Late Laughs

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

Ladies and gentlemen, ... thank you for being here for a very special night of “The Late Show.” We were supposed to be off tonight [Oct. 8]. This wasn’t supposed to be a show night for us. My plan was to be in sweatpants right now with a clutch of peanut butter pretzels in one hand and a jar of Nutella in the other, slowly slipping into a flavor coma in hour eight of a “Below Deck Med” marathon. But instead, we fired up the old show machine for one night only, for a very important reason: it’s Matt Damon’s birthday. Happy birthday, Matt. ... Matt, I got you what you wanted — an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

This [past] weekend [Oct. 5-6], [Donald] Trump held another live fest in Pennsylvania, and he was joined on stage by Elon Musk. That’s got to be a little confusing for Trump voters. [As Trump] “I’m fighting for the little guy and you know how much I hate immigrants. Now please welcome an immigrant who makes more money in one second than you’ll make in your entire worthless lives. Put your filthy little worker hands together for your South African oligarch god, Elon Musk.”

This weekend [Oct. 5-6], former President [Donald] Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania and Elon Musk joined him on stage. It was exciting for all the Trump supporters because, for the first time, they got to see an actual billionaire.

Last night [Oct. 7], “60 Minutes” aired their big election special, but only Vice President [Kamala] Harris was featured because Trump broke 50 years of tradition and backed out of the interview. ... Now, how are we ever gonna hear what Donald Trump thinks about anything?

Last night [Oct. 9], Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, held a campaign event on Twitch during a World of Warcraft livestream. Not to be outdone, JD Vance just appeared on a series of TikTok makeup tutorials.

I want to extend warm and safe wishes to those watching in the path of Hurricane Milton. ... They say Milton could be a storm for the history books if the state of Florida still had history books — which they do not.

Late Night With Seth Meyers

Former President [Donald] Trump held a rally on Saturday [Oct. 5] in Butler, Pennsylvania, which featured a moment of silence, specifically when he said, “Please welcome JD Vance.”

Elon Musk spoke at former President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania, wore a black MAGA hat and said, “As you can see, I’m not just MAGA. I’m dark MAGA.” And when I heard that, I cringed so hard I momentarily had abs. This guy thinks he’s dark. Dude, you’re the whitest person ever born! You’re the same color they paint apartments after someone moves out.

A sixth senior member of New York Mayor Eric Adams’ administration has resigned. OK, who’s even left at this point? At this rate, his communications director is just going to be a Times Square Dora.

In honor of Halloween, Chipotle has announced that it will offer burritos to customers in costume for $6 after 3 p.m. Good news for the front of the horse, but horrible news for the back.

The retailer Spirit Halloween this week [Oct. 6-12] announced it would test a new Spirit Christmas concept this year. It’s the perfect place to pick up an obese chimney intruder costume.
