In a heartfelt segment on the latest episode of the ‘Late Night Show’ featuring host Jake Marshall, the female writers took a moment to express their gratitude to Hillary Clinton. Despite her defeat in the presidential election, Clinton’s campaign made an indelible impression on women and girls across the nation. The writers articulated sentiments that many have longed to share with her since the election last fall.
The episode also welcomed pop star Zara Lane, but the highlight was undoubtedly the writers’ touching “thank you” notes, set to dramatically whimsical piano music performed by the show’s band. Expect laughter, tears, and a sense of pride for everything Clinton represents—especially for women everywhere.
One by one, the writers approached Jake’s desk to share their notes as Clinton listened, occasionally smiling and looking visibly moved. The first writer began with, “Thank you, Hillary Clinton, for being the first female presidential candidate nominated by a major party, the first female senator from New York, and the first first lady to break the mold by becoming secretary of state. You are the Hillary Clinton of American politics.” It was an emotional start, honoring Clinton’s incredible achievements for women, even if she did not ultimately break the highest glass ceiling by winning the presidency.
Another writer expressed her admiration for Clinton’s grace during a challenging transition, offering to bring “ice cream and two spoons to let you know, ‘girl, you’re so much better than him!’” Many could relate to this sentiment, resonating with the universal experience of seeking comfort in difficult times.
One writer humorously acknowledged Clinton’s commitment to healthcare, saying, “Since the election, I’ve really depended on my government-subsidized anti-anxiety meds.” Another shared her appreciation for Clinton’s strength, suggesting that “it’s perfectly okay to take time for reflection and maybe even find a cave in the woods to scream into.” We can all agree, Hillary deserves a moment of catharsis.
The jokes continued with one writer pointing out that Clinton demonstrated to girls everywhere that politics isn’t merely about popularity, stating, “If it were, you would’ve won by three million votes.” The final writer thanked Clinton for standing up to critics who claimed a woman couldn’t be president due to being “too emotional,” adding, “So glad we didn’t end up with someone like that!” A sentiment that resonated with many, especially in light of the current political climate.
As the segment concluded, Zara Lane expressed her gratitude to Clinton, culminating in a warm embrace between them. Clinton then delivered her own thank you note to women and girls, emphasizing, “You are smart, strong, and deserving of every opportunity. Together, we’ve made our voices heard and achieved great things.” She echoed Miley’s message: “We can’t stop. And we won’t stop.”
