Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump aren’t the only runners in this year’s presidential race.

With 1,928 people declaring their candidacy for the 2016 election, “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert took a look at some of the more unconventional applicants for the top job on Friday night.

Contenders calling themselves “Cobra Commander,” “Yoda StarWars” and “God” have all registered themselves on the Federal Election Commission’s website, according to the comedian. 

“That’s great news,” he said. “I was worried this election was proof there is no God.”

“God” then went on to make an appearance on the show, revealing to Colbert the reasons for the presidential run, running mate possibilities and who may be endorsed.
