Late Night

Through the first four weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term, the late night comedians have told 761 jokes about him. By contrast, in 2021, during President Joe Biden’s first four weeks in office, the late night comedians told a total of 88 jokes about the new chief executive, according to an MRC study.

CNN primetime host and White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins appeared on Thursday's Late Night with Seth Meyers and whimsically discussed how world leaders make fun of Trump for dragging them into hour-long news conferences, which is not the norm with the press. She implied how anti-Trump the reporters are by saying it was like "blood in the water" and "total mayhem" when they…

On Tuesday, White House Correspondents' Association President Eugene Daniels of Politico announced that Late Night with Seth Meyers writer Amber Ruffin will be this year’s featured comedian at the organization’s annual dinner.

NBC’s Seth Meyers was greatly displeased with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Monday’s episode of Late Night after he argued Democrats need to be like baseball star Aaron Judge and choose which pitches to swing at.  Meyers, on the other hand, demanded that Democrats “get your bat off your [bleep] shoulder” because “Trump is barraging us with such an intense fuselage of non-…

NBC’s Seth Meyers gushed over Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Wednesday’s installment of Late Night when he recalled how she has managed to clear the lowest of bars by claiming she will not automatically refuse all cooperation with the Trump Administration. According to Meyers, this showed “how much you care” about the people of Michigan.

First, it was Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday, then it was Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, and then finally it was NBC’s Seth Meyers on Thursday to round out the late night comedy shows’ staggered reaction to Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s woke plea to President Donald Trump. Unlike the other two, Meyers played a much shorter clip of Budde’s talk on Late Night that removed the context for why…

When the late night comedy shows took to the air on Monday to lament Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, three main themes emerged. The first was that Trump is going to be a national nightmare. The second was that they have gone all in on embracing former President Joe Biden’s “oligarchy” warnings. Finally, it was deemed ironic that Inauguration Day happened to fall on Martin Luther King…

As President-elect Donald Trump brings attention to the fact that NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers is basically just MSNBC with silly metaphors, show writer Amber Ruffin joined the Tuesday show to recall an incident several days prior where Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer’s husband, Bruce, did not shake Vice President Kamala Harris’s hand during her swearing-in photo-op. Instead of…

NBC’s Seth Meyers and Comedy Central’s Desi Lydic both attacked President-elect Donald Trump on their respective Thursday editions of Late Night and The Daily Show for politicizing the Los Angeles wildfires with his attacks on President Joe Biden and Gov. Gavin Newsom. Both argued such attacks were not only unseemly but factually wrong; however, both blamed climate change for…

After a strike-shortened 2023, 2024 was a busy year for the late night comedians. During the last year, the men of late night told a total of 13,676 political jokes, of which 11,226, or 82 percent, were directed at someone or something on the right side of the political aisle, an MRC study has found.

Now, it can be told. President Joe Biden wasn’t capable of discharging his duties as Commander in Chief for large swathes of his single-term presidency. New reporting from The Wall Street Journal shared some, but not all, of the shocking details.

It is not just the hosts that make the late night comedy shows another part of the liberal media. It is also their guests. Throughout 2024, the late night shows’ guests slanted heavily left and provided plenty of outrageous moments, but, first a more humorous honorable mention.

President-elect Donald Trump rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange after being named Time’s person of the year on Thursday, and NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers was not happy about it. Meyers claimed the whole thing proved Trump’s attempts to appeal to working people are fraudulent and claimed it was “frustrating” that voters fell for it.

More than his contemporaries, NBC’s host Seth Meyers thinks of himself as more of a thinking man’s comedian who wants to discuss policy and real issues. However, on Wednesday’s Late Night, Meyers accused Donald Trump of lying during the campaign about helping working people but only ended up proving he doesn’t know how tax cuts work.
