Overview
- In a Truth Social post, President Donald Trump labeled Seth Meyers a "ratings disaster" and urged NBC to fire the Late Night host "IMMEDIATELY."
- FCC Chair Brendan Carr reposted Trump’s message on X without comment shortly after it was published, echoing his recent public posture toward late-night programming.
- The repost prompted objections from across the political spectrum, with critics warning that government officials should not influence network employment or content decisions.
- NBC and Meyers did not immediately comment, and there has been no FCC enforcement move or corporate personnel action announced.
- Meyers’ recent monologues included jabs over newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails and other Trump-related issues, sharpening a broader debate over free speech and the FCC’s limited authority over broadcast content.
