New York (CNN Business) Presidential candidates squared off in the second Democratic debate on Tuesday night and late night comedy shows went live to discuss them.

Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" opened its live broadcast on Tuesday night with host Trevor Noah welcoming viewers with a segment titled, "Democratic Debate 2: 2 Fast 2 Furious 2 Many Candidates."

"This was a truly important night for America, a night where the nation tuned in to watch one man emerge from a giant field of candidates and achieve a hard-fought victory," Noah said. "That's right, tonight was 'The Bachelorette' finale."

Noah then broke down how CNN's Democratic debate was structured and formatted, saying the broadcast began with an "endless stream of all of the Democratic candidates shaking hands with each other" and that it "took forever."
