In an ode to their hit Broadway musical, The Producers, Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane reprised their roles as Leo Bloom and Max Bialystock for a skit on Jimmy Kimmel’s post-Oscars special to try and figure it out.

As Bialystock explains, they need “A real trainwreck. A schmuck. A putz. A Grade-A, world-class, gold-plated nincompoop.”
After describing their perfect candidate, A TV announcer introduces an old clip of Donald Trump sitting at a desk in an office saying, “Many people have been asking about my desk and the fact that I have so many papers on my desk.”
Flash forward to the pair sitting at a shoeshine stand wondering how they failed to fail while guiding Trump’s candidacy.

“Yes,” says a shoeshine boy played by Jimmy Kimmel.
