Seth Meyers Responds to Donald Trump's Criticism with Subtle Humor
The late-night host addressed the president-elect's Truth Social rant without mentioning him directly, continuing their years-long public feud.
- Donald Trump criticized Seth Meyers on Truth Social, calling him 'dumb and untalented' and targeting NBC and its parent company Comcast for alleged political bias.
- Meyers responded indirectly during his 'Closer Look' segment, using humor to address Trump's apparent viewership of his show despite their antagonistic relationship.
- The president-elect's post suggested that Comcast should face consequences for what he described as 'in-kind contributions' to the Democratic Party through its programming.
- Meyers has been a vocal critic of Trump for years, with their public tension dating back to the comedian's roast of Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner.
- Trump's criticism of media figures and organizations is part of a broader pattern, including recent lawsuits against CBS News and Disney over alleged defamation.
