NBC’s Seth Meyers said “Technically, they were still laughing from when he said, ‘Hello I’m the president of the United States’.”

Jimmy Fallon, on NBC’s Tonight Show, joked with various smartphone filters applied to Trump’s face. He got less laughs than the president at the U.N. but got in one good punchline. “Trump hasn’t heard that much laughter since his night with Stormy Daniels.”
