None of the three late night comedy shows that aired original episodes on Wednesday could bring themselves to even acknowledge the existence of the Fauci hearings, and it wasn’t for a lack of time.

On Monday, Team USA suffered a 4-1 defeat to Belgium in the World Cup, and on Tuesday the late night comedy shows knew who to blame: President Trump.

Later, Klepper’s anti-Trump activism gave way to Lydic’s pro-Democrat activism when she interviewed Alexis Goldstein, Alissa Ellman, Michael Duffin, and Tracy Starr about their new career ambitions.
