It's April 1st. Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI, and packed with headlines. Stephen Colbert kicked off his late show monologue by diving into the massive No Kings protests sweeping the globe against President Trump. These demonstrations hit big cities like New York, Chicago, San Diego, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Boston, with crowds chanting against authoritarian vibes and showing off wild creative props. He spotlighted one stand-up balloon R-piece, mocking Trump in a hilarious way, praising its top-notch craftsmanship that had everyone cracking up. Colbert imagined protesters explaining their resistance to grandkids one day, turning the whole thing into a nod to patriotic ingenuity. The crowd lost it during his rift, erupting in the chance of Barack Obama's old, yes we can, slogan from his campaign days. Colbert rolled with it for a beat, joking that it captured the spear perfectly before staring back to the script. He kept the laughs coming with protest signs roasting Trump, like jabs at his ego and

ratings, plus a quip about a No Kings march in London awkwardly. Sparing King Charles. Colbert also called out Trump's confusing signals on the Iran situation, comparing it to drama from a messy friend and a bad relationship. Protests like these mix sharp satire with real pushback, keeping late-night TV as a pulse on the political beat while firing up audiences everywhere.
