Comedian Jimmy Kimmel compared the request to federal employees to report their top five accomplishments during the previous workweek to being run by BuzzFeed, calling it “like the government is being run by BuzzFeed”. The email was sent by Elon Musk, sparking confusion and frustration among workers.
FBI Director Kash Patel advised F.B.I. staff to pause responses, while Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. jokingly suggested “free roadkill in the break room” as a distraction. Meanwhile, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard told personnel not to respond, indicating a lack of clarity from Trump administration bosses.
Jimmy Kimmel mocked the situation, suggesting that if Elon Musk walked into an office and announced plans to cut jobs, everyone would confront him. In a separate incident, NBC asked late-night host Jimmy Fallon about his accomplishments for the previous week, prompting him to jokingly respond with a string of “your mom”s.
Additionally, comedian Stephen Colbert poked fun at Facebook’s new posting policies on “Last Week Tonight”. On Tuesday night, Wendi McLendon-Covey will interview Desi Lydic on “The Daily Show”.
