The 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Tell-All was supposed to be messy, but nobody expected Manon Berryman to walk in like she was there to dominate, not discuss.

The late-night comedy club isn’t what it used to be, but that didn’t stop Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers from lining up to play defense attorney for Jimmy Kimmel.
