The “Daily Show” guest host argued that Santos shouldn’t have been expelled from Congress because, “we were all safer when we knew where this dude was.”
Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night’s highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.
Get Out, and Stay Out
George Santos was expelled from Congress on Friday, and officials wasted no time in changing the locks.
On Monday’s “The Daily Show,” Charlamagne Tha God, a guest host, shared his “unpopular” opinion that Santos, a New York Republican, shouldn’t have been expelled, saying, “we were all safer when we knew where this dude was.”
“Now, he could be anywhere. He could be at Nordstrom using your credit card right now.” — CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD
“They changed the locks immediately, though I’m not sure that will do anything. This guy stole money from a sick service dog — you think he wouldn’t crawl through an air vent?” — CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD
“And while it’s confusing as to why they would have to change the locks on an office he can’t go into anymore, apparently, even though he’s been expelled — this is crazy — legally, he still has access to the House floor, the dining room, the cloakroom and the gym. Which, that won’t be awkward at all — you vote him out, and you’re still showering with him. George Santos is basically an ex who still has the key to our apartment.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“But, more importantly, I don’t think Congress should come before the court. You shouldn’t be able to kick out someone for crimes they have not been actually convicted of yet. And I’ll tell you why: To get convicted in a court, it takes 12 ordinary citizens to judge you, and I trust 12 randos off the street way more than 435 congresspeople.” — CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD
“Because when you really think about it, he just got fired by his co-workers. I don’t know if we want to set that precedent. Imagine if all our co-workers could vote on whether we should have a job — we’d all be unemployed.” — CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD
The Punchiest Punchlines (George Santos’s Only Fans Edition)
“On Friday, George Santos was expelled from the House of Representatives. And I, for one, feel better that Congress is now only filled with completely honest people. Finally.” — JIMMY FALLON
“He put on his coat before the vote was even over. Well, let me correct myself: He put on a coat. For all we know, there is another congressman, like, ‘Somebody stole my coat.’” — CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD
“Santos even tried pulling on heartstrings to remain in Congress. In a final speech, he asked to keep his job for the sake of his young son, Tiny Tim.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Yep, only 114 members of Congress voted to keep George Santos, or as Santos calls them, ‘My Only Fans.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“Santos has already joined Cameo and is charging $200 a video — ’cause that’s what you want to do, give your credit card information to George Santos.” — JIMMY FALLON
