Jimmy Kimmel, host of Jimmy Kimmel Live, compared Trump’s behavior during the visit to that of a child showing a guest his things. He joked that Trump was leading Xi Jinping around, showing him the gold decor on the walls and the unfinished ballroom.

Kimmel also said that Xi Jinping announced his intention to give the United States two giant pandas. The comedian joked that Trump might eat them. Jimmy Fallon, host of The Tonight Show, jokingly added two Big Macs, a large serving of French fries, and Diet Coke to the state dinner menu.

The Daily Show host Desi Lydic joked about Trump personally meeting Xi Jinping at the airport. She also commented on a video in which Trump flinched during the military flyover, although, according to her, he himself ordered it to take place.
