The most straightforward late-night host has remained silent in Joe Biden’s recent revelations of cognitive decline after Joe Biden’s years-long comfort relationship with the former president.
Reports by CNN's "Original Sin" author and Jake Tapper of Axios' Alex Thompson sparked political fires, with critics targeting Biden's defenders in the Democratic Party and his allies in the media aiming to cover up the cover up.
According to Grabien's transcript, although the book has already attracted all headlines, freelance comedian Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers have not mentioned any revelation.
Colbert and Kimmel are so staunch supporters of Biden that they both announced a star-studded campaign fundraiser in 2024 before Biden was forced to quit the presidential race after a disastrous debate performance.

Credibility crisis: Media embraces Biden's account of "cheap fakes" in the White House. A debate about bad fate
It is worth noting that Kimmel hosted the now-occupied Los Angeles fundraiser, which was highlighted in "The Original Sin" and Biden did not seem to have exchanged Celebrity Fundraiser co-host George Clooney in the backstage. Kimmel can also be seen in a viral video of Biden freezing on stage and accompanied by former President Barack Obama.
At the time, Kimmel insisted that he didn't.
"There's a clip from Joe Biden today. They said he's frozen and had to be with the stage on Saturday night. I'm standing next to him. He's not frozen. He's just trying to say "right-wing media" and "try to announce "biden of the biden of the of the of the thes of the thes of the thes of the of the,"'

Liberal masters welcome Biden for friendly interviews, the last time “Late Night with Seth Meyers” in February 2024. Meyers gently raised the subject of Biden’s age and quickly turned to other topics.
Special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated Biden’s misconduct in confidential documents, wrote in the report that he refused to file a lawsuit against the former president in part because the jury may not have thought he was a “sympathetic, good old man who had a poor memory and therefore might not have felt guilty.”
His report mentions how Biden doesn’t remember critical dates, such as the death of his son Beau or when he was vice president. Earlier this month, a recording of Hur's interview with Biden was released, leading many critics to say that Hur actually sat down in October 2023 to downplay Biden's struggles.
When Hur first published his discovery, the late night host either fired or ignored the damn report.

Colbert mocked Hur for discovering Biden was an "old" "bombshell" revelation.
Colbert responded: "A little bit off the report on confidential documents." "We did a fact check last Thursday and it turned out that Joe Biden was old. I said double checks, and today, it turned out that he was older."
"It's true, Hull's diplomatic description of the president strengthens many voters' attention to his seniority. But we are where we are. Unless something drastic happens, Biden and Trump. Voters will have to choose "sympathetic, kind, kind older man with poor memory", or a despicable, malicious older man's memory of the poor.

Meyers called Hur's comments "a useless assumption" and stressed that Hur was a "Republican lawyer" and "originally appointed by Trump."
"If the proper language in the legal discovery is appropriate, then prosecutors may do the same to Trump," Meyers said.

Meyers insisted that Hur's description of Biden "contradicts the transcript" and admitted that he told the president in an interview with Biden that he had "photographic understanding and memories" of his house.
"Wait, sorry, Joe Biden has photography understanding and memories, but you didn't put it in the report? Why?" Meyers responded in an incredible way in April 2024 monologue. "It's more shocking than saying he has a poor memory. I don't want to remember some names or dates at all."
Colbert and Meyers both shrugged likewise, and the Wall Street Journal’s Biden report showed in June 2024, weeks before Biden’s bad fortune debate. Colbert laughed at the journal and its discovery and said the paper thought that “the elderly are the elderly” was making news.”
"The Wall Street Journal published an article yesterday claiming that "Biden" seemed to glide in a private meeting." He kept saying crazy things like "a convicted felon beat me in a poll," Meyers joked.

Meanwhile, Kimmel completely avoided the HUR report and the Wall Street Journal report.
However, the ABC hosts are really trying to make sure Biden will replace baking conservatives in the Democratic vote and “little makes sense” for the days of Biden’s debate.
