Overview

• During Tuesday's Late Night, guest Kumail Nanjiani read Trump's Truth Social post aloud and joked that Meyers had "finally" reached the president's radar.
• Trump called Meyers "one of the least talented" late-night hosts with "no ratings, talent, or intelligence" and "the personality of an insecure child."
• Meyers smiled through the reading, quipped that Trump combined insults previously aimed at other hosts, and then moved the conversation back to Nanjiani.
• Deadline and other outlets reported in May 2024 that NBC extended Meyers' contract through 2028, contradicting Trump's reference to a "sick rumor" of a renewal.
• The episode fits a months-long pattern of presidential attacks on late-night figures, including Trump's public celebration of Stephen Colbert's July cancellation.
