FROM FRIGHT NIGHT TO LATE NIGHT: Walker’s “Incredibly Bizarre” Vampires Rant Mocked

Seth Meyers: “I think Herschel Walker’s plan to combat inflation might be that no one in Georgia will need to pay for streaming services anymore.”

Trevor Noah: “Step aside Gettysburg Address. America has the new greatest speech of all time.”

Herschel Walker’s bizarre Fright Night rant has officially made it to Late Night. Walker’s “incredibly bizarre and completely real” speech about “vampires, werewolves, faith, politics, and garlic” is reminding Georgians once again that the Trump-tapped candidate is incredibly unfit to represent them in the U.S. Senate. 

Watch for yourself:

Late Night with Seth Meyers (WATCH):

• Seth Meyers: “Walker is not helping himself as evidenced by this incredibly bizarre and completely real clip from a rally yesterday where Walker told an inscrutable story about watching a movie about vampires and werewolves on TV.”
  
  
• “See if you can follow – best of luck to you – any of this.”
  
  
• “Oh it’s way too late to stay with you. That was by far the worst Rotten Tomatoes synopsis I’ve ever heard. You sound like an eight year old who ate too much sugar on Halloween and stayed up watching TV way past their bedtime.”
  
  
• “Can you imagine someone actually asking that question during a hearing in the Senate chamber? ‘The Chair recognizes the senator from Georgia while also reminding him that this hearing is about agriculture and that our witness is an expert on grain, not vampires.’”
  
  
• “If you were at all worried that the story just abruptly ended there and Walker moved on to something that made more sense, you know, to the voters of Georgia, rest assured he kept going. And the rest of it was just as bizarre. In fact, the story about vampires or whatever was so long, the only way for us to show it to you is through a time lapse.”
  
  
• “I think Herschel Walker’s plan to combat inflation might be that no one in Georgia will need to pay for streaming services anymore, because he’ll just tell you the plots of movies and TV shows.”
  
  
• “If he gets to the Senate [Walker] will be walking around looking for werewolves and vampires hiding in all the corridors.”

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah (WATCH): 

• Trevor Noah: “Step aside Gettysburg Address. America has the new greatest speech of all time. Because you tell me the last time you heard a speech about vampires, werewolves, faith, politics, and garlic.”
  
  
• “I don’t know if Herschel Walker should be a US senator, but he should definitely be elected as America’s official movie reviewer.”
