A Closer Look Back: Trump's Unfulfilled Campaign Promises

Seth Meyers put a retrospective at the center of a busy upload week. "A Closer Look Back: Trump's Unfulfilled Campaign Promises" revisits promises from the 2024 presidential campaign, and it has already passed a million views. It is both the week's most-watched new upload and the channel's busiest video by daily views right now.

Across fifteen new uploads, there was also room for the show's smaller, self-directed jokes. "CORRECTIONS Episode 182: Week of Monday, October 5" addresses mispronouncing Fani Willis and implying that Chuck Grassley is younger than Mitch McConnell. Political comedy is the main attraction here, but correcting the political comedy has its own regular place on the shelf.

The celebrity conversations offered a different kind of looking back. Slayyyter explains how a character in Dazed and Confused inspired her stage name. Among the uploads gathering momentum, Lena Dunham reflects on writing Girls at just 23, while Sandra Hüller remembers hearing Harry Styles sing "Sign of the Times" in concert. Dunham created and starred in Girls, so that writing memory reaches back to the work that made her widely known.

The channel drew about nine million views over the week, with its subscriber count unchanged. Daily viewing is slightly below its usual pace. Elsewhere in late night, LastWeekTonight is having a busier-than-usual day, while Stephen Colbert's channel is quieter. For Meyers, the clearest draw remains that return to the campaign archive.
