On CBS Sunday Morning , NBC’s notoriously angry leftist Late Night host Seth Meyers was treated to a sycophantic profile in which correspondent Rita Braver marveled at his “sunny personality” and touted laughable claims that he was “the Tom Hanks of talk show hosts.” Braver went on to briefly note that “Meyers is not always nice,” before highlighting his attacks on Donald Trump.
“Meyers is the kind of guy who’ll urge a visitor to try out his desk,” Braver gushed as he allowed her to sit in his chair as they chatted in his studio. She proclaimed: “In contrast to some other talk show hosts, Meyers’s sunny personality is legendary.” Turning to Meyers, Braver fawned: “ Variety called you the Tom Hanks of talk show hosts. Which is pretty nice. I mean, do you have a secret dark side that we’re not seeing?” To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
In reply, Meyers joked: “ I do not have a secret dark side….Do you want to hear something that you won’t believe? The secret side of me is even nicer than this.” Braver followed up: In fact, it is. I read a story saying that when NBC stopped paying some of your people that work on your show for a while, that you stepped up and paid them out of your own pocket during the COVID shutdown?…I’ll just say, that was really nice. The reporter then admitted: “But Meyers is not always nice. His humor is often political….A favorite target for years, Donald Trump.”
However, his history of nastiness goes well beyond trashing Trump:
After playing clips of Meyers ripping Trump, Braver wondered: “Is the Biden administration funny yet?” Meyers equivocated that “Joe Biden as an idea is funny,” before making a lame joke about one of the White House pets: “I feel very deeply for the people that Major has bit, but it is very in line with Joe […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
