US late-night hosts reaction to 2026 midterm elections
Overview
Following the 2026 midterm elections, in which Democrats gained control of the House and Senate, late-night television hosts including Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon mocked President Donald Trump regarding Republican losses. Kimmel described the results as a “blue tsunami” and noted that many endorsed candidates failed to win.
In subsequent days, the satire continued as hosts targeted the administration. Jimmy Fallon used a fake NFL promo to mock the president’s election performance and made jokes regarding the president’s cognitive test and Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. Jimmy Kimmel also responded to insults from White House spokesman Davis Ingle, who had characterized Kimmel as having a “peanut-sized brain” following the host’s post-election commentary.
