Closer looks at the DNC from Stewart, Colbert, and Meyers

I made an aside in Silly and serious looks at night 3 of the DNC from Colbert and FiveThirtyEight that I might feature The Daily Show today once it caught up with the convention.* I'm doing just that with Jon Stewart's DNC Recap: Oprah Calls Out Cat Ladies, Dem Vibes & Kamala’s Moment.

Jon Stewart closes out the last night of the DNC live from Chicago with a recap of the convention, including Kamala Harris's spotlight moment, Oprah's cat lady cam, and a roster of speakers as diverse and contradictory as the Democratic party itself. Jon also shows Dems what real joy looks like and tries to make sense of Fox News's convention coverage.

That's a good summary of the convention, never mind that The Daily Show didn't wait until it was actually over. On the other hand, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert did, so here's DNC Night 4: Kamala Harris Closes Out A Joyous, Highly-Rated DNC | Trump Is A Weak, Unserious Man.

Stephen Colbert brings a remarkable week of LIVE episodes to a close with one more monologue from the incredible Auditorium Theatre in Chicago following VP Kamala Harris's historic speech at night four of the Democratic National Convention.

Now, that's an update!

Listening to the audiences, I think both Stewart and Colbert will miss the Chicago crowds, even if Stewart tried to pick a fight with his over pizza. I could have told him that was a bad idea. My wife grew up in Chicago and she takes her local cuisine very seriously. Also, Chicagoans really don't care what New Yorkers think and especially aren't going to listen to attacks on their food.

I billed this entry as "closer looks" and it wouldn't be one without Seth Meyers, so I'm sharing Mike Lindell Humiliated by 12-Year-Old at DNC; Trump Whines About Obama "Size" Jab: A Closer Look.

Seth takes a closer look at Kamala Harris accepting the Democratic nomination to cap off a raucous convention that clearly got under Trump's skin.

LOL, double Razzie winner Mike Lindell. He deserved to get owned by a 12-year-old.

Follow over the jump for two features about Kamala Harris and the convention from The Daily Show and The Late Show.

I resume with Kamala Harris is "Just Normal" - Narrated By Jason Bateman | The Daily Show.

Kamala Harris didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree. The Democratic candidate has led a full and shockingly normal life. From her birth in a year that makes her a very normal age to be president now, to a classic college job at McDonald's, to her time in the senate barely getting noticed for anything, Kamala is breaking with recent presidential tradition by being totally f**king normal.

If Republicans are "Weird," then it makes perfect sense for Democrats in general and Harris in particular to be normal.

I close with The Late Show's Do The Kamala Shuffle.



The 1985 Chicago Bears just dropped a new smash hit.
That was fun, but the party's over. Let's get to work!

*I also wrote "That is, if I don't throw a comic tomato at RFK Jr., who is rumored to be suspending his campaign..." That hadn't happened yet when I started writing this entry, so not today. Maybe tomorrow. Stay tuned.
