Late Night Recaps Harris’s Time on Fox News and Trump’s on Univision

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.

Lions, Foxes and Baiers

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on Fox News on Wednesday, where she was interrupted several times during an interview with Bret Baier, the network’s chief political anchor. On the same day, former President Donald Trump held a Univision town hall, where, as Desi Lydic joked on Thursday’s “Daily Show,” he “faced down his biggest fear: Hispanic people.”

“Yes, both Kamala and Trump went into ‘the lion’s den’ this week — although they only got Trump there by telling him it was the name of a strip club.” — DESI LYDIC
“I’d like to point out that there is no difference between his nervous swaying to Spanish and his dancing to ‘Ave Maria.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT


“Now Kamala’s ‘lion’s den’ was Fox News, so I guess it was a Fox den, where she sat down with Bret Baier — so maybe it was a Baier’s den.” — DESI LYDIC


“I want to be clear about this: I believe that journalists should always ask the toughest questions of presidential candidates, and Bret Baier certainly plays a convincing journalist on Fox News.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Come on, Bret, you invited her on to speak with you. This is an interview with the vice president, not sex with your wife — you have to let the woman finish.” — DESI LYDIC

The Punchiest Punchlines (Winning? Edition)

“According to The New York Times, the Trump campaign has sent more than 7,400 emails asking for money since he entered the race in November of ’22. That’s around 11 emails a day for two years. You know, a lot of times, these emails have subject lines like ‘Action required’ or ‘Confirm payment information!’ — basically the same tactics hackers use to steal your grandma’s Social Security number.” — JIMMY KIMMEL


“But sometimes, he sweetens the pot with an exciting offer. I actually got one myself last week. It said, ‘Friend, you’re invited to Mar-a-Lago,’ which, for me, feels like a trap.” — JIMMY KIMMEL


“You enter by giving him money, which is — the same way you enter a strip club, is how you enter.” — JIMMY KIMMEL


[imitating Trump] ‘I instructed my team to put this contest together because I want to meet one of you, and you can bring a friend.’ Like anyone who would enter this has a friend.” — JIMMY KIMMEL


“But the fact that his campaign has offered almost zero proof that these ‘exclusive offers,’ that hasn’t stopped Trump from offering them. They claim you can meet Trump Jr. in London. That’s right — travel 5,000 miles to share a tea bag with a douchebag.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
