During Late Night's first ever Democratic presidential debate, Seth Meyers asked all the tough questions — just not to the actual candidates. Since Meyers couldn't get Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O'Malley all together in one room, he had to improvise, and took sound bites from their last debate and manipulated them to work with his queries (example: "Sen. Sanders, what would you be doing right now if you weren't running for president?" "Hanging around on street corners, potentially getting into trouble"). Half of the fun is wondering what question the senator from Vermont was asked originally that made him say "Hanging around on street corners, potentially getting into trouble." Watch the video below.
