Recently, President Trump has been publicly critical of several late-night talk show hosts, like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. He’s also targeted Seth Meyers, often sharing his complaints on social media. Just this week, Trump called for Meyers’ show to be canceled – even though he reportedly watched the episode he was criticizing beforehand.
On the November 17th episode of Late Night, Seth Meyers responded to recent comments made by the president about his show. Meyers explained that a few weeks prior, President Trump had complained about Meyers repeatedly joking about electric catapults on aircraft carriers. Trump shared these new comments on his social media platform, Truth Social, on November 15th, and the topic was still catapults.
Meyers clarified that Trump’s recent post referenced comments Meyers made “last night,” which was actually Friday, November 14th. However, the episode aired that day was a rerun – the one featuring catapults. Essentially, the President reacted angrily to the same topic after watching the same TV episode twice. Meyers jokingly compared the situation to something from the show Friends, highlighting the President’s mistake.
Mr. President, it’s unfair to be upset about something repeatedly. It’s like getting mad at a character in a show – like Rachel from Friends getting upset with Ross every time someone re-watches the episode where he was unfaithful. And, to be fair, Ross always believed they were on a break.
President Trump has publicly responded to comedian Seth Meyers’ recent jokes about his complaints regarding catapults. Interestingly, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr simply shared a screenshot of Trump’s post on X (formerly Twitter) without adding any of his own commentary. This isn’t the first time Carr has been involved in a public situation concerning a television personality; a similar incident occurred with a different host several months ago.

In September, Michael Carr suggested on a podcast that ABC could lose its broadcasting license because of comments Jimmy Kimmel made about Charlie Kirk’s death. As a result, Disney, ABC’s parent company, temporarily suspended Kimmel’s show. Carr, along with Donald Trump, publicly supported the suspension, but many celebrities defended Kimmel. Kimmel was initially surprised by the decision, but after five days of talks between him and Disney executives, the show was brought back on the air.
Recent changes in late-night television, including the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, reflect a significant industry shift. Seth Meyers had previously voiced concerns about these changes, admitting his future with the show wasn’t entirely in his hands. Despite this, he’s continuing to host his show as usual, offering his familiar commentary on current events, politics, and pop culture, including frequent remarks about President Trump.
Late Night with Seth Meyers airs weeknights at 12:35 p.m. ET on NBC amid the 2025 TV schedule.
