Seth Meyers Subtly Responds to Donald Trump Rant: ‘I Hope You Get a TV Soon That Allows You to Change the Channel’

Seth Meyers has subtly addressed comments made by Donald Trump following the President-elect labeling him as “dumb” and “untalented” on Truth Social. On Wednesday’s edition of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” without directly mentioning Trump, Meyers hinted at Trump’s apparent unwilling yet persistent viewership through a wink and a nod.

If you appreciate Pete Hegseth, here’s some news you might find less appealing: I’m planning to make a few jokes poking fun at him. However, there’s also some positive news – it seems likely that he will be appointed as the next Secretary of Defense, given that the Republicans are unlikely to oppose Donald Trump on this matter. Now, you may wonder, ‘Seth, why would a Pete Hegseth fan be watching your show?’ That’s a valid question. It appears that sometimes people who aren’t fond of me end up tuning in. To those individuals, I extend my empathy and hope you soon acquire a TV with the ability to change channels.

As a movie enthusiast delving into my “Closer Look” segment, I navigated the topic of Hegseth, but that’s as far as I chose to touch upon Trump’s Tuesday post on Truth Social concerning Comcast, who happens to own NBC. In his statement, he suggested they should face a significant penalty for what he termed “political hits.

Trump tweeted, “Seth Meyers on NBC seems awfully poor, considering it’s managed by a rather questionable team – don’t forget they also handle MSNBC. Last night was the first time in months I found myself watching Marble-Mouthed Meyers, and every time I do, I feel compelled to point out how unintelligent and talentless he is. He merely fills a slot for the corrupt Comcast regime.

As a movie enthusiast, I’d put it like this: “They really need to be shelling out some serious cash for these ‘in-kind’ donations they’re making to the Democratic Party. It’s not about shows or entertainment; it’s straight political attacks, every single time, against me and the Republican Party. Comcast should face some hefty consequences for this!

Meyers is often vocal and critical of Trump. He’s among numerous late-night talk show hosts that Trump has publicly criticized, which includes Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and more.

Trump frequently criticizes popular news channels, often claiming they show bias and distortion in their portrayal of him. He recently filed a libel lawsuit against CBS News and “60 Minutes,” and in December 2024, he resolved a libel dispute with Disney after suing ABC News due to comments made by anchor George Stephanopoulos.
