Sometimes, the news is so frenzied that it’s simple to miss the vast number of ridiculous incidents that take place within a brief timeframe.
“Typically, this is the moment we would showcase our ongoing segment ‘A Closer Look’, highlighting the strange occurrences in the news, but after a three-week hiatus, it appears nothing transpired. So instead, we are launching our new segment, ‘Everything’s Fantastic,'” remarks Seth Meyers in the Late Night video above.
“That’s right, it’s been a quiet three weeks, and really nothing— what’s that? Oh, Iran asserts that the Strait of Hormuz is closed again? Alright. Uh, what, Iranian gunboats fired upon a tanker? And, excuse me, the U.S. confiscated an Iranian cargo vessel and Iran is threatening to respond? Fine, but that’s merely the Middle East— what? Trump dismissed Attorney General Pam Bondi? He posted a meme of himself as Jesus, but then asserted he believed it portrayed him as a physician? What? He remarked that the Pope is lenient on crime?”
The segment proceeds in this fashion for a complete two minutes.
