“At that point, Trump squeezed his Diet Coke hand so hard it turned into a diamond.” — JIMMY FALLON
“That was ice-cold. And what made it even more devastating was that Michelle Obama wasn’t angry, she wasn’t yelling, she just stated Trump’s complete failure as a president as an obvious fact.

“Former first lady Michelle Obama said President Trump is, quote, ‘the wrong president for our country.’ That’s putting it mildly, like it’s just a bad match or something. ‘You’re not a good president for us but there are plenty of countries out there for you.

“That’s right, everyone is saying the former first lady stole the night. I’m actually worried the speech might have backfired for Biden, because right after, everyone with a ballot wrote in Michelle Obama.” — JIMMY FALLON
“It would suck to get dumped by Michelle Obama. Can you imagine? ‘You were in over your head; you cannot deal with this. It is what it is.’” — JAMES CORDEN

“There’s no bigger champion for women than the man who spent his morning rage-tweeting about Michelle Obama.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Yep, Trump pardoned Susan B. Anthony, then he complained that she didn’t thank him.” — JIMMY FALLON
