Late Night host Seth Meyers delivered a witty response to former President Donald Trump after receiving what he called a thoughtful piece of fan mail over the weekend.
The Truth Social Outburst
The conflict began on Saturday when Trump took to his Truth Social platform to demand that NBC fire Meyers immediately. The former president referenced an episode that was viewed last night, claiming the host displayed uncontrollable rage.
Meyers expressed confusion during his Monday monologue about what specifically triggered Trump this time. The late night host noted that Trump has recently fixated on a joke about aircraft carrier catapults that Meyers had previously made.
The Repeat Episode Mystery Solved
The host quickly solved the mystery of Trump's latest complaint. Our Friday show was a repeat, Meyers explained. Which repeat? The catapult show. So it was the catapults again!
Meyers emphasized the absurdity of Trump getting angry about the same content during a rebroadcast. The president can't get mad a second time for the same thing when it's in a repeat, the comedian stated.
A Friends-Themed Comparison
To illustrate his point, Meyers drew a clever parallel to the popular television show Friends. That would be like Rachel getting mad at Ross for cheating on her every time someone watched that episode on streaming, he quipped.
The host added a playful defense of Trump's position, noting and in his defense, he thought they were on a break! referencing the famous Friends storyline about Ross and Rachel's relationship status.
This marks the latest chapter in the ongoing tension between Trump and late-night television hosts, with Meyers becoming the latest target of the former president's social media criticism.
