Jimmy Fallon jabbed that America 'got back together with its crazy ex' while Stephen Colbert hysterically admitted he's 'not doing great' as late night miserably went through their paces after Donald Trump had the last laugh at the polls.
While not every late night show had a specifically political bent, all of the left-leaning talkers addressed Trump's victory in a depressed manner.
Colbert and Meyers issued pep talks for his solidly Democrat, Trump-Hating audience while Jimmy Kimmel spoke to liberal podcast Pod Save America and Jimmy Fallon discussed the results and sang a hopeful song with The View's Whoopi Goldberg.
Seth Meyers gave his typical, 16-minute comic roundup of the show and The Daily Show went all-politics as usual.
The shows also played recorded bits, with Fallon satirizing fast-talking anchors from cable news and Kimmel mocking Americans who were Googling basic facts of the election the day of the vote.

Colbert posted a somber, direct-to-camera monologue and appeared beaten down by the results. 'If you watch this show regularly, I'm guessing you're not doing great. Me neither,' he said.
Perhaps no talk show host has upended their personal relationship to Trump than Kimmel, who was once friendly with the former president. Kimmel, in a monologue headlined 'A Terrible Night,' began with a cold open of his own. The talk show host was seen packing his stuff and said to sidekick Guillermo that he was 'leaving the country.'
Kimmel then lead off his monologue saying: 'I spent a lot of time over the last 17 hours thinking about what I would say tonight, what there even is to say and... there's nothing, good night everybody!'
He then deemed it 'the worst taco Tuesday of my entire life' before joking that Democrats had 'decided not to rig' this election.
NBC’s Meyers revealed that he had voted for Harris, sarcastically quipping that nobody knew which candidate he had supported in the weeks before the election. The 50-year-old “SNL” alum said election night felt like it was going to be Christmas Eve — either Santa left you presents under the tree Christmas Morning, or “just took a huge dump in your fireplace.”
“I don’t think Donald Trump’s a good person. I will even go as far as saying he’s a bad person. Now in my defense, I’m only basing that on everything that I’ve ever been taught about what makes someone good or bad,” Meyers said.
