  1. “Yeah, we shall see. They never liked Trump from the beginning. They did vote for him the first time around, and they are now not Trump fans. So I don't know if they will ultimately vote for Kamala. I'm working on it.”

  2. “The interesting thing about Kentucky and the piece that I went back and did last year was just kind of based on this idea that there are all these red states and their legislators are putting laws into action that don't necessarily represent the needs and the wants of the people. So when you get out on the streets and you start talking to people, you know, these book bands and the culture war issues, these are not important to the average voter in Kentucky. So instead of just like from our elite New York City bubble over here, they commentary on some of these red stays, I felt like I wanted to go there and show a different side and talk to a variety of people.”

  3. “It's brilliant. And it, I do think the whole, you know, even though we all believe democracy is on the line here, that is a very specific type of messaging. This weird thing just... It really undermines them. It kind of takes the power away a little bit, don't you think? Yeah.”

  4. “It was such a great strategic move. What do you say to weird? You can't defend, you can't go, I'm not weird. What do you mean? There's nothing weird about me. There's no way to defend yourself to that.”

  5. “He's endlessly funny, not for democracy, not in the White House, but he is as a person the most unintentionally funny character. I think for us, we're used to satirizing the news and these political characters, and he is such a parody of himself that it became really hard to outsatire him. We all had to become straight people.”

  6. “It certainly makes it more exciting. Now, you know, anytime the news takes a hard turn in a different direction, that's something exciting to cover. And I think this is much more, yeah, new material to work with. We get to learn who Tim Wolse is. We get to see Kamala in this light, you know, and Trump. He just done it so much.”

  7. “Know John has a way of seeing the world around him and not being afraid to say what's happening. He's saying the thing out loud. And so I think it did give us all permission to kind of go, all right, this is our job. Like we are not working for anyone's campaign. We're all pretty progressive. You could probably guess who we're all going to vote for. It's not Trump. But it's our job to try to mine comedy out of all of this and save.”

  8. “Just, no, not at all. I mean, I think sometimes John had his feelings about it and he said them out loud. He was saying the thing that I think we all were beginning to see. He was speaking on it before the debate. Yes, he was fair. And I think all of us, you know, when he did that, even I kind of went like, ooh, I don't know if that, I feel that makes me a little uncomfortable”

  9. “And there were a couple moments, and I was just like, guys, stay in your lane. That's a joke. I'm jealous. I wish I would have come up with that.”

  10. “So to speak. And then, so I was hammering pretty hard on working that into the day. And Jordan Klepper, who was my partner that day, was fully supportive of it. And one of our writers, Jubin, who is incredible, came up with the idea to compare it to Biden, quote-unquote, shitting the bed on the debate stage. And he did a lot of the heavy lifting on that. And we just fully committed to it. It felt like, you know, it was tongue-in-cheek. It felt like it was kind of fair game for the day. You went for it. You went for it.”

  11. “All I'm saying is Gwynneth has every right to be skeptical about inviting this House guest to stay over again for the next four years or so. It might be too late in the summer to get another house guest. There's plenty of time to get another house guest. Okay, okay. To say that another guest might not shit the bed even worse. I mean, sometimes the bed shitter you know is better than the bed shitter you don't. Maybe, maybe, but we should at least be honest about the bed shitting instead of pretending that the bed was never shot in. Otherwise, we're going to delude ourselves into thinking that this is the best house guess we can get. And now all of a sudden, it's January, and there's a house guest that nobody wanted and nobody in the house is allowed to get a goddamn abortion. Talk to me.”

  12. “That's right. Joe Biden is running for reelection. Well, not running exactly. The man is 80 years old. Let's say he's stairlifting for re-election”

  13. “I think Not thinking for yourself. That's right, the far left Democrats have taken time away from building a socialist abortion laser to call good, honest patriots like JD Vance and Marjorie Taylor Green weird.”
