The word "impeachment" has been bandied around quite a bit over the past two years, but now it looks like it may actually be happening. On Tuesday, in response to Trump's ongoing Ukraine scandal, Nancy Pelosi announced that an impeachment inquiry would be launched by the Democrats — prompting a flurry of jokes and impersonations from various late night hosts.

"After two years of avoiding it, Trump may finally face articles of impeachment — which believe me, he is not happy about," says Trevor Noah in the Daily Show clip above. "It's impeachment, which Trump hates, plus articles, which he hates even more."

What follows is a breakdown of exactly how this situation came about, in a new segment Noah calls "The Full Story".
