 ABCIt's been a rough time in court for former president Donald Trump. Not only was he fined $9,000 and threatened with jail time for violating a gag order, but on Tuesday he was forced to listen-quietly-as porn star Stormy Daniels gave a long, in-depth testimony about her experience with him during their alleged 2006 affair.
Daniels' testimony was apparently considered so graphic that the judge criticized it for going into "too much detail," but Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, and Jordan Klepper didn't seem to mind; all throwing in plenty of jokes at Trump's expense during their opening monologues Tuesday night.
But none of them seemed to be having quite as much fun as Jimmy Kimmel.

The testimony offered by Stormy Daniels at Donald Trump's hush-money trial on Tuesday would have been more shocking if it hadn't sounded like a classic Penthouse male fantasy from the 1980s.
As Daniels told it, Trump left his post-partum wife and newborn son to attend a 2006 celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe with more than links on his mind. Through his bodyguard, Trump invited the enticing Daniels to dine with him at his actual penthouse suite. He greeted her in slinky pajamas. Suave move.
