Good morning listener nationwide. Is it a good morning? I’m live from the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse in New York City for the Trump hush money trial of the former president. Joining me is my late mother Maggie Duncan.

MAGGIE DUNCAN

Tell everyone you love me, Jerry.

JERRY

Okay, Mother. I love you.

MAGGIE

That’s so sweet.

JERRY

Like an irritating pimple on my ass.

MAGGIE

Thank you, honey.

JERRY

Witnesses are entering the courtroom. Let’s see if we can get their comments.

MAGGIE

There’s the Trumpster.

MAGGIE

(shouts) President Trump! President Trump! Maggie Duncan from The Jerry Duncan Show.

DONALD TRUMP

The radical left is destroying our cities and colleges. Satan is on the loose. The trial is rigged.

MAGGIE

Polls say you’re trailing Biden. That’s not good news for you.

TRUMP

Poles can be wrong. For example, the Poles thought they were so smart when they installed screen doors  on submarines to keep out the fish. Didn’t work out so well.

JERRY

Americans are worried you won’t accept the elections results in November. Is it true?

TRUMP

I will if I win. A mail-in ballot is voter fraud. Illegals, prisoners, dead people and hamsters are on the voter rolls.

JERRY

This is unfounded based on evidence. The peaceful transfer of power is the core of American democracy.

TRUMP

My friend Vladimir Putin said it doesn’t work. I even got a second opinion from Kim Jong-un.  Why would they lie?

TRUMP

Gotta go. Need to catch up with my sleep in the courtroom. When life gives you lemons, squeeze them in people’s eyes.

JERRY

Look. It’s porn star Stormy Daniels.

STORMY DANIELS

Hello, Jerry.

JERRY

Are you nervous?

STORMY

Oh, yes. No legal representation for me. I used to have attorney Michael Avenatti, but he had to “pull out.”

MAGGIE

Avenatti’s a convicted felon. Stole your money.

STORMY

Yeah. He’s the real whore.

She blows a kiss.

MAGGIE

Another witness. They brought back former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker to testify.

MAGGIE

Jerry. Is he any relation to Woody Woodpecker?

JERRY

You don’t know anything about Pecker.

MAGGIE

I know your father had one.

JERRY

Here’s the king of the castle. The presiding judge Juan Merchan. Can you say a few words?

JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN

Sure. I’m not the one with a gag order.

JERRY

Always wondered. What’s the difference between a good lawyer and a great lawyer?

MERCHAN

A good lawyer knows the law. A great lawyer knows me. Look. I run an orderly courtroom. No threats or intimidation allowed by the defendant.

JERRY

You referring to Trump?

MERCHAN

Is he the man with the orange face?

JERRY

You got it.

JERRY

Tell me. What’s the toughest decision you made as a judge?

MERCHAN

It happened last year. A man was on trial for cannibalism. I asked him what he had to say for himself. He replied, “If you are what you eat, then I am the real victim here.” The case was dismissed.

JERRY

Thank you, Judge.

Merchan struts off.

MERCHAN

Here come the judge. Here come the judge.

JERRY

I’d like to thank my mother Maggie Duncan.

MAGGIE

One more time, say you love me.

JERRY

I…I…

MAGGIE

Say it already!

JERRY

I love you, because you’re strong and powerful. You don’t need my help to open jars.

MAGGIE

My son the comedian.
