Late-Night Tackles McCarthy/Gaetz (But The Daily Show Gets The Win)

Kevin McCarthy & Matt Gaetz were easy targets for Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers & Jimmy Kimmel (and The Daily Show went brutal).

Less than a day after Jimmy Fallon & NBC's The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert & CBS' The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers & NBC' Late Night with Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Kimmel & ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! returned to late-night, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz made sure to have a hot topic ready for them. In volleyball terms, McCarthy & Gaetz set them up beautifully for a spike – four times over. And how did they do that? Well, it couldn't have happened without the selflessness on McCarthy's part to become the first Speaker of the House to be sent packing in this country's history – in a 216/210 vote. Of course, where would McCarthy be without his "co-star" Gaetz, a walking bundle of potential ethics issues (still waiting on that report) who put forth the motion to have McCarthy sent packing? And while some will say that it happened because of the Democrats, you don't need to look too deeply at the bigger picture to see that the Republican Party has a civil war on its hands – one that the Democrats should have no interest in getting involved in.

Before we look at what Colbert, Kimmel, Meyers, and Fallon had to say about the whole situation (yeah, they had some thoughts)? Comedy Central's The Daily Show (returning with guest hosts the week of October 16th, with a new permanent host set to take over in 2024) gets the award for the best late-night reaction tweet/x to what went down – but it wasn't aimed at McCarthy:

Now, here's a look at what the late-night hosts had to say about all of the GOP-on-GOP crime going on over in Congress as Republican whackjobs go to war with the really whackjob half of their party:
