In Florida, the streets are being flooded with ecstasy pills that are shaped like Donald Trump. Sources say it's the first time Donald Trump has ever caused a woman to feel ecstasy.

 

President Trump is seriously considering having the United States buy Greenland -- Greenland is a territory of Denmark, and the Danish prime minister said Greenland is not for sale, but if there's anything I've learned from watching hundreds of hours of "Property Brothers," it's that saying "It's not for sale" is the classic opening gambit.

 

President Trump's former press secretary Sean Spicer has been cast in "Dancing with the Stars" -- or, as the show is now called, "Dancing."

The Late Late Show with James Corden

A university in South Africa has created an alternative, more eco-friendly form of ice cream that is made out of -- brace yourselves -- maggots. Now, that sounds disgusting, but only because it's disgusting.

More than 50% of Americans have used swimming pools as an alternative to showering. I'm not American — don't look at me! This is on you guys. I'm not one of you! Swimming pools aren't for getting clean. A swimming pool has only two purposes: swimming and peeing.

 

Nearly one-third of millennials say they don't have enough money to go on dates. It's a great excuse I wish I had in my teens.

 

Jimmy Kimmel Live

Late Night With Seth Meyers

Lawmakers in New York have introduced legislation that would prohibit companies from charging different prices for similar men's and women's products like shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Said men, "Wait, that's not all one thing?"

According to a new poll, one in five Russians say they would like to leave their country if given the opportunity. Said Putin, "Fine. We'll give you a two-minute head start."
