Double-Teaming Donald Trump
Former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, gave rousing speeches on the second night of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday.
On Wednesday’s “Late Night,” Seth Meyers said that Michelle Obama “brought down the house when she tore into Trump.”
“She is very, very good. I’m a little bummed she doesn’t want to get into politics, but I’m very happy she doesn’t want to host a late-night talk show.” — SETH MEYERS
Barack Obama’s speech, Meyers said, “got everyone talking when he took a jab at the size of Trump’s crowds.”
“He did it without even saying a word — just a tiny hand gesture.” — SETH MEYERS
“I’ve said it for years, and I’ll say it again: the best Obama is standup Obama.” — SETH MEYERS
“That was the first time Trump was like, ‘That’s enough TV; I’m going to go exercise and read a book.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“The last time Trump got burned that badly, he locked himself in his tanning bed.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Yeah, then Stormy Daniels said, ‘Nothing to fact check there.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“I see what he did there. Yeah, yeah, that’s brutal. That’s the second time this summer that the Secret Service has failed to protect Trump from a lethal attack.” — JORDAN KLEPPER, guest host of “The Daily Show”
The Punchiest Punchlines (Turn Down for What Edition)
“I just know that when Lil Jon wrote this song, he was thinking to himself, ‘This will absolutely rip at the 2024 Democratic National Convention.’” — JORDAN KLEPPER, on Lil Jon’s appearance at the D.N.C.
“I didn’t know politics was so lit. I’m going to start voting!” — JORDAN KLEPPER
“Oh my gosh! They don’t call it a political party for nothing’.” — RUPAUL, guest host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live”
“C-SPAN even covered it and identified Lil Jon in a lower third, although they should have used his official title: ‘Rep. Lil Jon, Democrat, Crunksylvania.’” — SETH MEYERS
