Friends, it has happened again: a well-known celebrity has been pranked on Ellen.

This time, the victim was Ricky Gervais, who, interestingly, had just finished explaining how he used to think it was very funny that Donald Trump was running for president.

"It was fun to start with," the comedian said. "I was excited."

Shortly after this remark, a Trump impersonator burst from a nearby box, startling and confusing Gervais.

"What was that?" he said, clearly disturbed.

It's as much poetic justice as we can hope for in these troubling times.
