The Definitive Collection Of The Best Late Night Responses To The Last Night Of The Democratic National Convention
a.k.a. A Child's Garden Of Responses To Bernie Sanders's Pouting.
The DNC wrapped things up last night with a speech from its historic nominee, Hillary Clinton, and if she couldn't match the rhetorical heights President Obama reached the night before (here, you should picture the literal bath towel I literally soaked with my tears during his address), it at least made it very clear she is prepared to boss around the country like your mom bossed you when you were a teenager -- which, let's be frank, is exactly what a president should do. Here are the best responses to the convention's last night from the late night shows!
1. Trevor Noah, The Daily Show
"Morgan Freeman....Who better to humanize Hillary Clinton than the man who made us fall in love with penguins?"
2. Richard Kind, The Last Martin O'Malley Supporter, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
"He's the best! He spoke twice during the debates. They asked him a question once, but he spoke twice."
3. Seth Meyers with A Closer Look, Late Night With Seth Meyers
As Bernie Sanders: "'I told you not to mention me! I have a discount bus to catch!'"

4. Two Female Delegates To The First Continental Congress, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
"You hear that, Ben Franklin? Women are on top! And not just your French whores!"
5. The Real Reason Donald Trump Won't Release His Tax Returns, Late Night With Seth Meyers
"I think you're not releasing your taxes because you don't have any money! I think you're broke! I don't even think you have an accountant -- I think you use TurboTax! You're not running for president because you want the power or you want to make America great! I think you need the $400,000-a-year salary!"
