If you missed the VP debate last night between Tim Walz and JD Vance, Stephen Colbert has you covered.

In the live Late Show monologue above the host breaks down the most memorable (and awkward) moments, from moderators having to cut the mics to Vance trying to swerve questions on Donald Trump losing the previous election.

"In the end it was 90 minutes of constant talk that made one thing clear: Tonight was like Thanksgiving with your most nervous uncle, and your smuggest nephew," sums up Colbert. "It was unpleasant, awkward, and thankfully you only have to do it once every four years."
