NEW YORK — Sewage treatment, sea turtles and a depressing condom ad all came up when late-night television hosts united for one night to turn their comic lenses to climate change.
Eight late-night hosts devoted a portion of their programs Wednesday and early Thursday to the issue, part of a Climate Week initiative timed to the United Nations’ General Assembly meeting in New York.
“Don’t even think about switching to another show,” said ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel. “We’re all focused on this topic tonight. You can’t escape. It’s basically an intervention. Our future is in jeopardy.”
In one case, they even combined forces: CBS’ James Corden and NBC’s Seth Meyers used a split-screen to open their 12:30 a.m. shows together.
