has recently come under fire for his Senate impeachment rules,

and for his performance in the movie Doolittle.

But for more on this speedy Senate trial,

we turn to a man who is also known for finishing quickly,

You know, maybe, Trevor, but we need rules.

Without rules, civilization would collapse,

Like "stand to the right on the escalator"

or "keep quiet when you're in a movie theater."

And you know what I'm talking about, Trevor.

Why would I know what you're talking about?

Look, all I'm saying is, I think Black Panther already knew

someone was behind him-- he didn't need your help.

Well, I think I saved him. But let's move on.

Everything will be covered by Mitch Magazine, okay?

It... it's like O Magazine, but only for Mitch.

Now, if you'll excuse me, Trevor, I have to go.
