Thu Nov 07 05:30:00 UTC 2024: ## Late-Night Hosts Campaign for Their Picks Ahead of Tight Election
**Philadelphia, PA** – With Election Day just hours away, late-night TV hosts are openly campaigning for their preferred candidates, highlighting the high stakes of the race.
**Stephen Colbert**, host of “The Late Show”, welcomed Democratic vice presidential candidate **Tim Walz** to his show. Walz, known for his folksy charm and love of metaphors, likened the Democratic economic plan to fixing a car engine, emphasizing the importance of investing in the middle class. He also used a sports analogy, urging viewers to “give 110%” and “leave it all on the field” to save democracy.
**Jimmy Kimmel**, host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, struck a more somber tone, drawing attention to recently released audio tapes where deceased financier **Jeffrey Epstein** claimed a close friendship with **Donald Trump**. Kimmel expressed surprise that the tapes, containing Epstein’s comments about Trump’s lack of morals, haven’t received more attention. He humorously compared it to being criticized for a minor offense by a notorious criminal like R. Kelly.
The starkly different approaches taken by Colbert and Kimmel reflect the heightened emotions and importance placed on this election by both candidates and the public. As the country awaits the results, it remains to be seen whether these late-night voices will sway undecided voters.
