  • -Welcome to "The Tonight Show," everybody.

  • Let's get to the news and jokes.

  • Well, guys, I hope everyone's doing a little better

  • after last night's presidential debate.

  • My only wish for tonight is that you laugh at these jokes

  • as much as Joe Biden laughed at President Trump.

  • [ Biden laughing ]

  • -What about those questions? -I will say...

  • -Less than -- Sir --

  • [ Imitating Biden laughter ]

  • [ Laughing rhythmically ]

  • ♪♪

  • After last night's disaster, Trump and Biden both confirmed

  • they will appear at the next debate.

  • Meanwhile, Americans were like,

  • "Yeah, you guys have fun with that."

  • I can't believe there's two more of these.

  • It's like getting food poisoning at Chipotle

  • then trying to clean out your system with more Chipotle.

  • The reviews of last night's debate are in,

  • and here's what the media had to say.

  • -This was the most chaotic

  • presidential debate I've ever seen.

  • -What happened on that debate stage was unlike anything

  • that has ever happened on a presidential debate stage.

  • -That was a hot mess

  • inside a dumpster fire inside a train wreck.

  • -It was undignified at many times. It was cringeworthy.

  • -I'm at a bit of a loss for words here

  • to describe what we've just witnessed.

  • -That was a [bleep] show.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -It's not a good sign when the presidential debate

  • gets the same reviews as "Cats."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Seriously, it was like watching "The View" on bath salts.

  • It was like watching a debate between two deejay air horns.

  • [ Rasta air horns blaring ]

  • [ Laughter ]

  • It was a lot to stomach.

  • If the debate aired on Netflix,

  • they would have had a popup that asked,

  • "How are you still watching?"

  • All this morning's headlines

  • were about what a disaster the debate was.

  • Like, the "New York Post" headline said

  • "A Hot Mess of a Debate."

  • Or a "Washington Post" one that said "Trump Sets The Tone

  • For The Worst Presidential Debate In Living Memory."

  • And this headline said

  • "Millions Stay Up Till 4AM

  • Googling 'How Do I Move To Canada?'"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • This one said "Dew Garita Stock Up 75%."

  • And finally this last headline says

  • "Priests seen yelling, 'Yes, today, Satan.'"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [ Applause ]

  • [ Laughs ]

  • "Yes, today, Satan."

  • Oh. The debate was crazy.

  • Some people compared it to a circus.

  • And get this -- during CNN's post-debate coverage,

  • Van Jones shared a message from actual circus workers.

  • -Circus workers actually reached out to my team.

  • They say, "Actually, we take offense.

  • We are careful and respectful people,

  • and we work very carefully together."

  • So the circus workers are taking offense

  • that this was worse than a circus.

  • -Yeah.

  • Clowns don't want to be compared to Trump.

  • They were like, "Sure, we both wear a lot of makeup,

  • but we pay way more in taxes."

  • You know it's a crazy night when a guy on CNN

  • very seriously says,

  • "I've just received a message from some circus workers and...

  • [ Laughter ]

  • ...they're not pleased."

  • Of course, one of the biggest moments

  • that everyone's still talking about

  • is when Trump failed to condemn white supremacists

  • and instead told them to "stand back and stand by."

  • Here are some reactions to that comment.

  • -It was really a sad night for our country

  • in that the President of the United States

  • would not dissociate himself from white supremacists.

  • -Donald Trump blew the biggest layup

  • in the history of debates by saying --

  • not condemning white supremacists.

  • -Yeah, it's not good when you ask the President

  • if he'll condemn white supremacy,

  • and the "Jeopardy!" music starts playing in his head

  • while he thinks it over.

  • Thank you. That was my "Jeopardy!" space work.

  • I can do other -- -Hey!

  • -Thank you very much. -You pay for it.

  • -I know, yeah. I do other game shows.

  • I do whatever you guys want. I do birthday parties.

  • If your kid likes a certain game show, I'll do that.

  • You know, space work. I don't bring any props.

  • I let the kid imagine where I am, what I'm holding.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Could be a light pen. Could be, you know, a buzzer.

  • Could be -- It's just a lot of fun.

  • [ "Final Jeopardy!" theme plays ]

  • -No, no, please, I can't do it. Not now. I'm too busy.

  • My wife and kids are here. Don't make me do it.

  • -Do it! -Don't make me do it.

  • -Yeah, I was. That's correct.

  • That's what -- That's the whole fun of it, yeah.

  • I let you have your own adventure, you know?

  • -Yeah. -You're welcome.

  • -The Human Escape Room. -Yeah.

  • -Love it.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Are you talking about my brain?

  • It's like a Human Escape Room, yeah, trying to get out.

  • I saw that this morning "Fox & Friends"

  • tried offering Trump some tips for the next debate.

  • Check out how they did it.

  • -Here's my advice for the President on the next debate.

  • One, interrupt less.

  • Two, let Biden flail around.

  • And, three, sum it up.

  • -"Fox & Friends" is just slowly turning into

  • "Sesame Street" for Trump.

  • [As Trump] "Loaf of bread, container of milk,

  • stick of butter.

  • Loaf of bread, container of milk, stick of butter.

  • Loaf of bread."

  • [Normal voice] And, finally, this isn't good.

  • I read that more people are experiencing cracked teeth.

  • They're experiencing cracked teeth, and the reason

  • is pretty interesting. Take a look.

  • -One dentist says that he's seeing five or ten times

  • more cracked teeth a day.

  • That's what's happening with stress in the pandemic.

  • Anxiety can cause you to clench

  • or grind your teeth more at night,

  • and that in turn can cause your teeth to crack.

  • -Man, oh, man. In 2020, even our teeth are divided.

-Welcome to "The Tonight Show," everybody.
