7. Colbert Boycott Announcement from Rachel's apologists in 5...4...3...2...

That clip was Hilarious! Now I want to watch her show even more to see her reaction. I'm sure she'll love it!

12. Perfect.

If I wasn't a regular TRMS watcher, I would have lost out on some great comedy.

2. Just saw it on the TV too.

3. Hee!

I loved it, and I suspect that Rachel will, too.

But I wish Stephen had worn black-rimmed glasses!

4. hilarious!!!!

I didn't want to laugh. I tried really hard not to, I swear it

5. Ok, that was pretty funny.

I didn't want to laugh either, but he pretty much nailed her style.

6. James Corden opened his show

by skewering Rachel too. He and his band leader were sitting at his desk insisting that they had breaking news, and then kept cutting to commercial. They would come back on air after a second or two with "Breaking News" across the screen and they had visibly aged each time, with white beards by the end, before they finally revealed that there was really nothing of significance in Trump's two-page tax return.

8. Nailed it! Got her presentation techniques right on target 🎯!

[Red Knight]

9. Brilliant!

While I like Rachel, she can be frustrating to watch sometimes. I keep thinking, "Get on with it!"

The Russian connections by themselves are fascinating and frightening. But that tax paper was really over-hyped. Save it for when there's something really big. I feel that she was used on some level.

Hopefully it will result in an increased call for more tax returns,.

11. Oh I agree

I love that she covers stories that no one else is touching, but the long drawn out story lines and redundancy can be very tedious to watch. Colbert really nailed it last night and I don't think it harms her at all. It just gives her more exposure.

10. I fail to understand why so many people are criticizing Rachel Maddow on the tax returns report

There were only two pages she had to work with, as a serious reporter she cannot speculate and then give republicans ammunition to call her "fake news". I think she laid out the questions for further investigation, such as "where did the money come from?", and now it is up to the appropriate agencies to start digging.

She also brought this guy (can't remember his name) who also laid out the suspicion that Donald himself might have sent the two pages, and I liked the fact that, as far as I can remember, he never called him 'president'. A few good things came out of that report, I didn't see it when Chris Hayes came in, but I will look for it.
