-Republicans have the majority in the House,
but many people believe that the GOP is so divided and chaotic
that they won't be able to get anything accomplished.
We here at "Late Night" would like to take a look
at some of the more controversial Republican members
in a segment we're calling "Bringing Down the House."
[ Cheers and applause ]
Amid reports that George Santos
lied about his background while campaigning,
many people are calling for him to resign.
Said Santos, "And do what, go back to my old job
as the third baseman for the Miami Marlins?"
[ Laughter ]
-Leave him alone!
-Excuse me?
-Leave him alone!
Haven't we made fun of George Santos enough?
-Well, sir, he is a public figure,
so I think it's okay to make jokes about him.
-Leave him alone. Poor guy.
He's just doing the best he can.
The last thing he needs after making things up all day
is to get home, turn on the TV,
and see you ripping him a new one.
-Yeah, I'm sorry, sir. -Leave him alone.
-And I'm sorry, sir.
Are you a George Santos supporter?
-If I'm a supporter of anything, it's kindness, compassion,
not mean-spirited jokes.
If you have to make fun of somebody, make fun of me.
-I don't even know you.
Why would I make fun of you?
-Well, you could make fun of the fact that every night
my wife likes to hit the sack around 10:00 p.m.
Got so bad, I had to buy an athletic supporter cup.
[ Laughter ]
-I don't want to make fun of that.
Sorry, I just usually tell jokes
about people who are in the news, people like George Santos.
-Oh, sure. Make fun of George Santos.
Have your fun.
Go ahead and say he looks like a life-sized ventriloquist dummy.
-Oh.
That's pretty harsh.
-I know. So leave him alone.
-I'd like to just get back to my jokes.
-Well, you want something to joke about, how about this?
You can make fun of the fact that I fall asleep during sex,
and I've been wide awake for the last 15 years.
[ Laughter ]
-I don't want to make fun of you, sir.
-Are you sure?
Because you could make fun of the fact
that my mom still calls me every Valentine's Day.
-Well, you know what? That sounds nice.
Why would I make fun of that?
-She calls me a lazy lump of crap.
-Alright. That's -- That's pretty bad.
-Well, she's not wrong.
Want something else to joke about?
How about this?
You can make fun of the fact
that I look exactly the same now as I did when I was a baby.
Take a look.
[ Laughter ]
-How did you put that photo up?
Did you give it to the graphics department?
-That's a secret, Seth.
And I don't like to let the cat out of the bag.
So I keep it in here when I take it out.
[ Cat yowling ]
It makes him very angry.
-Will you please just sit back down?
-Are you going to leave him alone?
-No.
-Well, then I will remain upright
and put my tray table in its locked position.
-You aren't making any sense.
-And you aren't making any jokes.
-Ugh! -Ugh!
If you want something to joke about, joke about this.
You can make fun of the fact
that I pronounce the month "Fu-bru-ary" "Fu-bru-ary."
-I would really like to just continue my show.
-Fine. Get back to your George Santos jokes.
But you know what I'd say to that?
-Leave him alone? -Leave him alone!
If you want to make fun of somebody, make fun of me,
or make fun of this lady sitting next to me.
She seems nice now,
but earlier when I asked her to scratch my back,
she was a real ass[bleep] about it.
-Do not talk to the other audience members.
-Fine.
Then I'll leave her alone.
Uh-oh.
Oh, no!
Looks like the cat got out of the bag.
Don't worry, audience.
He only has ringworm and rabies.
-Will you please get out of here?
-Okay. I'll go.
But remember, kids...
-Leave him alone.
Wink. [ Tink! ]
