Like fellow late-night hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers also covered Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, mostly pausing to stare at the tech billionaires in attendance.
Meyers showed a photo of Silicon Valley heavyweights on the guest list – Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet Inc and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, founder of Amazon and CEO Jeff Bezos. Meyers then pointed out the fact that the cold temperatures moved Trump’s event indoors to the Capitol rotunda, where Trump supporters couldn’t physically go — instead choosing to stand in the freezing cold and try for a spot at the Capital One Arena downtown. Washington.
“Of course, MAGA fans were left out in the cold while Trump offered heated VIP indoor seats to wealthy tech oligarchs, which brings us to the segment called ‘Do I Really Have to Explain the Metaphor Here?'” Meyers said.
