Late-night writers quickly seized on Beto O'Rourke speaking Spanish in the Democratic presidential debate

Twitter

Trevor Noah, Jimmy Fallon (going live after a political event for the first time) and Stephen Colbert "immediately go to Beto in Spanish as early jokes. And Cory Booker’s reaction. Twitter memes help late night comedy deadlines," said The New York Times' John Koblin, who live-tweeted the post-debate late-night shows. He added: "Ratings tomorrow will be fascinating. Fallon has the NBC debate lead in, does some debate jokes before a song and Stranger Things bit. Introduces Daisy Ridley and says 'Let’s talk about Star Wars.' Colbert stays on politics and goes to (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) as first guest... Colin Quinn is talking about neck tattoos on Fallon, AOC is talking about Mueller on Colbert." ALSO: Noah's The Daily Show kicked off post-debate coverage with the graphic: “World War D: Let’s Get Ready to Ramble: Part 1.”
