Seth Meyers unpacks the weirdest moments from last night's Democratic presidential debate
Watch Next

Well, we're really into it now. The second night of the first Democratic presidential debate of the 2020 election went down on Thursday, and just like the first night, a lot happened.

Luckily, late show hosts are all over it, like Seth Meyers who took "A Closer Look" at Thursday night's debate on Late Night.

It's a 20-minute rundown but there's a lot to unpack, from Joe Biden's "centrist" hand-raising to Marianne Williamson's oddball answers.

"Williamson didn't get a lot of time tonight and she's probably not going to be in the race for very long, but we will always have her closing statement from tonight, which was less of a statement and more of a reading from a one-person show titled When You Harness Love, Love Will Win," said Meyers of Williamson's comments, which were directed at Trump.

"The four people who did not qualify for these debates watched that and thought whaaaat?" he added. Yeah, we thought it too.
