“All year long we’ve been waiting to find out if Republicans will take control of Congress and stop President Biden’s agenda, or if Democrats will keep control of Congress and somehow stop Biden’s agenda. And it’s all led up to today, election day: a great thing for democracy and for people who love waiting in lines.” —Trevor Noah
Political commentators and politicians tell us that this may be the most important election of our lifetime. And I know they said that about 2020. I also know that they said that about the 2018 midterms, and they definitely said that about 2016. Which I know makes some people say, ‘Well, clearly none of these elections are as important as people say.’ But maybe we’re thinking of it wrong. Maybe everything is getting worse and worse, which makes every election more and more important. Think about it like this for a minute. When you’re in your driveway, it helps to have good brakes on your car. But then when you get on the road, the brakes become more important. Then you’re on the freeway going a hundred miles per hour, the brakes are even more important. Then, a school bus gets stuck in front of you and then you realize that the school bus is full of puppies and the puppies are holding the only copy of Rihanna’s new album! Now the brakes are the most important brakes of our lifetime!” —Trevor Noah
“A JC Penny store in Pennsylvania had to be closed temporarily after a deer entered the store and got into a dressing room. The story again, a JC Penny is so empty, it’s actually being reclaimed by nature.” —Jimmy Fallon
