Trari › Late Night with Seth Meyers
Video taking off 12x its usual first day

Seth Meyers can't quite shake his RFK Jr. impression

The fast-starting Late Night monologue moves from White House jokes to a supposedly unifying segment that even gets pushback over squirrels.

Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 1:09Meyers riffs on Miller's appointment and performs his RFK Jr. impression.
  2. 2:20The monologue moves to Iran-related reports, with Meyers blaming his impression for disrupting the next joke.
  3. 5:54"Things We Can All Agree On" begins, shifting from the opening monologue into mock consensus-building.
  4. 7:08Batman and Cartman enter the proposed crossover, followed by New York City's emergency alerts.
  5. 10:27The final stretch takes in service-area food, fictional condominium-board drama and a disputed opinion about squirrels.

The impression lasts longer than Seth Meyers intends. After mimicking Robert F. Kennedy Jr., he stumbles into the next joke and blames the voice he has just been doing.

That loose, self-interrupting delivery runs through "RFK Jr. Praises Trump for Naming Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff," which drew roughly 1.2 million views in its first day, about twelve times the usual start for Late Night with Seth Meyers' regular videos.

Meyers turns the Miller appointment into a joke about his own cue cards: "Today was Stephen Miller's first day as White House Chief of Staff, and then it says on the card, pause for applause." Elsewhere, he pauses to discuss a writer's confidence in a joke, letting the audience in on the negotiation behind what reaches his desk.

But the upload isn't all Washington. Around halfway through, it switches to the recurring "Things We Can All Agree On," a satirical search for common ground involving self-driving cars, Batman fighting Cartman and the amount of pickled ginger served with sushi.

The proposed consensus proves shaky. Viewers debate eating every scrap of the ginger, while Meyers' declaration that squirrels are boring prompts an audible objection in the room and a spirited defense of squirrels in the comments. Even his escape from politics comes with dissent.
