President Trump has launched a new round of criticism at Late Night host Seth Meyers, calling on NBC to fire him immediately.
The clash began with Trump accusing the comedian of being in an “uncontrollable rage” and claiming the show is a “Ratings DISASTER.” Meyers then fired back on the air Monday night, escalating the story and pushing the feud to a new peak.

In a Saturday Truth Social post, President Trump said Meyers is suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” From there, the criticism intensified.

Trump wrote that Meyers “was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his ‘show’ is a Ratings DISASTER.” He doubled down in the same post, saying, “Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!”
Trump has clashed with late-night personalities before, but demanding that NBC remove one of its hosts marks one of the boldest public confrontations yet.
Trump’s Past Critiques of Meyers Add Fuel
The Trump Seth Meyers rivalry is hardly new. Earlier this month, Trump posted that he watched Late Night for the first time “in years” and found Meyers to be the “least talented” person ever to “perform” live on television.

For Meyers, Trump has long been a reliable monologue target — a dynamic stretching all the way back to the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner. But with late-night ratings dropping across the board, the landscape is different now than it was during the peak of political comedy.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr Amplifies Trump’s Message
Shortly after Trump’s post, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr reposted the criticism to X, drawing even more attention to the unfolding fight.

Although Carr did not attach his own commentary, the amplifying effect ensured the Trump Seth Meyers story dominated timelines throughout the weekend.
Seth Meyers Fires Back On Air
On Monday night’s episode of Late Night, Meyers responded directly — and pointedly — to Trump’s comments.
Meyers opened with a joke referencing the sudden media attention, saying, “You guys! They said my name on TV!”
Then he moved to substance, taking aim at Trump’s phrasing that Meyers was viewed in an “uncontrollable rage.”
As Meyers put it, “Who viewed me? When did this happen?”
He then mocked Trump’s tendency to spiral into rants about topics like “electric catapults on aircraft carriers,” joking that he wasn’t the one obsessing about niche military tech.

Meyers wrapped the segment by downplaying his inclusion on Trump’s target list, noting that being criticized by the president “doesn’t make me special in any way.”
The response guarantees that this chapter of the Trump Seth Meyers feud won’t fade quickly — and may grow more heated depending on Trump’s next post.
Late-Night Ratings Are in Decline — and That Matters Here
Late-night television has been shrinking for years. Viewership is down across the genre, networks rely heavily on social-media clips for relevance, and advertisers are pulling back from time slots that once defined American pop culture.

That’s why the Trump Seth Meyers conflict lands differently today. It raises real questions about how networks will respond when the hosts they rely on for nightly commentary become central figures in political fights — all while their audience numbers continue to slide.
ABC already faced backlash after temporarily removing Jimmy Kimmel earlier this year after the host spread misinformation about the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk. Trump praised that decision and predicted other hosts could follow.
NBC Has Remained Silent
While Meyers himself has now responded on air, NBC still has not issued a statement. With Trump openly demanding that NBC fire one of its longest-running late-night personalities, the network may eventually have to address the controversy.

For now, NBC is quiet. But with both men having spoken publicly — and Meyers now officially returning fire — this feud is nowhere near finished.
