#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Awards The Nobel Peace Prize To President Trump
Seth Meyers is nothing if not a fair man. To begin his Wednesday monologue, Meyers offers rare praise to President Trump for attempting to broker peace on the Korean Peninsula. Things have been going pretty well, well enough that the North and South Koreans scheduled another round of diplomatic talks in May. The comic surprises […]
No, Mr. President, The Roast Must Go On
Only Donald Trump could manage to justify the continued existence of the White House Correspondents Association dinner, a springtime ritual of journalistic self-indulgence that might just as well have ended years ago. By declaring the dinner “DEAD”– after yet another humiliating comic takedown of him and his enablers – the president is testing his authoritarian […]
#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Proves Trump Pee Tape Is Real
To many observers, President Donald Trump remains a mystery wrapped in an enigma. But the truth about Trump is often right there in front of us, peeing on our heads in a Moscow hotel room. Seth Meyers has had enough charades. In today’s clip, Meyers brings up an old quote from Trump that he says […]
#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Imagines Cheesy Trump Lawyer Ad
Seth Meyers reviews the latest sexual and Twitter embarrassments besetting the president, including the absurd senescent call-out battle between him and Joe Biden.

Devin Nunes (R-CA), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, whose paranoid cliff-notes on the Trump-Russia investigation are about to be released to the public in the […]
#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Gives Trump Just Enough Phone Cord To Trip Over
Sometimes, fake news comes in a photo. The White House not-so-cleverly released an image of President Trump “working” during the government shutdown. It’s an obviously-staged shot of an obviously not-at-work Trump, showing the POTUS at an empty desk in an empty Oval Office. There’s nothing and no one around, except for the phone he’s supposedly […]
#EndorseThis: Dark Russian Comedy With Donald Trump Junior
Evenhanded in his political scorn, Seth Meyers cracks wise about Al Franken, whose forced resignation from the Senate in the wake of sexual harassment allegations clearly disappointed his old friend. But then Meyers moves on briskly to a target who must inspire far less ambivalent feelings: Donald Trump Jr. During eight hours of closed testimony […]
#EndorseThis: In Watergate Sequel, Which Role Will Kushner Play?
The Russia probe increasingly resembles the worst days of Watergate: A crooked Attorney General who suffers from catastrophic memory loss; top White House aides who similarly cannot “recollect” their own incriminating activities; other top aides (or former top aides) talking with prosecutors and Congressional investigators; and a president in denial about his own grim prospects. […]
#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Scorches Trump And Junior Over Wikileaks
Now that we know Donald Trump, Jr., secretly communicated with Wikileaks during the 2016 presidential campaign, it may be slightly harder for the president to distance himself from accusations of collusion in the Russia probe. Nor did Trump senior didn’t help himself by declaring his faith in Vladimir Putin’s denial that the Kremlin interfered in […]
#EndorseThis: Are Corker And Flake Heroes? Seth Meyers Thinks Not
Lionized for denouncing the authoritarian, plainly deranged president, Senators Bob Corker and Jeff Flake are a pair of unlikely heroes. After all, as Seth Meyers recalls, they were all too happy to support Donald Trump for president last year — long after the casino developer’s personality and political defects were obvious. Now Corker complains that […]
#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Looks Hard At Trump, Pence, And Corker Too
Of all the unintentionally hilarious moments in Mike Huckabee’s groveling interview with Donald Trump (his daughter Sarah’s boss) Seth Meyers picks up what may be the funniest. Stumbling in his diction as always, the president claims he never heard anyone use the word “fake” before he did — an assertion Seth finds impossible to believe […]
#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Tracks ‘Moron’ To Puerto Rico And Beyond
Of all the embarrassing moments during Trump’s trip to Puerto Rico, Seth Meyers thinks the most revealing was his conversation with a woman distributing water purification tablets at a church. Not only did the president sound rudely insensitive to the desperation of those who must drink purified water — but he seemed to suspect that […]
#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Lambastes Trump Over Puerto Rico Crisis
Among the primary responsibilities of any American president is to reassure and comfort suffering citizens in time of disaster — a test that Donald Trump fails miserably, as when he tweeted a reminder to Puerto Rico that its government “owes money to Wall Street.” Duly outraged by Trump’s dim response to the humanitarian crisis on […]
#EndorseThis: In Storms’ Wake, Can America Rely On Ben Carson? Don’t Ask
With thousands of federal workers engaged in ongoing rescue and recovery efforts in Florida, Texas, and across the region battered by recent hurricanes, Americans will soon be looking to Washington for vital assistance in rebuilding – as provided by government after hurricanes Katrina and Sandy. But much of that hope resides in the Department of […]
#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Blows Away White House Storm Response
Praising the Coast Guard rescue effort or lamenting the impact of Florida flooding shouldn’t be too demanding for the White House. But this is the Trump White House, where the president babbles about “branding,” the social media guru is highly experienced as a golf caddy, and everybody denies climate change. None of this clowning impressed […]

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore painted an optimistic picture for the Democratic party as a guest on Seth Meyers’s Late Night on Thursday.
#EndorseThis: The Origin Story Of Anthony Atamanuik’s Trump Impression

#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Talks To The New York AG Who Sued Trump University
It’s a tall task to get anyone to watch a late-night comedy show with special guest: a government lawyer. Unless that government lawyer is Eric Schneiderman, the New York attorney general who filed a successful $40 million civil lawsuit against Trump University. For Schneiderman’s efforts, now-President Donald Trump directed a characteristically ham-fisted Twitter tantrum @AGSchneiderman.
#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Translates Trumpcare’s Language Of Lies
Seth Meyers is an honest man, but he can speak the prevaricating lingo of the Republicans, also known as big lies. When HHS Secretary Tom Price or Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) spin the latest version of the “health care bill,” Meyers translates those whoppers with ease. (Cassidy’s slippery defense of the Senate bill is especially […]
#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Trolls Kushner, Trump, And Sekulow
These aren’t fun times for Donald Trump, who felt disappointed when the nation didn’t rise up to sing “Happy Birthday” in unison as he turned 71 last week. He even got dissed in the Oval Office by the president of Panama,who muttered “100 years ago” when Trump sounded as if he was taking credit for […]
#EndorseThis: Kate McKinnon Nails That Sessions Impression
There is no more talented comic actor working today than Kate McKinnon, the Saturday Night Live star renowned for her portrayal of Kellyanne Conway. But she also does a mean Jeff Sessions impression — and admits that he’s her favorite. So McKinnon felt slightly frustrated this week when the attorney general showed up to defend […]
#EndorseThis: Watch Seth Meyers Freeze-Frame Jeff Sessions
Commenting on Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ Senate Intelligence Committee testimony on Tuesday, Meyers flashes back to his earlier appearance before the before the Judiciary Committee, when he wrongly told Senator Al Franken (D-MN) that he’d had no contact with Russian officials in 2016. Meyers freezes the camera on Sessions’ face after that exchange — a moment that is worth the click all by itself.
