Whether poking fun at politicians or simply trying to make the best of a bad Donald Trump, the writers and comedians of late-night shows lightened the load for us this year. Hosts like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Kimmel appealed to our funny bones in the face of a ludicrous Republican Party, whose billionaire clown-king leader makes it a lot harder to be funny four to five days a week. Here are 13 notable moments from late night, in what may have been the longest year on record. . Seth Meyers tells you everything you need to know about Donald Trump, in 90 seconds One of the more frustrating things about Trump’s electoral success is how transparently deranged and corrupt he is.

MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins backup quarterback Tyler “Snoop” Huntley appeared more comfortable running the offense in Sunday’s 20-3 victory at the Cleveland Browns than he did running the offense in his other three starts this season.  Huntley seemed better executing the offense, coach Mike McDaniel seemed better calling plays that were more friendly to Huntley’s skills. Previously, it appeared the Dolphins’ backup quarterbacks — Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle and Huntley, in his previous starts — were playing in an offense designed for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and his pinpoint accurate passing skills. Huntley, the Hallandale High School product, can pinpoint the exact moment things began to fall into place. “I would say after my third start when I was just able to watch Tua come in during that Arizona game and I was just able to click by seeing how he can take control of the offense,” Huntley said. The Dolphins (8-8) hope Huntley’s comfort level carries over to this Sunday’s regular-season finale at the New York Jets (4-12), if, as expected, Huntley makes the start for Miami instead of Tagovailoa, who is battling a hip injury with a possible playoff berth on the line. “I know one thing, Snoop will get more reps than Tua this week as we go through the week,” McDaniel said Monday, “and we have to be prepared for both guys to play because I don’t really know exactly what it’s going to look like this next Sunday.” Against Cleveland it became apparent that many of the principles McDaniel utilizes for Tagovailoa can now be used for Huntley.

A horrifying mishap at Orlando’s holiday drone show that severely injured a boy is grounding New Year’s Eve displays from Texas to New York City and sparking further scrutiny into what went wrong. Drone shows planned for New York’s Central Park and Austin and Dallas, Texas, have been canceled. Those events planned to use drones from Sky Elements, the same Texas-based vendor that operated Orlando’s holiday show, according to organizers. Two Central Florida tourist spots also halted drone shows in recent days as Orlando’s botched event put the safety of such synchronized spectacles into question.
