CBS’s Stephen Colbert and NBC’s Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers all spent a part of their Tuesday reveals falsely claiming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis seeks to ban the instructing of historical past within the state as they reacted to completely different elements of the DeSantis-driven information cycle.

On The Late Present, Colbert started along with his one in all traditional satirical sketches. This one was based mostly on Disney dropping its particular standing and included a narrator declaring, “We right here at Disney Parks have obtained our marching orders and are thrilled to announce updates to our newly dewoke-ified magical kingdom. Go to the Corridor of Presidents which can not embody elements of American historical past Ron’s supporters do not wish to speak about.”

An animatronic Abraham Lincoln was then proven telling guests, “I am Abraham Lincoln. I established the Division of Agriculture. That is it.”

Earlier than anybody may level out that instructing about slavery just isn’t solely not banned in Florida, it’s required, the narrator continued, “And go to the Animal Kingdom the place company can now hunt. And that is not all. To make it overtly obvious which gender every of our park characters is, we ‘ve up to date their costumes with reasonable genitalia. Plus, we do not speak about Bruno as a result of he was compelled onto a aircraft and shipped off to Martha’s Winery.”

After a parody of “It’s a Small World,” that included the choir singing, “It’s a straight world in spite of everything. It’s fallacious to observe RuPaul,” the narrator concluded, “DeSantis World. It is supercalifragilisticexpiali-fascist.”

Later within the present, Colbert would name DeSantis a “huge, dumb a-hole” and repeatedly get the title of his new guide fallacious in an try to mock its title for being boring.

Talking of DeSantis’s guide, over at The Tonight Present, the usually mild-mannered Fallon reported, “Some political information. Right now, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis launched his autobiography, The Braveness to be Free. The guide is already a quantity one bestseller, particularly in Florida, the place it is actually the one guide on the shelf. It is the one factor right here. Within the guide, DeSantis admits that he truly received married at Disney World. Critically. That is like discovering out Bernie Sanders received married in Jeff Bezos’ yard. It is like, come on.”

The previous level is, once more, not true and the latter level just isn’t a dunk as Disney modified within the time since DeSantis received married.

Lastly, over at Late Night time, Meyers was having his “Jokes Seth Can’t Inform” phase the place he units up the joke and present writers Amber Ruffin and Jenny Hagel ship the punchline that normally pokes enjoyable at stereotypes about black folks and lesbians respectively.

These jokes normally don’t have anything to with politics, however the duo of Meyers and Ruffin couldn’t resist getting in a shot at DeSantis as Meyers set the desk, “February is black historical past month—” which led Ruffin to say, “Which implies in Florida, at present it is January 59th. Hey, however actually when you dwell in Florida and also you wish to learn extra about Black Historical past Month, too unhealthy.”  

The three hosts might declare it these are simply jokes, however misinformation in joke type remains to be misinformation they usually can’t have it each methods as they’re continually condemning others for spreading misinformation.

All three reveals had been sponsored by Liberty Mutual.

Listed here are transcripts for the February 28-taped reveals:
