Due to filming schedules, not all late night comedy shows are reacting live to the Republican National Convention which means that ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest host Anthony Anderson was reacting to night one on Tuesday when he labeled Sen. Tim Scott an “Uncle Tom” for his speech in support of Donald Trump on Monday.

Anderson set the stage for his attack on Scott earlier in his monologue, “Now, the other major league event this week is the Republican National Convention. Also known as the White People's Choice Awards.”

After a brief digression to joke about Speaker Mike Johnson’s teleprompter malfunctioning, Anderson turned to Scott, “Last night was when the delegates officially nominated Trump, which means there was a lot of ass-kissing on display. But no one kissed more ass than the senator from South Carolina, Tim Scott.”
