“It’s Biden-Trump. It’s always been Biden-Trump. It will always be Biden-Trump. But not if you ask the voters, who seem to still be in denial. There is a recent poll which found that nearly half of voters think it’s likely that Democrats will replace Biden with another candidate before the election. No! No they won’t! It’s Trump versus Biden, stop making up election fan fiction – ‘Ooh, what if Tom Brady comes out of retirement for president, he could make Gronk secretary of Gronking. And then they kiss.’” —Stephen Colbert
In a new print interview with the New Yorker, Joe Biden assured that he would beat Trump and noted: “I am the only one who has ever beat him.” Well, that’s true unless you count E Jean Carroll, [New York attorney general] Letitia James, Covid, the free market and ramps. —Seth Meyers

"The list of women who got sexy pics from Anthony Weiner keeps growing. As of now it's a porn star, a single mom from Texas, a blackjack dealer, and a student from Seattle. Is this a sex scandal of the next cast of Survivor? 'Survivor: Weiner Island.'" –Craig Ferguson
"Today the porn star in question – talking about Anthony Weiner – apparently he tried to get her to lie about the messages he sent. But she refused. Good! I'd hate to think a porn star would degrade herself by taking orders from a Congressman." –Craig Ferguson
"But I have to ask this: What kind of world are we living in when porn stars make Weiners go down?' It's reverse world!" –Craig Ferguson
