Not only did I enjoy this funny and thought provoking address, I felt the need to comment on the NY Times critic, Jason Zinoman who panned it. It is increasingly frustrating that the NY Times is selective about when to allow comments on an article. Often the comment sections have far more insight than articles that may have an agenda. Colin Jost is understated but that forces the audience to make an effort. I loved his comparing himself to Doug Emhoff. They are both second husbands. and “It’s after 10 p.m. Sleepy Joe is still awake, while Trump has spent the last week falling asleep in court every morning-though Fox News just said he was being anti-woke.”

@@sjp4u338 you are allowed to. Although it is difficult to understand why.... Unless you buy all the Russian propaganda about him. Sorry if you do, I don't.

Very well done Colin!

His grandfather voting twice spot on!

I thought Joe had better lines.

Oh, I thought it would be Seth Meyers because he’s been unavailable all week, but this is a nice surprise. Love you Colin, you did great!!!

[@Speedy4527]

Seth was on standby in case Donald made a surprise appearance.

I responded on another channel with this.. it's late so I should admit up front that I am plagiarizing myself.. 🙄😉 "Perfect!! At a time where folks need a bit of a "reality check" and the spin would make Weebles lose their center of gravity and fall down, the uncomfortable and often absence of laughter from the crowd made me smile!! Colin had them a bit flumoxed.. Like a mediator in a successful negotiation where both parties walk away a bit unhappy because they got what they deserved.. not what they wanted.. Loved it!!! Be Well!! 😀 "

My husband and I have been thinking about giving up The NY Times for _The Guardian_ . I spend more time with the former's puzzles than with their tired take on news these days. Democrats and Republicans are NOT equivalent.

[@eileenodonnell8376]

Check the NYT butt-hurt critique- they said Jost "fell flat"! What poor sports

[@mkatepaski9947]

You can get the wordle without a subscription still I think. They were going to charge but I think it's still free

The Che Joke delivered!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@cjames4084]

Excellent. Well done. Make sure you see the conclusion at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1135">18:55</a> regarding Colin's grandfather from Staten Island. On point, and very touching. Here's to decency!!! Standing ovation is well deserved. The naysayers missed the boat on this comedic triumph.

[@denitrifi.gaming]

At least I can go to sleep knowing that Biden won't rage tweet the jokes about him because he can take it. Can't say the same if it was the other guy

[@stevenmorrow9922]

Only because he forgot about them after three seconds, and can't use a phone

President Biden was one of the few that got the jokes.

[@dyleris]

Some killer punchlines and a decent razzing on the Prez, but the delivery was slower and less energetic than most of other hosts in the history of this show (I mean, compare this to O'Brien's second hosting...). Jost is much better on that fake news show!

[@pdlister]

Jost was exactly like he is on that fake news show.

I think we all agree. We don't expect to see this again over the next four years.

[@fairchildaerialimaging]

I love how the audience shots make half the ppl look butt hurt or simply pissed off. Like is that lady hatin' on that joke or did her s/o just tell her they spent 50k without consulting her. Some of them appear very angry.

[@mycoolvids]

After the punchline "my reflection in a spoon" Colin should have said "you got a big ass head Matt"

[@briansounalath]

He’s like the handsome nerd in school. On the west coast they don’t look like this but the east coast elites yeah.

[@Nother-pp1rv]

I thought he did really well. He was respectful and funny. Trump and the NYT’s seem to be tied in the contest of who least can take a joke.
