In New Hampshire seems incumbent democrat and worlds shortest poem Jeanne Shaheen has defeated former massachusetts senator and man who claims he never heard of massachusetts scott brown.

Folks, of course, you know all my cable news colleagues out there are bringing it hot and hard tonight. Fox news coming out blazing with a secret weapon so secret they wont stop talking about it. I had researched pulled for me. We had the fox news brain room come up with statistics for us. I checked with the brain room. I brain roomed there. Our crack team in the brain room. I had the brain room back.

Theyve announced live on air during midterm coverage chris hayes will go through puberty puberty. Good luck, chris. Explore your body. Perfectly natural.

Looks like we have a call in minnesota where democratic senator al franken will stay put in the senate. So either hes going a great job or minnesotans are too polate to ask him to leave. In mississippi, thad cochran has beaten democrat travis childers. Im surprised we got the results this quickly since by law the ballots must be counted one mississippi, two mississippi, three mississippi, so on. applause moving to alaska between begich and sullivan, polls do not those till after midnight east coast time but colbert report watchers have the right to know before anyone else so hear me hear me allseeing ones drink now my blood take now my soul cheers and applause arrrrg who won the Alaska Senate race .

Second of all, theyre light and fluffy, topped with pumpkin whipped cream and Cinnamon Sugar and only 4. 99. [bell rings] waitress welcome to dennys cheers and applause stephen welcome back, everybody thanks so much folks, i want to remind you all again the tonight show is live, and that includes the commercials you just saw. I hope none of them went off script like that shameful episode where the pillsbury doughboy talked about white power. laughter in Election Results, in wisconsins tight governors race between democrat mary burke and incumbent scott walker, it has been called for walker but ill role pair and say walker won again. For democrats, that may be hard to swallow but not as hard as milwaukees best. laughter of course, well have more results later, as one may imagine.

While the rest of the news only uses sites like twitter and facebook, ive got the latest buzz on linkedin where im tracking which Democratic Senators are now looking for a job and if rick still wants me to join leave me alone, rick i do not wish to connect with you i am also checking midterm coverage on airbnb, uber, fandango and adult friend finder.

You want i fix this mess . A mess . I dont think whats that . Snapshot from progressive. Plug it in, and you can save on Car Insurance based on your good driving. You sell to me . No, its free. You want to try . I try this if you try. Not this. Okay. Da cheers and applause stephen welcome back, everybody looking at the latest results, it has been a good night so far for republicans. Some of them are even still awake to celebrate it. And it is official, the g. O. P. Has taken the senate and everything is about to change. Conservatives have big plans for this country. Just ask the liberals. If republicans win, the wild men will be coming out for blood. Theyll try to kill obamacare. Forget immigration reform, theyll want higher border fences. You will have a huge push to open public lands for drilling. You can count on president obama being impeached. Stephen oh, you can count on obama being impeached because conservatives like me can hardly wait to swear in president biden. Oh, god. Oh, no. The point is, this is the most significant election of my or anyones lifetime. Here to agree with me, Andrew Sullivan, everybody whoo andrew applause good to see you, my friend. How are you . Great. Stephen it must be a rough night for you. Can i get you a drink or something stronger like a revolver . How are you dealing with this crushing defeat for the democrats . Well, you know, its a Midterm Election in the second term of a president and stephen always the most important. Well with, normally you would expect them to gain about seven seats and looks like theyll gain roughly around that. So its not out of the ordinary for mid term in the second term of a president. Stephen whatever lets you cry yourself to sleep at night. laughter do you still support obama . Absolutely. Stephen but the democrats didnt support obama, they didnt they ran away from the president , and look how it helped them. Yes. laughter im not a democrat, never understood the democratic party. You have a president whos actually got a terrific economic record compared to any other developed nation on the planet. applause stephen thats why youre not a real conservative because we dont compare ourselves to other nations. Theres the United States and then just other places. Heres what i dont understand about the deocratic party. You have a president enact universal Health Insurance which is their goal for 40 years and they run away from that achievement and refuse to talk about it. Theyre weakkneed, lilylivered cowards when it comes to fighting the fight. I am psychologically republican but i am supporting this democratic president because i think he has done an amazing job in the circumstances. cheers and applause stephen okay. So what do you think this means now for politics in washington . Because now obama cant get anything done, as opposed to the current state of affairs when he doesnt get anything done. In some ways, i think the most significant thing tonight is not the senate but the house, the gains the republicans have made in the house. Stephen what are they . I havent paid any attention. I dont know the exact numbers now. Stephen you dont know and i dont know. Lets inform and influence each other realtime. They gained chuck argued they may not be gotten rid of in the house until 2022, which means any president from now on will have to deal with an extremely conservative house of representatives. Stephen i hear the problem from people who think about these things is the democrats dont come out and vote in midterms. Low turnout favors the republicans. What can we do to get more americans to vote . Should we have the i voted stickers deep fried . Because right now theyre pretty tasteless cheers and applause next election is the first election as an immigrant ill be able to actually vote. Stephen do you have your citizenship now . Not yet. It will come through in the next year and ill be able to vote. Stephen andrew, thank you so much for joining me Andrew Sullivan well be right back cheers and applause vo you get used to pet odors in your car.

Stephen well, thats it for tonights report. But more importantly, thats it for the 2014 midterms, but most importantly, thats it for my years of live election coverage. So, id like to take a brief moment before we go to say thank you. And also thank me. laughter counting my time on the daily show with jon daily and the daily zoo crew, weve been getting together like this since 2000. Who can forget that one . Bush v chad. If youre counting, thats 8 live election shows in 14 years. Makes sense since 14 divided by 2 is 8. laughter i have so many memories. Mostly shapes and colors. Theres been a fair amount of drinking. As i leave you for the last time, id like to share what ive learned with future generations as well as the aliens from zafrax5 who find this show on the golden cylinders launched into space moments before the earth explodes. Hi guys please remember that whoever won this election, the republicans, someone else is always running against somebody sometime or other. One of them wins, the other loses. Some are too close to call. You need to check back later and find out who won. You forget by the time wills already another election. Im sure they write down who the governor of north dakota is somewhere. I couldnt find it. But most of us arent going to feed need that information. We go about our lives secure in the knowledge that north dakota has a governor or equivalent. laughter but you know what ill always remember . The hard working men and women of broadcast news who told us who won that governors race. Men and women like stephen colbert. cheers and applause thats it, folks tonight marks a sort of farewell for me. Maybe some day you will see me on tv again and you will nudge your spouse and say, hey, i remember that guy. I used to love him. Maybe i will buy his slap chop. So thats it for the report. Ill end by saying its been a pleasure and privilege to have been welcomed into your home these last night years. So to you and yours, ill say a fond whats that . Another month and a half of shows . laughter well, then, this was a little too dramatic. laughter im sorry. Ill see you tomorrow im embarrassed wow cheers and applause captioning sponsored by Comedy Central captioned by Media Access Group at wgbh access. Wgbh.
