* In August 2017, in the wake of the firing/resignations of several Trump administration officials -- Sean Spicer, Reince Priebus, Anthony Scaramucci, Steve Bannon, and Sebastian Gorka -- in just a matter of weeks, Bill joked that "the bodies [were] really piling up outside the White House".

* One interview with Chris Christie had Bill show some contrition for all the fat jokes he’s made about him. Christie, clearly aware of them, shrugs it off to his credit, and lists a joke he thought was ActuallyPrettyFunny.
-->'''Christie:''' (quoting) “Millions of chicken wings were consumed this Super Bowl Sunday, and most of them at Chris Christie’s house.”
* Speaking of, Bill’s monologue about his hatred of comic books and comic book movies was pretty widely panned, he does pivot to a funny joke when he describes one of the superpowers of Trump, aka the “Orange Sphincter”.
-->'''Bill:''' Like Aquaman, the Orange Sphincter can communicate with whales (''shows a picture of Trump with [[YouAreFat Chris Christie]]'').

* In July 2017, Bill interviewed one of the leaders of Breitbart. As the website is known for being what Steve Bannon himself called "the platform of the alt-right (cough cough Neo-Nazis)" and Bill's live audience generally skews liberal, Bill takes a moment to quickly ask his audience to "be nice" like a parent asking their child to be nice to a relative they hate at a family gathering.

* In 2013, Bill jokingly offered Donald Trump $5 million if he could produce his birth certificate and prove that he is not the offspring of a woman and an orangutan. Trump responded with a lawsuit citing defamation and demanded an apology, which Bill laughed off until Trump finally backed off. During the 2016 election, Bill has occasionally brought up the story. In May 2016, once Bill put up a picture comparing Trump to an orangutan, the audience lost its shit. In October 2016, Bill brought up the story again, and this time put it as asking Trump to prove that "his mother did not, in fact, ''fuck an ape''."

Bill brought it up again in August 2017 to just as many jeers as he clarified he wanted Trump to prove he wasn't half-orangutan.

* March 25, 2016: Since the 2016 Republican presidential field has practically been narrowed down to the two most despised candidates, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, [[SadisticChoice Bill has to choose who he'd rather see as president]]. After much deliberation ("Trump is like Ebola: he’ll violently kill you right away. Cruz is like Zika: we won’t see the damage until future generations.") he picks... [[spoiler:Cruz]], rinsing his mouth with a large bottle marked "BLEACH" after his decision.
