David Letterman 'Proud' of Seth Meyers as Donald Trump Calls to Fire 'No Talent' Late-Night Host

David Letterman is backing Seth Meyers as Donald Trump ramps up calls for NBC to fire the late-night star after becoming the target of a recent roast on Late Night With Seth Meyers.

“I’ve never been more proud of Seth Meyers,” Letterman, 78, said during an appearance on The Barbara Gaines Show on Tuesday, November 25. “That’s our old show, as a matter of fact. Yeah, we used to do that show, and he does a magical job.”

Letterman continued to poke fun at the president, 79, wanting to axe Meyers by referencing his response to a reporter’s question about the 2018 killing of a journalist in Saudi Arabia, saying, “But just remember Seth, things happen. You know what I’m saying?”

In another dig, Letterman called the current administration “a wonder of idiocy,” adding that Trump is “our dictator” and “not going anywhere.”

“It’s like 18 times the worst behavior one has witnessed ever anywhere,” Letterman said of the POTUS. “Think of the worst thing that you’ve ever seen humans accomplish. This is so much worse.”

Letterman’s comments come days after Trump called out Meyers' monologue in a scathing post via his Truth Social account.

“NBC’s Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS),” Trump wrote in his statement, which was reposted by FCC chair Brendan Carr. “He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his ‘show’ is a Ratings DISASTER. Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!”

Meyers, 51, isn’t the first late-night host to come under Trump’s attack, as in September, the president called for Jimmy Kimmel Live! to be canceled after Jimmy Kimmel made controversial remarks about the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk.

Although the show was initially placed on an “indefinite” hold by network executives, the decision resulted in major financial ramifications and was reinstated less than a week later.

Trump’s criticism doesn’t seem to hold Kimmel back, as he recently commented on the president addressing a reporter as “piggy” while aboard Air Force One earlier this month.

“He called her piggy. He said ‘Quiet, piggy’ to a reporter and it barely made the news,” Kimmel, 58, told his audience. "If a man spoke like that to a female coworker in a workplace harassment training video, you’d go, 'Ah, that’s over the top. Nobody would do that.'"
