President Trump’s feud with Senator Bob Corker continued on Tuesday, when Mr. Trump tweeted to suggest that Mr. Corker, a Republican, had been tricked by The New York Times into saying disparaging things about the president. On “The Late Late Show,” James Corden took aim at Mr. Trump from a variety of angles.

Mr. Corden also addressed another internecine fight that’s occupying Mr. Trump’s time.

The New Yorker on Tuesday published an unsparing investigation into the film producer Harvey Weinstein’s conduct with female actors and models, including accusations that he raped multiple women. But the late-night shows seemed reluctant to deal with the reports, and only some addressed them at all. Even those shows that did failed to spend much time on the revelations or mention the most unsettling accusations.

Stephen Colbert discussed Elon Musk’s suggestions that artificial intelligence could pose a greater threat to humanity than North Korea’s nuclear program. Mark Zuckerberg had called that claim “pretty irresponsible,” leading Mr. Musk to tweet a spicy, dismissive response.

“Porg has sex for money? What are you talking about?”

The former Bears coach Mike Ditka is not a fan of N.F.L. players’ national anthem protests. Amber Ruffin is not a fan of him.

Marc Maron, the comedian turned prodigious podcast host, will chat with Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday night.

The Harvey Weinstein allegations are rippling beyond Mr. Weinstein himself: Ben Affleck is now being accused of failing to act on information he had about Mr. Weinstein’s sexually abusive conduct.
