LATE LAUGHS

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

As a performer, there are three things you don’t want to follow: animals, children or a fascist takeover of your country — “Cabaret” aside.

[With regard to] Dr. Oz, losing this [election] is a huge blow for the far right of Pennsylvania, which in Oz’s case is New Jersey.

Nevada officials are still receiving mail-in ballots [as of Nov. 9], which, by state law, can be counted if they arrive as late as Saturday. But everybody knows time passes quickly in Vegas; you go to kill 10 minutes at the blackjack table and the next thing you know it’s two weeks later and you’re married to a French-Canadian contortionist from Cirque du Soleil.

As of this morning [Nov. 9], neither candidate [Herschel Walker nor Raphael Warnock] had 50% of the vote, so by Georgia law, the race will go to a runoff. A lucky break for Herschel because, according to many women and children, he’s got a lot of experience running off.

For both parties, it [the election] wasn’t great, but also not terrible. It was the political equivalent of eating at TGI Friday’s.

Apparently [Donald] Trump blamed Melania for convincing him to back Dr. Oz, saying that it wasn’t her “best decision.” Then Melania was like, “Well, it certainly wasn’t my worst.”

A man in the U.K. was just arrested for allegedly throwing eggs at King Charles. Yup, some of the eggs shattered on the ground, and, this is tragic, but it’s been reported that all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put them back together again.

Yesterday [Nov. 8], of course, was a very important day in American history: it was Tara Reid’s 47th birthday. It was also Election Day. I feel like everyone is exhausted. This is the first election where people don’t even have the energy to threaten to move to Canada. We just wanna go to sleep.

We might not have the [election] results from Nevada until the weekend, which is crazy. Nevada: this is a state where you’ve got slot machines, you’ve got poker machines, you’ve got keno, you’ve got bingo, you go into a sports book [and] they’re tallying up the odds for every game, every horse race, every jai alai match in the world. All of those scores and odds somehow appear on a giant video board in real time — and it takes them five days to count a pile of cardboard.

Late Night With Seth Meyers

Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz conceded yesterday in a phone call to Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. Fetterman knew it was him because it was not a Pennsylvania number.

A T-Rex dinosaur skull will go up for auction next month and is expected to sell for 20 million of Nic Cage’s dollars.

A professional archer in Denmark recently broke a Guinness World Record by shooting seven arrows through a keyhole. Great for him, terrible for his nosey neighbor.

The Late Late Show with James Corden

Sources say Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign is quietly preparing for a launch after next week’s midterms. That’s Donald Trump for you: the paragon of quiet. Like the footsteps of a kitten on a cloud of cotton candy.

Election day is fast approaching, and President Biden has been crisscrossing the country making final pushes for Democratic candidates. Tomorrow he will be in California ... [following his] visits to New Mexico and Florida, which actually makes me wonder if he’s even campaigning at all or is he just following Jimmy Buffet on tour.
