Throughout all of 2023, the late night comedians told a total of 9,518 political jokes, and of these 7,729 or 81 percent were directed at someone or something on the right side of the political spectrum, an MRC study has found.

From January 3 through December 22, MRC analysts analyzed all six of the daily late night shows: Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden until its April cancellation.

A complete breakdown of all 9,518 jokes can be found here, but detailed below is a summary of all six shows both collectively and individually, but first here is a montage put together by NewsBusters media editor Bill D’Agostino that summarizes the type of jokes told in 2023 inspired by the worst late night moments of the year.
