think about potentially not having a place in the debates. we had a pretty interesting conversation -- >> i think it sucks. captioning sponsored by comedy central >> larry: tonightly, we are previewing the first debate of the 2016 election. it's debate eve! and i can't wait to see what kind of crazy (bleep) santa trump leaves in my stocking. [ cheers and applause ] >> larry: also, a uva study reveals that cool kids peak too soon. now the authors of the study are now working on their next project, it's titled what does a booby feel like. >> and lenny kravitz exposes his junk to an audience of thousands. and also his penis fell out. this is the nightly show! let's do this!

[ cheers and applause ] >> larry: thank you very much. thank you very much. thank you. welcome to the nightly show. let me tell you guys, there is nothing like getting a one person standing ovation. thank you, sir. (bleep)ing awesome, man. one guy is going, larry. i am larry wilmore. oh, tonight comedians craig robinson and jerrod carmichael will join us on the panel tonight. very exciting. very exciting. hilarious. but first i'd really like to take a moment to acknowledge the man who made this show happen, jon stewart. >> tomorrow jon will host his

final daily show and i want to absolute him for a truly remarkable run. i mean he doesn't have anything lined up at the moment but jon's brother-in-law manages a bennigan's back in jersey, i am just saying. he says they may have some openings at the end of august when kids go back to college so maybe that will turn into something. i don't know. but as a viewer, i am grateful for all the laughs and sanity he has provided over the years. and as a performer i am grateful that he had the confidence to entrust me with this show. and as a citizen, i am really grateful for all he's done helping get healthcare to our veterans and 9/11 first responders. [ cheers and applause ] thank you, jon. we are going to miss you, but difficult. we really are going to miss you, and jon, if you ever want to come to a taping, you know, and hang out, right? just visit the

nightlyshow.com/tickets. and i guarantee they will hook you up, jon. they will hook you up! >> all right. oh. i am so excited you guys, time to get into tonight's election coverage. what is happening with the unblackening? i know, i am actually giddy today. as the special day. it is crazy what the (bleep) is donald trump going to do debate day eve. [ cheers and applause ] >> larry: that's right. man, the first republican debate is tomorrow night. man, i am so excited, literally i cannot contain my excitement, i feel like the leather pants at a lenny kravitz concerts. okay. i know. i know. a couple of things.

number one, that actually did happen. we didn't make that up. number two, i cannot now unsee it. why did he have to show it again and again? why did he do that? by the way that happens wherever lenny kravitz goes. i don't know if you guys -- he was at an olive garden, all hell broke loose. don't touch it, it is not a bread stick, kids. i am just here to report the information. all right. but anyhow, speaking of dick's trying to get airtime, -- [ cheers and applause ] >> larry: oh. thank you very much. who made the final count for the debate? the hottest ticket in the country is no longer available. yes, it's a soldout show in cleveland, this is the lineup, trump, bush, walker, huckabee, carson, cruz, rubio, paul,

christie and kasich. whew, i am out of breath. >> larry: oh, carol costello, you are out of breath? well, you could have saved your breath and stopped after trump. because that's all that i care about. and while donald trump may have an upo monoxide my on america's interest and the riches of the actual monopoly man he does not have a monopoly on crazy, in fact his cray-cray seems to be affecting all the other candidates, have you noticed that? they seem to be upping his cray-cray just to get some attention. show what what i mean, formerly thought to have been the craziest candidate ted cruz. ♪ >> mmmm, machine gun bacon. >> larry: oh, ted cruz.

that seems so reasonable to me now. i mean the barrel does get kind of hot. right? i mean why wouldn't you put some bacon on it, right? i wish you were the craziest one, but you are not. so stop it. because you know what trump said? he said he was going to get the black vote. oh, my god! oh, ah, ha, ha, ha. oh (bleep)! that is so (bleep)ing crazy. he jumped trust you! i am, i mean the machine gun bacon did look crazy. >> besides that, besides that, okay, all right. it is the second most surprising. oh what other candidate is up in the cray-cray. >> you said i like to pump them in the face. at the fascial level who deserves a punch in the face.

>> oh, the national teachers union. >> i have used birth control and not just the rhythm method, okay? so, you know, my church, my church has a teaching against birth control does that make me an awful catholic? >> larry: no. it does not make you an awful catholic. it makes you an awful toastmaster. those people are eating. and it is not just me who feels this way about chris christie, his own supporters have hardened against him. >> that is what he said. thank you, jeb, thank you. >> so they turned against him not for imagining him having sex but for actually seeing him display affection. >> i can't get the picture out of my mind after super storm sandy when obama landed in new jersey and he just cuddled up

right, right up to him. >> i never forgive him for hugging shakedown. >> the shake down to get more money. >> you don't have to embrace him. shake his hand. >> that's right. these people don't forgive chris christie for hugging the president. during a national crisis. it's a hug, people. i mean, are they worried that chris christie is going to catch black if he gets too close? right? it doesn't even make sense. guys, guys, look, i have said it before, and i will say it again, black is 100 percent noncommunicable. you can't catch it from hugging or kissing or sitting on a toilet seat. please read my pamphlet. myths about catching black, a prevention guide for teens and gop candidates. please. okay. so here's the problem. candidates not only can't out

cray trump, they can't even out cray the audience who's voting for trump. and no matter what you say to trump's audience they will not listen to you. >> he changed his views like he changes his underwear. six out of ten people, six out of ten independents already said they will not vote for donald trump. >> i don't care. it doesn't matter. >> he donated to hillary. >> i don't care, i don't care. >> he donated to schumer. >> i don't care. he donated to all of these democrats. >> for the love of god, will someone let hodor speak, please i am just saying. it is very unfair. i want to find out how he feels trump does on giant issues. you know, like waiting periods for those spiky balls that you swing around on a chain. i just want to know. sorry, hodor, you will have to wait. all right, trump supporter is finished being mad about, what is she mad about again?. >> the other republicans better

start making fun of him because they made fun of ronald reagan and i believe donald trump could possibly become the next president of the united states of america. >> you know what? this is the part that actually scares me. okay? it would be easy for me to stereotype trump's supporters as dumb stupid voters who aren't paying attention to issues and are just reacting emotionally. but it is possible they could just be like the joker and just want to watch the world burn. i don't know:i don't know. >> but that's why the republican debate is so important. if the joker wins tomorrow and becomes more popular and continues to rise in the polls, the joke just might be on us. we will be right back. we will be right back.
