During a phone call with the Irish prime minister yesterday, President Trump reportedly told an Irish journalist in the Oval Office that she had “a nice smile on her face.” Then he said, “Wait, now it’s gone.” – Seth Meyers

If you haven’t heard, there’s been another global cyber-attack. This time, hackers unleashed a virus called GoldenEye, which you may remember as the name of Pierce Brosnan’s first James Bond film. Which means it’s a pretty good virus, but your dad still thinks Sean Connery’s malware was better. – Stephen Colbert

The other day, a man in Minnesota got arrested, and handed the officer a Monopoly “Get out of jail free” card. Then when he got to prison, his cellmate handed him a card that said, “You won a beauty contest.” – Jimmy Fallon
