US President Trump has once again targeted comedian Seth Meyers, demanding that NBC terminate the late-night host. This comes after Meyers mocked the former president’s recent political actions in his monologues.
On Saturday, November 15, Trump posted on Truth Social: “NBC’s Seth Meyers has gone totally off the rails. His show is failing, his jokes are weak, and he is clearly obsessed with me. NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!”
Meyers’ recent episodes have criticised Trump on multiple fronts, including threats of government shutdowns, long-term mortgage policies, high-profile dinners with Wall Street executives, and controversies surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.
The post was quickly reshared by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, showing public support for Trump’s demand. Carr did not add any commentary, but his action follows earlier warnings to networks, such as ABC, over Jimmy Kimmel’s commentary after the Charlie Kirk assassination.
This is not the first time Trump has publicly criticised late-night hosts. His ongoing feud with comedians highlights the continuing tension between the former president and media figures who comment on his political and personal actions.
Analysts say Trump’s social media activity serves to keep his public profile high while responding directly to his critics. Observers also note that amplifying attacks on late-night hosts may influence networks and stir public debate on media freedom and political satire.
NBC has not yet responded to Trump’s demand to fire Meyers. Meanwhile, the comedian continues to address current political issues and the actions of the former president in his nightly show.
This latest confrontation underscores the strained relationship between Trump and television hosts, emphasizing the impact of social media in modern political discourse.
