“It’s always like this, people: at some point in life, you have to kill the monster you’re creating,” the Daily Show host joked. “Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, Obi Wan and Anakin, their parents and children. “But then again, Oprah going for Fetterman must have broken Dr Oz’s heart. Luckily, he has the perfect cure for that,” Noah joked, referring to Oz’s long history of pseudoscience. Taking the broad view of the midterms, Noah echoed the concern of a red wave. “Democrats are nervous right now because they’ve got a lot stacked against them in this election,” he explained. “Inflation is high, crime is on the rise, pickleball is taking over for some reason, and it’s all sending Democrats into panic mode.” He pointed to Biden’s campaign in New York, of all states, where Gov. Kathy Hotchul is running an unexpectedly tight race against state Rep. Lee Zeldin. “That’s how bleak the Democrats are looking right now: trying to save a governor’s race in New York,” Noah said. “Which is crazy! New York is supposed to be a given for the Democrats. That’s like having to beg your stalker to like one of your Instagram posts – ‘Come on, man, my feet are in this one!’”
Stephen Colbert
On the Late Show, Stephen Colbert also poked fun at Dr Oz, who urged fans on Saturday to “contact 10 people” on Sunday “before the Steelers game.” “Okay, one problem: the Steelers didn’t play on Sunday,” Colbert laughed. “Somewhat important in Pennsylvania. This is a big mistake. But then again, maybe he was just confusing the Steelers with his hometown team, the Newark Airports? Jersey…turns?’ Even more troubling to Oz was Oprah’s endorsement of his opponent: “If I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have already voted for John Fetterman for a number of reasons.” “And one of those reasons is that Dr. Oz also starts sentences with ‘if I lived in Pennsylvania,’” Colbert joked. Colbert also touched on the turbulent times for Twitter under new owner Elon Musk, who fired half of Twitter’s staff over the weekend. Tesla’s CEO has also developed a plan to make up for lost revenue by charging $8 a month for a blue checkmark. “Now that seems pretty steep for something that’s always been free, but it’s a value,” Colbert said. “Not only would you get a blue checkmark, but it would verify that you’re dumb enough to give $8 to the richest man who ever lived.”
Seth Meyers
On Late Night, Seth Meyers warned that the real reason Republicans want power is “to rig future elections and install permanent one-party rule. And I’m not the only one saying that. Republicans say that. They say it publicly, openly for everyone to hear.” Get our weekly pop culture email delivered free to your inbox every Friday Privacy Notice: Newsletters may contain information about charities, online advertising and content sponsored by external parties.

He pointed to Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels, who promised that Republicans would “never lose another election in Wisconsin after I’m elected governor.” “This wasn’t even a secret confession caught on hidden camera at a private event,” Meyers marveled. “He said it at a public campaign stop. Back in the day, when you caught politicians confessing to something this scandalous, it was in grainy black and white hotel security camera footage. Now they just shout it into a microphone like Michael Buffer before a boxing match.” Nevada Secretary of State candidate Jim Marchand, a re-election denier, also promised at a campaign event with Donald Trump that his election would be a step to “fix the whole country and President Trump will be president again in 2024! ». “Once again, they’re just admitting their plans to steal the 2024 election in advance,” Meyers said.
Jimmy Kimmel
And in Los Angeles, Jimmy Kimmel responded to a comment by Trump over the weekend that his show was “dead.” “Our show is so dead, he’s going to bury it next to his ex-wife on one of the golf courses,” Kimmel joked. “You know what’s dead? All those endangered animals your chinless shot. Do you know what is dead? The look in your wife’s eyes when you beg her for sex on your birthday.” During the same rally, Trump also took a shot at a potential 2024 Republican opponent, Florida Gov. Ron DeSandis, calling him “Ron DeSantimonius.” “He lost some speed on his fastball nickname, you know?” Kimmel said. “In the old days it would be something like Smelly Ron and we’d all go to it together.” Kimmel then interrupted his wife Molly, who appeared with literal alarm bells to urge people to vote on abortion rights, which have disappeared or are at risk in 26 states. “The only person who should make a potentially life-saving decision about a woman and her body is the woman herself,” he said. “I’m not out here with this stupid alarm asking you to love abortion. I ask that you love women enough, trust women enough, make their own difficult decisions. And let the people vote for this to happen tomorrow.”
