Desi is such a great host; she delivers a mix of comedy, outrage, and sobriety as well as any late night host from the last decade.

"Identifying as the center of attention" Nailed it.

“Working on getting actual predators in office”…perfectly said. Thanks Desi.

[nickluce]

You're the best, Desi! Keep doing what you do! You make this country slightly tolerable!

[navneetk]

Thanks for calling out the hypocrisy and cruelty of such people, Desi and team! Excellent job keeping us informed and entertained!

It was never about the bathrooms, just as it was never about the water fountains in the 1950s. The point is not to protect anyone, but to punish people they don't like.

[Zenithx]

If only closed minds came with closed mouths.

300+ tweets about that...? Could you imagine being married to that red flag?

[SolunaStarlight]

With how vehemently they're already attacking McBride, I am so worried about what is going to happen 59 days from now, especially here in Texas

[AndyAcker]

"Yes, of course, you just want to protect women from hypothetical predators... That would play a lot better if you weren't trying to get ACTUAL predators into the highest levels of government."

Slam dunk, Desi. Slam dunk!

As a trans woman, I don't like using public restrooms that aren't single-user. I'm facing harassment in both rooms and I am not physically safe using the men's room. At this point, with the current environment, I would welcome the third option. Put a single user room between the multi-occupancy rooms. We both win. You don't get to claim that I'm a thretressat to you, and I don't have to talk to or be around you. Best part: Because it is single user, I truly can just go in peace without anyone bothering me.

[JMcMillen]

I wonder how Nancy would feel when trans-men have to start using the women's facilities. People like her never think of the other half of that equation.

[speedracermatt]

So Johnson "wants" Sarah McBride to join him in the men's room? 🤔

[mattmanley]

Desi is a great host she’s so quick witted .

Always fantastic!!

[daisydy]

Love that "Ta-dah!" ending... you're the best Desi!

[ohelizabethohdavid]

Desi, you are the BEST! Thank you SO MUCH! Keep calling these clowns out.

[andreaskarlsson]

I always watch the clips when Desi hosts. Love the comedy she delivers!American politics is gonna be a comedy goldmine for the the next 4 years.

[abthedragon]

As a Delawarean I'm rooting for Sarah McBride and I admire how she's responding to all the transphobia she's getting and will continue to get with "look here, I'm just trying to do my job, you're the one making a fool out of yourself."

[roxelmillian]

"starting a new job and a woman at work just decides to hate you"
True. 🙃

[Gonzochemist-ghsb]

Absolutely love Desi….smart, sharp, and biting comedic delivery … a worthy carrier of the torch!
