TGIF. It’s been a long week but Friday is finally here. Tomorrow is a day to enjoy as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot. (I’m pretty sure Robin is getting up at 4am EST to tune in to the spectacle on NBC.)

This news story has all the makings of a Hallmark holiday princess movie: an American Princess-to-be, a bad boy Prince, a family out to sabotage the romance, villains (the British tabloids) all around them, and perhaps a fairy-tale ending. In a surprise move, Prince Charles will walk Meghan Markle down the aisle. The royal wedding had been clouded by unpleasant tabloid fodder about the bride’s father staging photos and then being hospitalized. But in one gallant move, the heir to the British throne saves the day. The monarchy has had its share of ups and downs. At times seen as out of touch. But not tomorrow at least. Grab a pint and some scones and enjoy the weekend.

Best of late night.

Who knew this White House had a sense of humor?! Give credit where credit is due and enjoy their latest tweet. Is it Yanny or Laurel?

“Today marks the one-year anniversary of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, and this morning Donald Trump marked the occasion by tweeting. When Melania saw the tweet, she was like, ‘Oh, so you are capable of remembering anniversaries?’”
–James Corden

“The White House announced today that President Trump would donate his first quarter’s salary to the Department of Veterans Affairs. It’s just a little less money than he’s given to veterans of his affairs.”
–Seth Meyers
