There was only supposed to be one debate this year between the candidates for vice president, but magically, Seth Meyers was able to hold a second one on Thursday's Late Night.
Through the wonders of editing, Meyers served as moderator, asking weird questions in order to use real responses from Mike Pence and Tim Kaine out of context. Meyers "asked" Pence how he first met the Trump children ("the cornfield in my backyard") and to check out the sombrero he put on ("you whipped out that Mexican thing again"). As for Kaine, Meyers inquired how we ended up with "two of the most unlikeable candidates in modern history" ("I guess we're stupid") and what he would say to wild teens who stole his minivan ("go ahead, folks, enjoy yourselves").
