Late-night hosts have fun imagining Zoom’s Biden and Putin failing their high-stakes conversation in Ukraine

“President Biden” hold a video conference with Vladimir Putin to warn him not to invade Ukraine,” Trevor Noah said on Tuesday Daily program. “And video chatting is a tricky way for both of these people to do diplomacy, I mean especially because even in person, Biden talks as if he has a poor connection.” He did so and joked that Putin might reset the White House servers to improve connectivity.

The Late Show some classic Zooms fail to reproduce the Biden-Putin conversation.

Hey, “the world may be on the verge of war between two nuclear-armed powers,” so a de-escalated conversation about Ukraine between Putin and Biden “makes sense,” Stephen Colbert insisted. The Late Show. “The only way to deal with a delicate situation that requires clear communication is two old men on a Zoom.”

“Now, if you’re worried these rising tensions with Russia will lead to World War III with Russia, don’t be ridiculous,” Colbert said. “It will be World War III with China. We had a preview yesterday” with diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in Beijing. And if that’s not enough “dark and doom”, he said, a giant black box in Australia will soon document humanity’s demise to climate catastrophe.

“Talking about disaster,” Representative Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) Is quit the National Assembly became the CEO of former President Donald Trump’s social media company, despite any related experience — except “milking the leather stuff,” Colbert said. “Now, often when a former president appoints a completely incompetent person to an important position, he has good reason: they are related to him. the only reason Nunes got this gig is because Jared, Don Jr., and Eric all turned it down.”

The Biden-Putin call lasted two hours “and like most two-hour meetings on Zoom, Putin said: ‘This could be email,'” Jimmy Fallon joked. Tonight’s show. “On the bright side, this is the first time Putin has been able to see Biden on camera – when Biden actually knew he was on camera.”

Meanwhile, “China’s lunar rover has detected a mysterious cuboid on the lunar surface and everyone online is trying to figure out what it is,” Fallon said. “If anyone knows the truth, it’s random people on the internet – yes, the same internet can’t figure out the color of the dress.”
