Ronny Chieng, co-host of “The Daily Show,” laughed at MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell after being aired about attending Harvard University.
Chieng played a clip of MSNBC’s “Last Words with Lawrence O’Donnell” from Monday night. Meanwhile, O’Donnell warned his colleague Rachel Madow to a Harvard tie he wore for “One Night Only” for a solid segment of the school with President Donald Trump.
“Yeah, what’s worse than people who brag about going to Harvard is those who pretend to be embarrassed about going to Harvard,” Chien said.

Harvard came into the news after Trump announced he would freeze $2.2 billion in federal grants to schools after he refused to comply with the government’s demands to change campus policies.
During the transition from Maddow’s show to “The Last Word,” O’Donnell talks about the showdown, raising his tie.
“Good evening, Rachel. And you look really surprised because you’re wearing a tie you’ve never seen before. And this is the first time I’ve used this tie – I’ll never see it again.

O’Donnell continues, declaring that the Latin “Veritas” – for the truth – was found in each of the small symbols sewn onto the tie, and that he never wore the institutional symbol on his clothes, unless he was “Harley Davidson.”
Chien played clips of other people who are focusing on history attending Harvard University, commenting on the school’s feud with the Trump administration.
“Oh, my darkest secret? Don’t let anyone tell you. Please, I went to Harvard. Harvard! Harvard, Harvard!” the host said with a chuckle at each one.

He picked up O’Donnell in a sarcastic comment, saying, “My favorite guy is Lawrence O’Donnell. He’s really embarrassed to have to talk about this, meaning that it’s not something he’s always raised over the years.”
Chieng then played five different clips of O’Donnell, talking about being a Harvard graduate on MSNBC over the years, prompting laughter from viewers in the studio.

The comedian follows up with another joke, saying, “I know they’re trying to bring people back from the El Salvador Mega prison, but is there another room for coincidence?”
