Seth Meyers on Trump's college football boos and 'best poverty numbers'
One clip is doing what whole days of uploads usually do on Late Night's channel, days after a Closer Look shared the spotlight with a ballroom architect.

Trump Gets Booed at College Football Game, Tells Reporters U.S. Has "Best Poverty Numbers"
Nineteen hours after it went up, Late Night's clip "Trump Gets Booed at College Football Game, Tells Reporters U.S. Has "Best Poverty Numbers"" was closing in on 800,000 views.
That is well outside the channel's rhythm. A new Late Night upload usually finishes its first day somewhere around 23,000 views, so this one covered that distance before most viewers had finished breakfast and kept going. The last time the channel stood out, the attention was spread across a Closer Look and a ballroom architect. This time a single segment is doing the work.
The title pairs two moments: boos from a college football crowd, and a line to reporters about poverty numbers that Seth Meyers clearly wanted in quotation marks. That is familiar ground for him. He has hosted Late Night since 2014, after years at the Weekend Update desk on Saturday Night Live, and politics has long been at the center of his show.
Across the talk show world the day was mixed. TODAY and CBS Mornings were running above their usual pace, while Good Morning America and The Onion were quieter.
