David Letterman is publicly backing his longtime friend Seth Meyers as President Donald Trump calls to fire the NBC late-night host. Meyers recently used his Late Night with Seth Meyers platform to roast Trump in a sharp monologue, prompting a response from the president on Truth Social last week. The post was later circulated by FCC chair Brendan Carr, magnifying the controversy. In a show of support, Letterman said he’s never been more proud of Meyers, highlighting the strong bond between generations of late-night hosts. This clash underscores the scrutiny faced by comedians who blend political satire with late-night entertainment on NBC, and it fuels ongoing conversations about free speech, media criticism, and the role of late-night television in contemporary politics.
