Late-night hosts take aim at Donald Trump's mic failure

Election Day is just around the corner and the late night hosts are ready. Or as ready as is possible given the circumstances. Jimmy Kimmel used his final show before the election to make an impassioned plea to get rid of Donald Trump, while others mocked the Republican candidate's recent meltdown on the microphone during one of his rallies.

“After a two-year campaign, we finally managed to get through all 20 years,” quipped Stephen Colbert The Late Show. “It felt like a long time.” More seriously, he continued, “We are all literally on the verge of witnessing history.” Good or bad. I suspect that’s how the people of Pompeii felt when Vesuvius was trying to get re-elected.”

Colbert said that none of the experts could predict the outcome of the election. That didn't stop Kamala Harris from declaring “We will win” at her rally in Allentown, but led to Colbert tapping on a block of wood, throwing salt over his shoulder and frantically licking a rabbit's foot before taking a sip of tequila . Luckily, of course.

He explained Harris' “positive” final message and noted that Trump's final message was slightly different. “It's called 'Bring me my stock enemy's liver,'” Colbert said. He then played footage of Trump imitating a blowjob on his microphone stand. “I was wrong,” Colbert said. “Obviously he has a job plan.”

To Jimmy Kimmel LiveKimmel had a more direct message in his monologue, making his own closing argument for the election.

“Forget what side you’re on,” Kimmel said. “I want you to take a moment and imagine a world where you wake up in the morning, read the news, and no one says the words 'Donald' or 'Trump.'” Just a bunch of normal, boring stuff. Wouldn't that be nice? No lawn signs. No red hats. No arguing with your grandfather. You check the sports, Al Roker takes care of the weather, and then you go to work.”

He concluded: “Let’s remove this cancerous polyp from our shared national colon and move on.” Don’t forget to vote!”

Jordan Klepper was given the honor of hosting The Daily Showwas the last episode before Election Day and he used it as an opportunity to talk about Harris' last message and “Trump's last BJ.”

“Tomorrow is finally the big day,” said Klepper. “Tilda Swinton’s birthday. She becomes ageless. So congratulations to her. Tomorrow is also election day. And look, I’m not in the forecasting business, but I still believe Joe Biden can do it.”

Klepper clarified the different messages of both candidates in the run-up to the election. “For Kamala, it's a message of hope, unity and 'look who my friends are,'” Klepper said. He continued: “While Kamala ends the campaign full of joy and celebrity hype, Donald Trump's closing argument is that he's basically mad at everyone.”

The host added before playing the infamous microphone clip: “But Trump not only exuded dark vibes, he also exuded a strange sexual energy.”

“What are we doing here, guys?” Klepper answered happily. “I hate to say it, but can we please go back to the handjob routine? Please? I mean, you know a campaign has gone off the rails when you look at C-SPAN and they ask you if you’re over 18.”

To The Tonight ShowJimmy Fallon remarked, “We finally did it.” He added of the anticipation, “I can’t stand it. This must be the kind of fear Carnival Cruise’s PR person feels every day.”

Fallon also played the footage of Trump's incident using a microphone to elicit groans from the audience. “His staff said, 'Oh my God, he's screwing up,'” Fallon responded.

To Late Night with Seth MeyersHost Seth Meyers used his “A Closer Look” segment to reflect on the final moments of the election. “None of us can control what happens tomorrow,” he said. “The only way we can control how drunk we are is when it happens.”

Meyers also aired the microphone moment from Trump's rally, calling it the candidate's “final message.” “I just had a flashback to trying to turn off Cinemax because I heard my parents coming down the stairs,” Meyers said. “Seriously, dude, if you did that in charades you’d be banned from game nights. I don’t care what the answer was.”
