On Wednesday night’s episode of _Late Night_, Meyers and Poehler resurrected the _Saturday Night Live_ bit they perfected on Weekend Update known as “Really?!” in reaction to protestors who [interrupted the climax of a Shakespeare in the Park](http://time.com/4822840/shakespeare-in-the-park-donald-trump-protests/?iid=sr-link2) performance because they said they believed [it normalized](http://time.com/4817893/donald-trump-jr-steve-scalise-shot-twitter/?iid=sr-link6) violence against the right. “Really, protesters?” Poehler said on the show, “You’d wait in line for [Shakespeare in the Park tickets](http://time.com/4814538/bank-of-america-julius-caesar-play/?iid=sr-link3) to a play you hate and watch for three hours just to run on stage to protect someone dressed like the president from getting pretend-stabbed with a fake knife? Really?” She was on a roll: “If you want to change this country you can’t just sit around your house, yelling at the TV. You have to get out there and yell at a play.” Meyers noted that [Julius Caesar](http://time.com/4817390/public-theater-shakespeare-donald-trump-julius-caesar/?iid=sr-link4) and Donald Trump have very little in common, other than the fact that they both have casinos named after them. “Really, you could tell that Caesar wasn’t really Trump because the Senate stabbed him instead of just passing a sh—y health care bill,” he said. “And really, if this portrayal was offensive to anyone, it’s [Caesar](http://time.com/4815178/julius-caesar-trump-shakespeare-play/?iid=sr-link5). Caesar was beloved by the Roman Empire,” Meyers said. “To put it another way, he won the popular vote.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4828285/seth-meyers-amy-poehler-on-trump-protesters/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4828285/seth-meyers-amy-poehler-on-trump-protesters/"},"headline":"Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler Reunite for a Blistering Takedown of Pro-Trump Protesters","datePublished":"2017-06-22T14:49:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:46.462Z","description":"They revived their SNL bit after people protested a Shakespeare play","url":"https://time.com/4828285/seth-meyers-amy-poehler-on-trump-protesters/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Amy Poehler","Seth Meyers","Late Night with Seth Meyers","Late Night Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7989e2dbef76607d/6988d2d7ab6d77524a6aeaeb/amyseth.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7989e2dbef76607d/6988d2d7ab6d77524a6aeaeb/amyseth.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"AmySeth","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"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/4828285/seth-meyers-amy-poehler-on-trump-protesters/","name":"Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler Reunite for a Blistering Takedown of Pro-Trump Protesters"}}]}] ```
