The last time the Chicago Cubs won the World Series, late-night comic Jimmy Kimmel joked, human beings were still evolving. So of course a big win deserves a big celebration.

It had been 108 years, but on Wednesday the Cubs finally won the World Series by defeating the Cleveland Indians 8-7, allowing thousands of emotional fans to take a long-awaited victory lap, including one Chicago native who is running for president. Hillary Clinton's victory lap came in the form of a congratulatory tweet. How did notorious tweeter Donald Trump respond? Seth Meyers shows us in today's Punchlines, above. Hint: It involved the word crooked.

And what's the connection between the Cubs and the FBI? Conan O'Brien explains.
