As the 2016 election has drawn closer, hosts like [_Late Night’s_ Seth Meyers](http://time.com/4373071/seth-meyers-donald-trump-tv-show/ "undefined"), [_Full Frontal’s_ Samantha Bee](http://time.com/4385125/full-frontal-samantha-bee-brexit/ "undefined") and [_Last Week Tonight’s_ John Oliver](http://time.com/4421221/john-oliver-donald-trump-rnc/ "undefined") have made their anti-Donald Trump political views more and more apparent. Meyers in particular has used his nightly show as a platform to air his grievances with Trump, consistently slamming the Republican nominee during his opening monologues and segments like “A Closer Look” and “That Actually Happened.” From bits on Trump’s [praise for Russian leader Vladimir Putin](http://time.com/4485162/donald-trump-doubles-down-on-russia/ "undefined") to the news that he has [not yet released](http://time.com/4479862/donald-trump-tax-returns-think-people-dont-care/ "undefined") his tax returns, Meyers has tackled several aspects of [Trump’s campaign](http://time.com/4447985/inside-donald-trump-meltdown/ "undefined") with biting satire. Here are 10 of his most noteworthy Trump tirades: ## On Trump calling Vladimir Putin a great leader: . ## “A Closer Look” at Trump’s national security plan: —————– ## “A Couple Things” about Trump’s modeling agency: —————– ## “A Closer Look” at Trump reaching out to black and Latino voters: —————– ## An “interview” with Trump’s doctor: —————– ## On why Trump won’t release his taxes: —————– ## “A Closer Look” at Trump’s immigration stance: —————– ## On Trump’s disastrous day: —————– ## “A Closer Look” at Trump’s reaction to the Khan family: —————– ## On Trump’s Republican convention speech: ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4490309/seth-meyers-donald-trump-late-night/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4490309/seth-meyers-donald-trump-late-night/"},"headline":"10 Times Seth Meyers Has Taken on Donald Trump on Late Night","datePublished":"2016-09-15T14:36:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:31.548Z","description":"His most noteworthy Trump tirades","url":"https://time.com/4490309/seth-meyers-donald-trump-late-night/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Seth Meyers","Late Night with Seth Meyers","TV","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4490309/seth-meyers-donald-trump-late-night/","name":"10 Times Seth Meyers Has Taken on Donald Trump on Late Night"}}]}] ```
