Overview

  • Posting on Truth Social around 2 a.m. ET, President Trump claimed there was a 'sick rumor' NBC extended Seth Meyers and said he would 'definitely be finding out.'
  • NBC announced in May that Meyers’ 'Late Night' deal runs through 2028, and outlets report no new talks tied to the rumor Trump referenced.
  • Trump insulted Meyers as having 'no Ratings, Talent, or Intelligence' and 'the Personality of an insecure child.'
  • The salvo follows Trump's celebration of CBS canceling Stephen Colbert's show and recent online threats that ABC and NBC should lose licenses or pay fines.
  • NBC has publicly backed Meyers, with late-night executive Katie Hockmeyer praising his decade-long run, as networks cite financial pressures in late-night programming decisions.
