Hollywood may not have gotten the 45th POTUS it wanted, but late-night TV hosts reminded their viewers life will go on.
James Corden, Seth, Meyers, Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Conan O’Brien all offered laughs and love last night on their first shows since the presidential election results shocked the world.
Corden’s pep talk was quite lovely — be sure to watch his message above.
Conan O’Brien took some time on Wednesday’s show to give his TBS crowd a history lesson, explaining that we’ve been here before as a country.
In the last couple of years, I’ve traveled to a bunch of countries — Cuba, Armenia, the middle east — where the people would give anything, anything to have our system.
Hollywood Boulevard resident Jimmy Kimmel walked voters and viewers through the five stages of grief from his ABC stage.
For “Acceptance,” the “Man Show” alum offered this silver lining: “No matter how you feel about it, Donald Trump is the President of the United States of America — so thank God we legalized marijuana yesterday.”
Over on NBC, that other Jimmy spent his entire monologue on the election results.
Here’s a taste of his best stuff: “Republicans hope he’ll keep his promise to build a wall, and Democrats hope he’ll keep his promise not to accept the election results.”
