While all the late night hosts rejoiced on their Wednesday shows over Democrats’ Tuesday election victories, the eponymous hosts of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers were especially eager to promote socialist Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral victory.

Meanwhile, over at ABC, Kimmel was eager to use Mamdani’s victory to engage in one of his favorite traditions: calling Republicans racist. He huffed, “It's a day after Election Day. You know, there were elections in 39 states yesterday. It was a big night for Democrats, who let's be honest—I’m glad it was because we needed a big night. Democrats have had fewer wins this year than the Jets, and so the Democrats won everything. They won big races on the East Coast, they won the little ones in the South and New York City, Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor with more than 50 percent of the vote. Which means your racist aunt and uncle have a new name to mispronounce this Thanksgiving.”
