So, \u201cLate Night\u201d had its own White House briefing on Tuesday night, in which the NBC host led press secretary Karoline Leavitt to roast her boss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s a recurring bit on the late night show, in which Meyers pretends to be a member of the press and asks silly questions. The response comes in the form of previous clips of Leavitt, utilized as unexpected punchlines. Up first on Tuesday, Meyers tackled Republicans\u2019 recent funding cuts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">More from TheWrap<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cTariffs have thrown the economy into chaos. Billions in funding for Medicaid recipients is being cut, and now Republicans are shutting down Congress to avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein files,\u201d Meyers said. \u201cAre you doing anything we can be excited about?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cYou don\u2019t need to take off your shoes anymore at the airport,\u201d a clip of Leavitt responded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meyers conceded that that was indeed a good thing, but then turned his attention to Epstein once more. The host questioned who Trump would throw under the bus for the Epstein files, to which a clip of Leavitt said Donald Trump Jr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cOh, right. Same name, it will work with the list,\u201d Meyers joked.<\/p>\n<p><a data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/join-pro\/?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=site&amp;utm_campaign=articlePROpromo&amp;utm_id=070825\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"247\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/9c7d0b3beed6f4c9b7c5e1d24c6e24d4.jpeg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He then questioned what exactly Trump has sold on his website (\u201c$9 billion worth of crap,\u201d Leavitt responded), what makes toucans such cool birds (\u201cOne big beautiful bill\u201d), and more, including quizzing her on music lyrics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The \u201cLate Night\u201d team even imagined Leavitt\u2019s response to \u201cwho really killed Jeffrey Epstein?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cHunter Biden,\u201d a clip retorted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">You can watch the full fake press conference in the video above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/seth-meyers-karoline-leavitt-roast-trump-fake-press-conference\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Seth Meyers Gets Karoline Leavitt to Roast Trump in Fake Press Conference | Video;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Seth Meyers Gets Karoline Leavitt to Roast Trump in Fake Press Conference | Video<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TheWrap;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Trump administration has had quite a few press briefings in recent weeks, but they haven\u2019t answered some&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,1376,75,12208,25879,13398,26765,348],"class_list":{"0":"post-35953","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-donald-trump","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-jeffrey-epstein","13":"tag-karoline-leavitt","14":"tag-seth-meyers","15":"tag-the-trump","16":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
