Star-studded lineup

Obama traveled with Biden on Air Force One from Washington to New York earlier in the day. They joined Clinton in the afternoon for a recording of the podcast SmartLess, hosted by actors Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett.

The fundraiser was a star-studded affair. In addition to Colbert, actress Mindy Kaling, star of “The Office” and “The Mindy Project,” hosted the program, which featured musical guests Lizzo, Queen Latifah, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and first lady Jill Biden also delivered remarks.

Lizzo performed her hit song “About Damn Time.” Queen Latifah sang “U.N.I.T.Y.” Kaling joked that she is getting older but compared with Biden, Obama and Clinton, she looks like a “cast member on ‘Euphoria,’” referring to the HBO series.

“The reason we are here is to reelect President Joe Biden,” Kaling said.

“We got three presidents in the house. That sounds like a p-p-p-party to me!” Lizzo said.
