HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (The Borowitz Report)CNN launched an urgent manhunt Monday after Lester Holt, the moderator of the first Presidential debate of the 2016 general election, mysteriously vanished two minutes into the contest.
Network officials became concerned after the two Presidential nominees, Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton, were observed shrieking at each other nonstop for ninety seconds without intervention from Holt.
The executives alarm spiked when a camera angle intended to show Mr. Holt instead revealed that he was missing from the moderators chair.
CNN immediately notified law enforcement, who started searching the environs of Hofstra University, all while Clinton and Trump continued barking at each other unabated.

lol, what a horrible, horrible moderator performance. They need to double-team Trump. Two minimum next time. One spineless wimp isn't cutting it, unless Holt wants it that way so Trump can interrupt nonstop. Hmmm.
