Donald Trump‘s Truth Social rants about late night hosts have seen Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers as targets, with each taking more than one moment on their shows to respond to the president’s onslaught.
It’s kind of hard to keep up with Trump’s continuous tirades against the hosts, as Late Night with Seth Meyers regular Amber Ruffin pointed out during her “Amber Says What” segment on Tuesday night’s show.
During her show-favourite news recap, the comedian noted that Trump had taken aim at Meyers yet again in November, posting on his own social media platform, “Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent.” Ruffin was having absolutely none of that, and stuck up for her colleague.
“Someone told me that Trump tweeted about Late Night and I was like, ‘What? I already know that.’ And they were like, ‘No, he did it again.’ And I was like, ‘Whaaaat? This man is obsessed,” she said.
“So this time, Trump said, ‘[Seth] Meyers has no talent,’ and that’s simply not true. Show him Seth.”
Throwing to a nonchalant Meyers, the late night host responded, “Show him what?”
“Show him you can sing!”
“Oh, I don’t sing.”
“Well, show him you can dance!”
“I can’t dance.”
“Seth, you gotta help me out here buddy.”
Meanwhile, David Letterman was over on Jimmy Kimmel Live! also sticking up for his friend.
