00:00Counting votes is not finding votes.

00:03They're not scanning the beach with a metal detector.

00:05This isn't a scavenger hunt.

00:06Seth Meyers was among the late night hosts

00:08to comment on the election thus far

00:10on their Wednesday night shows.

00:12On NBC's Late Night, Meyers took Fox News to task

00:15for running with President Donald Trump's lies

00:17concerning the incoming 2020 election results.

00:20Meyers said he was disgusted with everything kicking off

00:22when Trump attempted to declare

00:24an early victory late Tuesday night.

00:26And sure enough, Fox News picked up

00:27on Trump's line of bull .

00:29Meyers went on to highlight what Dana Perino,

00:31former press secretary under President George W. Bush,

00:33said on Fox News.

00:35All of a sudden, you're gonna find 100,000 votes

00:37that just happen to be in some trash can behind a thing.

00:39I think that's what he was talking about.

00:41You ghouls love your evidence-free musings, don't you?

00:44He went on to say this.

00:46There's literally no proof for what you're saying.

00:48These people are so insane, they think election officials

00:51are finding ballots the way George Costanza

00:53found that eclair.

00:54On ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live,

00:55the host had this to say about the past 24 hours.

00:58For me, and I'm sure for many of you,

01:00the past 24 hours have been a polar coaster

01:04of emotions and nausea.

01:06Clarifying that nothing was official yet

01:08as of Wednesday night,

01:09Kimmel pointed to Biden leaning toward a victory

01:11with the Electoral College.

01:12Everyone seems to know it.

01:14Everyone except for Donald Trump.

01:17This is a fraud on the American public.

01:20Kimmel went on to call Trump initiating lawsuits

01:22in multiple states where he is behind in the polls

01:24or even ahead, quote, unbelievable.

01:27The host later said this.

01:28I have to say, I'm very happy and relieved that we,

01:31it looks like we're finally sending this monster back

01:34to Mar-a-Lago, but I'm also, yes, go ahead.

01:38And over on TBS, Samantha Bee gave her take on Full Frontal.

01:42She kicked off her show like this.

01:43Hi, welcome to Who the Hell Knows What's Going On?

01:46I'm, I don't even know anymore.

01:48Ladies and gentlemen, our long national nightmare

01:51is still going or maybe not, I don't know.

01:54And Bee opened up about her expectations

01:56of the night's show and where we are now.

01:58Like many of you, we were hoping that tonight's show

02:00would be a celebration of a huge victory,

02:03but we also feared that it would be a funeral for democracy.

02:06Instead, we're kind of in a horrifying middle,

02:09which sucks, I know.

02:10For much more of what the late night hosts had to say,

02:14For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Tiffany Taylor.
