There once was an actor who cried,
It’s a miracle,” nobody died!”
On the set of a film,
From the early 2000s, it’s prim,
But luckily all were fine, certified.
There once was a “Late Night” host so bright,
Who faced a critic’s harsh spotlight,
But he took it in stride,
With humor and pride,
And turned the critique into a delight.
There once was a nominee, they said,
Deserving of support and warm lead,
Democratic in name,
In the political game,
With victory ahead, on this he fed.
There once was a show host quite bold,
Who called out supporters who told,
The president’s abuse of power,
He said in an hour,
Their arguments just seem to be old.
There once was a chopper so grand,
Near the White House it took off and ran,
An incident, they say,
Took place that fine day,
In the sky above Washington’s land.
There once was a host of late night
Who let Trump’s demands take flight
For his attorney general he spoke
On the “Tonight Show” he awoke
To the chaos of the president’s might
There once was a press secretary
Whose words were met with great fury
Critics corrected with glee
Her hot takes they did not agree
Leaving her feeling quite sorry
There once was a Late Show divine,
Audience erupted at the line,
With laughter and cheer,
They clapped and they jeer,
For Colbert, their laughter did shine.
There once was a letter so grand,
Saying this moment was big and unplanned,
Coordinated by the ACLU,
They knew there was much to pursue,
In an industry that needed a hand.
There once was a company named Kimmel
Who made a decision with a whistle
After conversations so thoughtful
Their announcement was artful
In the end, it was all so simple
