Impeaching can be a sleepy business. Just ask Senator James Risch, who was captured by a sketch artist casually dozing through Trump's trial during day two of the hearings.

"You know you've been sleeping for a long time when an artist has time to sketch your portrait," says Trevor Noah in the clip above. "That's sleep."

But Noah goes on to say that he understands whey the senators are struggling.

"They're sitting there for long hours — up to 12 hours late into the night, and they're only allowed to drink milk or water to stay energised. That's a tough situation. I mean, it was a tough situation, because luckily there's a new product out that could help them out."

The product in question? An energy drink called "Impeachmilk."

"It's the only milk fortified with caffeine, amphetamines, and just a little bit of cocaine," reads an enthusiastic VO. "So you can get your impeach on and fulfil your constitutional duties to the max."
