Trump’s Toxic Convention, Canada Tariffs, MAGA Split on AI Data Centers: A Closer Look Out of Office

I wish this was a regular show
Who goes down to Target for those gold stickers he puts everywhere 😂
Dude. This is so funny😅
Offer TRUE and Real Universal HEALTH CARE! Then people will be healthier and vibrant.
They’ll want to work longer and also be able to.
Allow affordable non contaminated natural foods to be grown and consumed.
Let there be water!
2 corrections, if I may.
For one, google maps does not appear to have changed their labeling for those using from within Canada. Fine line they're walking, there.
For two, trump did not change the name of Lake Ontario. He may have blathered about it, but that is older than both countries combined and not within his power to alter.
Minecradt IS AI!!!!!
So can we change the east wing into a data center?
Thank you SETH AND SAL!I. I have really missed the show , desperate for some gallows humour. 😂😂I could watch you guys for hours. Sal is brilliant. You both have saved my sanity . ❤
I love how Sal suffixes in "global express" twice on Seth as he sincerely delivers the private jet joke… on the second one, Seth finally cracks "…global expess" …. "He could barely fit his bombardier through the door of his gulfstream" absolutely floored me… damnit
Lets not let Mitch McConnel set the example for working. Can you all get back in the office.
Shingles? 🤷
44:15 — Literally no one knows wtf you’re talking about, Seth.
Why no new episode?
Absolutely loooove this while the show is on hiatus! I wish that the bleeping didn't have to happen here; we get enough of that on the show 😂
I feel there’s too much Sal, not enough Seth…
I can't believe in the year of our lord 2026 we got a The Rescuers reference from Seth.
ai cheated on a test it wasn't nearly as nefarious or dangerous as people seem to think. Perhaps trump intends to take it with him
What is that applety maps??
Seth even Mitch came back to work, what’s your excuse?
But in all seriousness, what is going on?
Anyone else suspicious that he didn't point an alive person arrow at Sal?
AI is just a computer program that does what it's programmed to do.
Comments on data centers in Texas are concerning neighborhoods 65 to 70 decibels of noise all day every day? WHY
Is Sal short for Salacious B Crumb 🙂
We literally also make Bombardier here in America too.. there’s a factory here in my town.
Very funny stuff, keep it up! I have the feeling that I'm getting a review of the current season of The Apprentice — which was never really cancelled it seems; Each new season features unbelievable plot twists and themes ripped from the lives of fantasy island residents. This season is jam-packed with Donnie's friends; The human printer, the fat friend, the every-day-regular-Bombardier guy…
They do not understand evaporative cooling, too many syllables
7 jobs per town after done
I dont understand what we are racing China to create. I am happy with the AI I have. Trump riding shirtless on a bald eagle is real enough looking.
Whats the ultimate goal 🤔
USer's mind is extremly weak if it's overwhelmed by Trump insanity
We enjoy your Out of Office segment…looking forward to the show’s return! 💙
Also, wtf is this "Portal" that they're matching against, wtf made this "Portal" the authority?
Pear Maps… they've gone a bit pear shaped. And Goggle Maps. Such spineless tools.

Seth Meyers is scheduled to return with new episodes of Late Night on Monday, September 21, 2026, airing at 12:35 a.m. ET / 11:35 p.m. CT on NBC. Reruns are airing until then.
Why is Trump popular with pharmacists? (If even true). Cause his policies let everyone get sick?
Can we just move the ballroom, the arch, and the data centers all to Mar-a-Lago?
Let me really explain MineCraft for you Seth. Digital Legos. That's it, that should make sense to you.
Someone needs to ask Trump why he doesnt have a data center built near Mar a lago since they make you rich and he said they look good
I was thinking of something paradoxical today. If most voters are single issue voters, in theory you could be on the most popular side of every issue and get no votes. So strangely enough… it might be better to only take a position on a few issues.
E.g. Suppose three issues that poll as follows:
issue 1, 70 for, 30 against
issue 2, 55 for 45 against
issue 3, 75 for 25 against
If the minorities against each issue are non-overlapping and for the other two issues, you can get a situation where none of them will vote for a candidate that is in favor of all three issues.
100 people grouped as follows
issue 1 issue 2 issue 3
30 no yes yes
45 yes no yes
25 yes yes no
70 for 55 for 75 for
If all 100 votes are single issue, on the no side of that issue, and their single issues are exactly those ones they are no on. Then all 100 may vote against a candidate that is for issues 1, 2, and 3.
Google Maps only changed it to Lake America for American users. 😁🇳🇿
YOU NO LONGER AIR
LATE NIGHT with SETH MEYERS
Here on YouTube DO YOU ????
I AM IN A SMALL TOWN WITH MOUNTAINS AND CANNOT RECEIVE NBC BROADCAST TV
DAMMIT
Your colleague is dumb!!!!
I guess I will just go back to the best late night, Carson
Your lead guy is dumb??!?
Dude! WTF?!? Totally boring and disconnected talk. Your colleague who is clearly there to agree to you. Dude!!! I like you. WTH?!?!
Did you ever hear that song Bad Toupee by Bohemian Trade School?
Cmon, fellas… the hum is bad. It's REALLY bad. A couple minutes search would show you that. It's a comedy show, we get it, but c'mon….
Why is your video censored – did someone miss that Derp Fuhrer signed one of its executive edicts saying free speech is … free
And to remind everyone – We DO NOT shop at 'target' because of their fucking, 'un-skippable' ads
