Play of the Day: Negotiating the Wall Via Memes

The partial federal government shutdown is in its third week and late-night hosts are back on the air to joke about it. The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon joked about the length of the shutdown, saying "it's tough to say what longer: the government shutdown or your neighbor's Christmas decorations."

President Donald Trump said recently that his predecessors in the Oval Office told him that "that we should have" built a border wall, one of the main causes of the shutdown. In response, former President Jimmy Carter denied telling Trump that and even said he does not support the wall. Late Show's Stephen Colbert joked about the news, saying that Carter spends a lot of time building walls for Habitat for Humanity, so if anyone would want the wall, it would be him.
