"Appearing on The Barbara Gaines Show Tuesday, Letterman who helmed the show 1982 to 1993 before moving to CBS said he was standing squarely behind his successor. I've never been more proud of Seth Meyers, he said. That's our old show, as a matter of fact. Yeah, we used to do that show, and he does a magical job."
"The president's eruption on November 15 followed Meyers' mocking of his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein casefiles saga. Trump took to Truth Social to slam Late Night as a Ratings DISASTER and called for his firing in a post that was later amplified by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair Brendan Carr."
"Letterman went on to mock the Trump administration as just a wonder of idiocy and rip the president as our dictator whose policies were not going anywhere. He added: It's like 18 times the worst behavior one has witnessed ever anywhere Think of the worst thing that you've ever seen humans accomplish. This is so much worse."
David Letterman said he stood squarely behind Seth Meyers after President Trump demanded NBC fire the comedian following Meyers' mockery of Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein casefiles. Trump posted on Truth Social calling Late Night a "Ratings DISASTER" and urged Meyers' firing; FCC chair Brendan Carr amplified the post. Letterman praised Meyers' work, calling him "magical," and referenced his own tenure on the show from 1982 to 1993. Letterman jokingly warned about the dangers of criticism, invoked Trump's evasive exchange regarding Jamal Khashoggi, and called the Trump administration a "wonder of idiocy."
