Best Jokes About the Presidential Debates

"After tonight’s debate, several Fox News analysts said that Hillary Clinton was the clear winner. So maybe global warming IS a hoax because hell has frozen over." –Seth Meyers

"Hillary was so prepared, my new nickname for her is Preparation H. Yeah, it’s a compliment. In the primaries, she already proved she could 'soothe the Bern.'" –Stephen Colbert

"Last night, Donald Trump told an audience that before Monday's debate — this is a quote — 'I pretended I was talking to my family.' Then he admitted he frequently accuses his family of deleting emails and creating ISIS." –Conan O'Brien

"Donald Trump is still being mocked for promising in the debate to 'cut taxes bigly.' Trump has apologized, and promised in the next debate he'll 'speak more goodly.'" –Conan O'Brien

"The second presidential debate is just 11 days away, and this one will have a town hall format. The first question will be, 'Why'd you have to do this in OUR town?'" –Jimmy Fallon

"At the next debate, Donald Trump is threatening to talk about all of Bill Clinton's affairs. Hillary's not too worried, because the debate's only 90 minutes." –Conan O'Brien

"Hillary Clinton has asked “Shark Tank’s” Mark Cuban to attend tonight’s debate. Trump was furious and said, 'A billionaire reality star has no business being at a presidential debate.'" –Conan O'Brien

"Pundits are noting that this year’s group of debate moderators is the most diverse in history, featuring an African-American, two women, a Filipino, and an openly gay man. Trump was like, “I think I’ve heard this one before, but go ahead.'" –Seth Meyers

"We all just watched Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton debate for an hour and a half. Coming into tonight’s debate, Democrats were divided between two strong emotions: panic and pants-crapping. Democrats have not been this nervous since Anthony Weiner asked to borrow their phone." –Stephen Colbert

"The debate was moderated by NBC’s Lester Holt, which makes sense since he hosted “Dateline” and is used to two rich white people who want to murder each other."  –Stephen Colbert

"There were actually 1,000 people in the audience tonight and they were instructed not to applaud or cheer during the debate. As people watching were like, 'What about sobbing? Can we quietly sob?'" –Jimmy Fallon

"In addition to costumes, they also banned balloons and drones. Which explains why Trump uninvited Chris Christie and Ben Carson." –Jimmy Fallon
