, but how so many politicians don’t even get the irony of what’s being played.
Also, he got a bunch of famous musicians from Usher to Sheryl Crow and way more to make a song about this very issue.
If you’ve been pining for Jon Stewart to do what he does best in this election year, pine no more.
Last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jon took over the desk, albeit in a little more casual attire, and gave us all a beautiful 10 minutes of classic Daily Show with Jon Stewart goodness that picked apart Sean Hannity’s praise of Trump in comparison to Hannity’s criticisms of Obama.
Yes, that includes burns on Arby’s, making fun of the way Trump eats pizza, and a Rant done only the way Stewart can do it.
Please enjoy this gift from Jon Stewart that we can only hope that we get more of soon under his HBO deal.
Seth Meyers has hit a sweet spot in the Trump Comedy sub genre with this Donald Trump ban.
His latest message to Trump offers a sort-of-but-not-really olive branch with a show where he can pretend to play POTUS.
This may be a symbolic gesture at best, but we can only hope that only a few more shows follow suit here.
As a result of Donald Trump banning The Washington Post from covering his campaign events, Late Night host Seth Meyers is banning Trump from being a guest on Late Night.
Seth announced this during his “A Closer Look” segment that delved into Trump’s bigoted response to the horrific Orlando shooting this past weekend.
Again, this may be a small push back against Trump. However, if other shows do ban him and Trump won’t get to, let’s say, play a silly game on The Tonight Show and get less airtime, this will have been worth it.

Terry Crews is also on board to reprise his role as President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.
Since Donald Trump’s rise in this presidential election, plenty of people have made plenty of references to 2006′s Idiocracy from Mike Judge, who you probably now know from Silicon Valley on HBO, and Etan Cohen.
In case you forgot how much of a satirical cautionary tale that movie was, both Judge and Cohen, pending permission from Fox who owns the rights to the original movie, are ready to make new ads with President Camacho that will stick it to Donald Trump.
If they got to do it, it would be probably be another great piece of attire of this 2016 election. We just hope that it would be a bit of comedy that both those against Trump would enjoy as well as shutting up Trump supporters instead of making them dig their heels in deeper.
GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to flip flop and becoming more vague on his position about the unfortunate issue of gender and bathrooms. On Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, he evaded any sort of legitimate answer like any hollow politician would.
As this is the case and since every late night host is contractually obligated to poke fun at Trump, Stephen Colbert cleverly shows how all of America how this is not a problem and is a non-issue in literally one fell swoop on last night’s Late Show.
Trump vs Bernie’s second comedy special on Fusion, Trump vs. Bernie: Shout The Vote! featuring James Adomian’s Bernie Sanders and Anthony Atamanuik’s Donald Trump in a bunch of great sketches is now available for your viewing pleasure, especially since it’s on Fusion’s YouTube page.
You can actually watch both the debate special and the sketch special all without trying to find what channel Fusion is again.
Tonight, you can see the second part of Fusion’s Trump vs. Bernie specials, which will feature things like James Adomian’s Bernie Sanders trying to figure out a retirement plan.
Tune in to Trump vs. Bernie: Shout the Vote at 9PM on Fusion.
Anthony Atamanuik really went to Trump Tower in his full Donald Trump regalia and million dollar impression of Trump to see what would happen. The staff of Trump Tower have obviously been instructed on how to handle matters such as this.
Watch what went down here, then watch Trump vs. Bernie: Shout The Vote, the sketch special, on Wednesday at 9PM on Fusion.
Trump vs. Bernie has their second special coming up next week on Wednesday, May 11th at 9PM on Fusion.
Rather than a debate, it’ll be a plethora of fun, subversive sketches, one of which will be posing Anthony Atamanuik’s Trump as the hacktivist group Anonymous.
If that we’re true, the name “Anonymous” would be ironic, right?
Forget about all the town halls and sound bytes.
The debate between somewhat fictionalized versions of presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders as played by Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian are what you have been waiting to see.
The world will finally get to see what many of us already have enjoyed with the premiere of the Trump vs. Bernie: Debate for America special starting tonight at 9PM EST/6PM PST on Fusion.
Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian’s Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have a sketch special coming next month, but they also have a “Trump vs Bernie: Debate for America” special coming tomorrow to Fusion at 9PM.
Here’s the promo to get you ready for the only presidential debate that you want to see (and won’t have to worry about its overreaching effects on the country in the years to come).
Trump vs. Bernie continues to be some of the best comedy to come from this circus of an election in 2016.
Adding Eddie Pepitone in as a debate coach for Anthony Atamanuik’s masterful impression of Donald Trump is further proof of such a claim.
