Late night comedians seized on Vice President JD Vance's explanation that President Trump's controversial social media post depicting himself as a Christ-like figure was "a joke." The image, reportedly A.I.-generated, sparked widespread criticism before being deleted, with Vance claiming many people "weren't understanding his humor."

Comedians including Ronny Chieng on "The Daily Show" and Jimmy Kimmel mocked the administration's shifting explanations. Chieng quipped about "Jesus camp" humor and questioned whether the post was meant to be taken seriously, while Kimmel noted the confusion between Trump being portrayed as Jesus, a doctor, or simply a joke.

Stephen Colbert joined the fray, sarcastically suggesting the Bible is "full of" God humor. The comedians also targeted FEMA official Gregg Phillips' claim of teleporting to a Waffle House, with Colbert joking about "teleportation juice" and Chieng marveling at the bizarre story's drunken logic. The segment highlighted how political controversies continue to fuel late night comedy material.
