Trump Sues CNN for Defamation, Putin's 70th Birthday: Late Night's News of the Week

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[pauljansen]

As a European it's beyond imagination to me that a huge news network would be sued for....bringing the actual news😀

[suedesweffervescent]

How shallow is the Republican talent pool when Dr Oz and Herschel Walker are the best choices

[shawnuel]

The one and only reason for Trump's lawsuit is so he can send out another letter to his supporters, asking for money.

[XzTS-Roostro]

The callback to Oz was great, I nearly screamed

[debbieday]

You have to have character first to sue for defamation.

[galenkehler]

Correction: 8:30, hitting the Mets fan didn't add insult to injury, it added injury to insult.

[jeffrey_solis]

An Al Pacino story and no Seth impersonation? What world are we in?

[Greyareas]

CNN has nothing to worry about. Trump is charging, "defamation of character". When has Trump ever displayed "character?
Wait... he does do a very good impersonation of Pinocchio.

[NewMessage]

Donnie would never make it as a super hero. 'Secret Identify'? He'd out himself day one in a 45 minute speech to a guy on the bus.... or, for that matter, a super villain... as we're seeing now.

My sister went to ASU and most of my highschool friends went between ASU, U of A, and NAU and I very much appreciated those jokes

[joebando]

It is typical of narcissistic Donald Trump to sue for something that he definitely did! Lol

[mLify]

I used to work for a scientist who transferred to our campus from ASU. He was extremely incompetent. I approve of these jokes. 😂

[peterstephens]

Those of us who are citizens of democracies [in my case Australia], find it VERY difficult to understand how a News network can be taken to court - by a potential candidate for political office - simply for fulfilling their journalistic obligation: to report the NEWS🤔!

[janjikins]

Some people just don't know what wet dog smells like! I do and I loved that joke! 😂😂😂

[Jenahh-aye]

This one was a wild ride 🤣. Well done.

[anthonydaniel]

The ASU jokes are funny. Tell Baze it's fine, in fact write more.

[patrickwalsh]

Seth! Please keep doing Oz’s dog murderer jokes - the con artist deserves it!

[Thatguy-qvwr]

I like how when a joke is in poor taste he makes sure to deflect and give credit to the writer 😂

[oliver]

I’m always bewildered why legal teams want to work for him. He doesn’t pay them.

[morbidone]

The Mets fan last words got me, and I'm awake at 5 A.M. 🤣
