Overheard backstage right after the first Clinton-Trump debate
“Am I crazy, or is Bill hitting on Melania?”
“How many emails does Hillary send anyway?”
“No, we knew he’d have the microphone tested. So we sprayed the chemicals on his podium.”
“We got a report about a killer clown luring children with money in this building.”
“Hey, did you hear? Security had to detain Trump’s kid who was getting ready to streak!”
“Was that Rosie O’Donnell in the front row?”
“Do you think Putin will approve?”
“A red pantsuit for this debate, a white one for the second, and a blue one for the third!”
“Ivanka in pink, Chelsea in navy blue, does that mean anything?”
“I’ve got the best coke. It’s hyuge. It’s the coke that other coke wants to be.” Sniffffffffffffff
“I’ve gotta admit, Hillary’s hands looked bigger than mine. They were HYOOOGE!”
“Did Lester Holt ever come back from the bathroom?”

Shirley Povich, sportswriter and father of Maury: Shirley Povich - Wikipedia
The popularity of the novel Shirley by Charlotte Bronte led to Shirley’s becoming a woman’s name. The title character was given the name that her father had intended to give a son. Before the publication of the novel, Shirley was a last name and an uncommon - but distinctly male - first name and an unusual name for a woman.
