Trevor Noah checks in on the US election live from his election fallout shelter

How about that American election last night folks?! It’s amazing that the results are... *checks notes*... still not decided as votes are still being counted at press time. Sorry to say you’re going to have to hold on to your Pepto-Bismol bottle a little tighter for the next day or so until all the votes are counted. Luckily, our favourite late night TV hosts, despite most of them being pre-empted for election coverage, continued to make us laugh and ease the pain. Trevor Noah even took The Daily Show (Mon-Thurs at 11pET on CTV Comedy), which for the past few months has been live from his apartment, to a new-fangled location: his election fallout shelter!*Stefon voice* That place has *everything*: hand sanitizer, hand sanitizer for his hand sanitizer, board games like Strife, Murder House, and uh, Continent Control (how apropos Trevor), an endless supply of toilet paper, and a boom box, “For sentimental value; it was my grandfather’s iPod,” he joked.Joined by correspondent Roy Wood Jr., who guessed the password to the bunker (“Wakanda 123,” of course), Trevor presented us with VOTEGASM 2020: What could go wrong (again)?—his uniquely funny take on the live election results.

In other news: We’re not sure who Melania voted for and Trump referred to Lil Pump as "Little Pimp"

A post shared by The Daily Show (@thedailyshow) on Nov 3, 2020 at 9:28pm PST

Seeing as concrete election results were, let's say, scarce, Noah had to look to other sources for comedy content. As the press followed FLOTUS Melania Trump from her polling station after voting with the assumption that she voted for her husband, Trevor cracked, “You know I’m pretty certain Melania is the only first lady where people can only assume she voted for her husband. Cause she could have voted early, but she waited for Election Day like, ‘I’m an undecided voter!’”Noah also fielded dispatches from his correspondents (AKA The World's Fakest News Team) like Ronny Chieng who broke down the concept of mandatory voting, Jordan Klepper who interviewed New York voters on the street and Jaboukie Young-White who gave a compelling lesson on how to completely ignore election results. Touché.[video_embed id='2069495']RELATED: Comedians, musicians and doctors react to election night [/video_embed]Stephen Colbert was also spending election night in a secure bunker for his intensely-titled: STEPHEN COLBERT’S ELECTION NIGHT 2020: DEMOCRACY’S LAST STAND: BUILDING BACK AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BETTER 2020 (stream now on Crave). Reads like a Trump tweet doesn't it? Some people want detailed county-by-county election returns; others want Stephen Colbert reacting to those returns in real time. This special was for the latter and seeing as we still don't have a definitive winner, it's still timely.

Jimmy Kimmel and James Corden had their shows pre-empted in favour of election coverage, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t still deliver the mega-LOLs on social media. Jimmy Kimmel was especially spicy on Twitter, making sure there was no confusion as to whom he was poking fun.

Trump shouldn’t be allowed to win a state unless he can find it on a map.

this man should be on TV in the middle of the night doing infomercials for walk-in bathtubs instead

Everyone take a deep breath. Of Carbon Monoxide.

They said every vote counts - they never said when it gets counted

— Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) November 4, 2020

James Corden took a more calm and therapeutic approach to talking about the election, reminding people to look after themselves.

They gotta count every vote.Every last one.Just. Keep. Breathing.This could take a little while.#CountEveryVote

— James Corden (@JKCorden) November 4, 2020

Breathe.Breathe.In through the nose.Out through the mouth.Keep. It. Together. X

— James Corden (@JKCorden) November 4, 2020

That’s really good advice for right now as we wait for a definitive result. Don’t forget to breathe and if you need to, log off. Also watch this video of a dog and a baby goat being best friends.
