In fact, Meyers had so many questions about the oddly timed cover, which appeared amid President Donald Trump’s order to greenlight the construction of a wall on the Mexican border, that he unveiled a brand-new segment on _Late Night_ on Tuesday, fittingly called “A Lot of Questions”. The photo, which originally ran in [_GQ_](http://www.gq.com/story/melania-trump-gq-interview) in 2016, features the [First Lady](http://time.com/4641980/melania-trump-martha-washington/?iid=sr-link2) twirling a fork around a diamond-encrusted necklace pulled from a plate filled with jewelry, which lead to Meyers first question: “Is she going to eat those diamonds?” It was a interesting question that naturally lead to his follow-up, “In the [Trump](http://time.com/4608959/melania-trump-first-lady-politics/?iid=sr-link1) household are diamonds food?” As the segment’s title suggests, there were more questions like, “Is someone who eats diamonds while wearing diamonds the same as someone who eats Doritos while wearing Doritos?” and “Isn’t it weird that this isn’t that shocking? That this isn’t even the most bizarre thing we’ve seen this week?” Watch below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4656522/seth-meyers-on-melania-trump-cover/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4656522/seth-meyers-on-melania-trump-cover/"},"headline":"Seth Meyers Takes on the Mysteries of Melania Trump's Vanity Fair Cover","datePublished":"2017-02-01T16:55:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:40:40.525Z","description":"First question: “Is she going to eat those diamonds?”","url":"https://time.com/4656522/seth-meyers-on-melania-trump-cover/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Seth Meyers","Late Night with Seth Meyers","Donald Trump","Melania Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"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/4656522/seth-meyers-on-melania-trump-cover/","name":"Seth Meyers Takes on the Mysteries of Melania Trump's Vanity Fair Cover"}}]}] ```
