Seth Meyers kicked off “Late Night” on a very serious note in the wake of Donald Trump being shot at a rally over the weekend. And while the NBC host made his concerns clear, he also offered a message of hope to viewers, encouraging them not to “spiral into despair.”
To start his “A Closer Look” segment Monday night, Meyers promised that he would do his normal thing and make jokes about the news, but said that before he could do so, he wanted to take a moment to honestly reflect on Trump’s shooting.
Meyers added his voice to the many condemning the incident, and admitted that, in trying to figure out how to start the show, he was reminded of his first show following January 6.
