President Donald Trump is by far the target of more late-night TV host’s jokes than his opponent, Joe Biden, according to a new study obtained by the Associated Press.
From Sept. 1-30, 455 of the quips Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon told about the presidential candidates during their opening monologues targeted Trump versus 14 focused on Biden, per the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University. That means POTUS was the butt of 97% of the “Late Show” and “Tonight Show” hosts’ jokes.
And that’s just counting the witty remarks directly aimed at Trump, not the 64 jokes combined that Colbert and Fallon made about Trump’s family and his administration, according to George Mason’s study.
