Seth Meyers Jokes That Trump’s Iran Plan Is Just an HBO Spinoff

Seth Meyers laughing behind his desk on the Late Night set.
  • Seth Meyers roasts Trump for napping.
  • The Knicks’ big comeback win.
  • Why the Iran deal feels like a TV show rebrand.

We just saw the funniest segment on Late Night. Seth Meyers is back at it again. He did not hold back. This time, the target was Trump’s latest talk about Iran.

First, Seth had to mention the Knicks game. Trump apparently fell asleep during their huge win. Typical. Seth joked that Trump missed a total buzzer-beater. The energy in the studio was high. You could feel the vibe through the screen.

Then things got visual. Seth compared Trump’s Iran “deal” to an HBO rebrand. He even joked about a spinoff. It’s called The Pitt of Hormuz. We love that name. It sounds like something we would binge-watch on a Sunday night.

The aesthetic of the segment was perfect. Seth’s set has those deep blue tones. They look so sharp under the studio lights. It creates a cool, moody look while he delivers these punchlines. Speaking of big studio news, Universal just picked a new boss to run their movie magic.

We think Seth is on to something. Politics feels like a series of rebrands lately. It is all about the image. Just like how Karisma Kapoor had to learn new habits for her role, politicians are always acting. Also, did you hear? Lindsay Arnold is finally a boy mom! We are so happy for her.

Our Take

Seth Meyers is the king of the ‘A Closer Look’ segment. He makes hard news feel like a chat with a friend. We think his HBO joke is spot on. Everything in the news feels like a flashy show now. We just hope the real-life version isn’t a cliffhanger.
