    The 2024 presidential election is over and late night hosts are here to deal with the aftermath.

    After former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to become the 47th president of the United States, comedians tried to comfort viewers during their shows Wednesday night as they shared their disappointment over the Republican candidate’s victory. They also emphasized their commitment to keep smiling during what they characterized as a bleak time for America.

    Jimmy Kimmel, who has frequently traded blows with Trump on social media, opened his show with a sketch of him frantically packing up his office.

    “I’m leaving the country,” he announces. ‘I can’t stay here for another four years. Who knows what he’ll do? … He said he has a list of enemies. You think I’m not on that list?’

    After his sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, convinced him to stay in the segment (before declaring he was leaving to go “back to Mexico”), Kimmel began his monologue by joking about Trump winning the election after falsely claiming he lost in 2020 due to widespread voter fraud.

    “I don’t think this election was rigged,” he said. “That’s weird, right? I mean, he said there would be rigging. He said there would be rigging while people were standing in line to vote! Isn’t it remarkable that the solution wasn’t there this time? The Democrats cheated, this time we chose not to, I think.”

    Comparing Trump to Emperor Palpatine from the ‘Star Wars’ series, who returned from apparent death in ‘The Rise of Skywalker’, the comedian joked: ‘Donald Trump is like the Emperor from ‘Star Wars.’ He’s old, he’s bad and he keeps coming back without any reasonable explanation.”

    Kimmel told viewers his “kids were very upset” by Trump’s victory, and he got choked up as he described Tuesday as a “terrible night.”

    “It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrants who let this country go, for healthcare, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for freedom of speech,” she said. he. . “It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who depend on social security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for truth, democracy and decency.”

    “It was a bad night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what? It was also a bad night for everyone who voted for him. You just don’t realize it yet.”

    But Kimmel took solace in the fact that “we’ve been through this before” during Trump’s first term. “And yes, this time it will probably be worse, maybe a lot worse. But I also think we might look back and realize that in the long run, this is what we needed to wake us up. Maybe the People Who care so much, have to find out how little he cares for them.”

    He also joked about the idea that Trump will jail him and his fellow anchors after taking office. “My only request to President-elect Trump is that I can share a prison cell with Taylor Swift.”

    Stephen Colbert: ‘It’s really hard to see the positive side of this’

    On CBS, Stephen Colbert opened “The Late Show” with a serious message delivered to camera from behind his desk. “If you watch this show regularly, I don’t think you’re doing too well,” the comedian said before explaining that he’s grateful to host the show because “in times like these, what do we most want to be? Not alone.”

    In his monologue, Colbert said the “deep shock and sense of loss are enormous” after Trump’s victory and concluded that the president-elect’s supporters “don’t care that much about democracy.”

    “Who knows what the next four years will be like?” he said. “What we do know is that we will be ruled by a monstrous child surrounded by cowards and crooks, and my brain continues to pump out an unlimited amount of ramifications. It’s really hard to see a positive side to this.”

    “This is tough,” he continued. “The last time Trump won, it felt like a grotesque fluke. This time America knew exactly what they were getting, and yet they went hard for him.”

    Like Kimmel, the “Late Show” host did find a positive side: the fact that “we know what’s coming” in a second Trump term because he has already been president.

    “It’s like the first time you attend your child’s spring concert, no one can prepare you for 25 second graders playing the recorder,” he joked. ‘But your next child, you are ready. You packed earplugs. No amount of ‘Frère Jacques’ can break you.”

    Colbert concluded by jokingly asking, “Can we just tell Jimmy Carter she won?” The 39th president voted for Harris at age 100 after telling his family he wanted to live long enough to do so.

    “And can Jimmy Carter tell me she won?” he added.

    Seth Meyers: ‘The fight for justice does not end with one election’

    Seth Meyers started off “Late Night” by sarcastically pretending that the fact that he would be voting for Harris would be a surprising revelation.

    “I don’t think Donald Trump is a good person,” he said. ‘I would even go so far as to say he is a bad person. In my defense, I’m just basing that on everything I’ve ever been taught about what makes someone good or bad.”

    “But this is something I accept: half the country thinks he’s a good person, or they don’t care that he’s not because they think he’s a good president,” he continued. “And that’s why he becomes our president again. That’s how democracy works in America, a country that is a privilege to live in, even on a morning like today.”

    During a “Closer Look” segment, Meyers described Trump’s first term as a “nightmare that plunged the nation into a nonstop disaster and caused massive suffering for millions of Americans” and who was scrambling to get through his second term: “they will to give me the drugs they give Trump.”

    “We are about to step over the abyss into truly uncharted territory,” he added. “You only have to look back at Trump’s first term to get an idea of ​​how dangerous his second term will be, and no one can say they didn’t know what they were getting because Trump has made it crystal clear. All I know is that the fight for justice does not end with one election.”

    Jimmy Fallon: ‘America decided to get back with crazy ex’

    On “The Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon proclaimed that by re-electing Trump, America “decided to come back with a crazy ex” and joked, “No matter who you voted for, I think all Americans can agree that it will be so. a rough Thanksgiving.”

    “It was a big night for Donald Trump and a bigger night for Don Julio,” he said, referring to the tequila brand. “51% of the country is really happy, 47% is really hungover, and (Rudy Giuliani) is both.”

    Kimmel, Colbert and Fallon all referenced the fact that Google searches for “has Joe Biden dropped out” spiked on Election Day — and all three had the same punch line. “Most of those searches were from Joe Biden,” Fallon said.

    The “Tonight Show” host made time for entertainment news, noting that Netflix confirmed Wednesday that the final season of “Stranger Things” will be released in 2025, a story the comedian quickly returned to after the election. “After last night,” he said, “how much stranger can things get?”
