Seth Meyers wouldn't want Trump on his show, says Jimmy Fallon might be best equipped for the post-Trump era

The Atlantic

The Late Night host was asked by The Atlantic why Fallon keeps serving up "such apolitical mush" on The Tonight Show? Meyers responded that "there are people who still want to watch late-night shows, but don’t want cutting political opinion pieces. I respect that. When you’re watching television at 11:30 or 12:30 at night, it’s fair for people to want something relaxing as opposed to something that amps them up and puts them in a terrible mood. I don’t think that we are living in a permanent political moment, and when this comes to a close, people like Jimmy will be very well suited to go back to what they did before, which is just to be really entertaining." As for not wanting to interview Trump, Meyers said: "There’s this idea that if only people asked Trump X, Y, and Z, we’d get to the bottom of something. But if we’ve learned anything, it’s that he’s the constant; he’s resolute in his belief that he’s right, that he’s a victim, and that the last thing he heard is the truth, provided it’s something positive about him. No variable is going to change what he is."
