Late-night hosts took aim at former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who resigned after just 24 days on the job.

On The Daily Show, Trevor Noah joked about Flynn’s assertion that he wasn’t aware that his calls with Russia would have been recorded.

“He didn’t know that the US government routinely taps calls to the Russians, which is stupid,” he said. “That’s the plot of every spy movie: America taps Russia’s calls. Everyone should know that.”

He also ridiculed Flynn’s excuse for not conveying all of the information to Mike Pence: the “fast pace” of the job.

“That’s not a valid excuse,” he said. “That just sounds like you’re trying to tell someone a story and you’re both on opposite trains, and that’s why you couldn’t tell them the story.”

On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert took pleasure in the overwhelmingly poor start to the ex-reality TV star’s presidency. “By now I’m sure you’ve all heard the news: the Trump administration is going great,” he said.
