To close out their campaign, the Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz decided that late night comedy shows would be the best forum for their final pleas to voters ahead of Election Day. As Harris traveled to NBC and Saturday Night Live, Walz was joined in Pennsylvania by CBS’s Stephen Colbert for Monday’s edition of The Late Show for one last “pep talk” and softball interview.

Walz would interrupt to take the duo down a carpet cleaning rabbit hole. Finally, after a game of table football, Colbert would open up the floor one last time, “Coach, this is the night before the election… So, let's bring it in, coach, for one final pep talk to the voters out there maybe haven't made up their mind and if you can give that pep talk using as many of these sports clichés as possible, that would be great.”
No Democratic pitch would be complete without some doommongering about the end of democracy, so after the forced sports clichés Colbert demanded, Walz added, “Look, democracy is at stake here. We have an opportunity to bring this country together… We've got the best candidate, we got the best quarterback out there in Kamala Harris. We know their game plan of Project 2025 isn't going to be good for any of us, and so creating an opportunity economy, we’re going to put the ball over the goal line.”
