Featuring the 8g band with Craig Reynolds [ cheers and applause and now, Seth Meyers Seth good evening. Im seth meyers. This is late night. We hope youre doing well, and now, if you dont mind, were going to get to the news well, its wednesday, so it is time for Donald Trumps crime of the week what is it this week did he tie a lady to some train tracks did he blow up city hall oh, massive tax fraud, the old classic. [ laughter ] new York Attorney general Letitia James today filed an over 200page civil Fraud Lawsuit against former President Trump, several of his children, Business Partners in the Trump Organization id say he needs a good lawyer, but thats been true for a while now. [ laughter ] in the new lawsuit filed today, new York Attorney general Letitia James alleges that the Trump Organization deceived lenders, insurers and tax officials by inflating the value of his properties. Even worse, he listed himself at 67 on his tinder profile [ laughter ] President Biden hosted a reception today at new yorks American Museum of natural history, where he also spent some time catching up with old friends. Chubby [ laughter ] its been ages, chubby oh, oh, god, no, chubby. What did they do to you, chubby . [ laughter ] russia announced plans to hold an annexation vote in occupied portions of ukraine, and this is cool they also announced what the results of the vote will be. [ laughter ] you dont have to stay up late [ laughter ] according to the latest numbers, facebook ceo Mark Zuckerbergs net worth decreased this year by more than 71 billion. No wonder he wants to live in the metaverse. He cant afford a place in San Francisco anymore. The 22nd annual congressional basketball game was held on monday night, and the team of Congress People beat the team of lobbyists or, just throwing this out there, they let you win. [ laughter ] a man in kentucky recently set a Guinness World record after driving a mile in reverse in just over 75 seconds he then smartly refused the breathalyzer [ laughter ] oh, what . I set a world record, all right. [ laughter ] according to new survey, 3 of americans said that they have waited in a line for over eight hours. Well, were still not opening a second register, said cvs. [ laughter ] and finally, officials from the cdc said this week that there was a 26 rise in syphilis infections reported last year. Well, good luck with that. [ laughter ] we couldnt even get people to wear masks [ laughter ] and that was a monologue, everybody. Well, were all were off and running, and we really do have a tremendous show for you tonight. I have run around the streets of new york city with this man, and now, his fantastic new movie bros is coming out next weekend. As of this morning, it has a 94 rating on rotten tomatoes, which is pretty damn perfect Billy Eichner will be here whos all the way perfect. [ cheers and applause she is a musician and actor you know from on becoming a god in central florida. You can see her now in monarch on fox she is one of our favorites. Beth ditto will also be joining us [ cheers and applause but before we get to all of that, the new York Attorney general announced today that her office is suing donald trump to bar him from doing business in the state over allegations of what she called staggering fraud. The announcement comes a day after a special master chastised trumps legal team during a hearing on the classified documents he allegedly stashed at maralago. For more on this, it is time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause seth right now, were in a pretty stunning situation where the two leading contenders for the 2024 gop nomination have both sparked lawsuits and criminal investigations. Authorities in texas announced theyre opening a probe into Florida Governor ron desantis repulsive scheme to lure migrants on to a plane from texas under false pretenses and strand them on Marthas Vineyard and now, the migrants have also filed a Class Action Lawsuit against desantis alleging fraud. Its almost as if theyre competing to see who can be more corrupt. As Rolling Stone reported recently, its a political conflict likely to produce more cruel, ostentatious and draconian policy proposals and actions, as leaders such as desantis and trump compete to outmaga one another i cant even begin to imagine what that would look like. [ laughter ] walls on both borders . Hats that say make america even more greater again times infinity . [ laughter ] remember when trump used to hug the flag at his speeches, like a tourist riding the new york city subway for the first time . If ron desantis tries to top that, hes likely to end up doing something so obscene wed have to blur it. [ laughter ] now, these guys clearly already have a lot in common, the shameless lying, bullying, open bigotry, performative spectacles of cruelty, obsessive focus on [ bleep ] culture war nonsense even the way they stand is incredibly weird [ laughter ] what is going on here . Thats the way a stoned teenager stands when his mom comes home unexpectedly [ laughter ] mother, youre home what happened to book club [ laughter ] ah, mrs. Daldry has a cold for shame. Well, im off to bed [ laughter ] is it only 6 30 . Well, the early bird catches the proverbial worm, or so they say in the proverbs. [ laughter ] at least with trump, you can kind of tell whats going on puffing his chest out to seem manly, but ends up looking like hes trying to record all his conversations with a secret microphone strapped to his chest. And just what was that you said about Election Fraud [ laughter ] can you say it louder and closer to my nipples . But for the life of me i cant i just cannot figure out what is going on in this picture with desantis. He looks like an offbrand g. I. Joe action figure you would get for christmas from your grandma in a box labeled, i dont know, swamp man. he looks like a character who gives you your mission in grand theft auto. [ laughter ] hey hey, tony, i need you to go down to the docks and trick some migrants into flying to Marthas Vineyard. Why does he look so nervous all the time he reminds me of Ralph Kramden on the 99,000 answer. [ laughter ] im really sorry, you guys nbc is pushing us to appeal to gen z and Audience Research tells us that the things 20 years olds love the most are fortnite, tiktok and episodes of the honeymooners, i dont know i guess it was i guess it was like the 1950s euphoria. [ laughter ] i dont know, guys, they just hand us research so, these two undercover mens wearhouse mannequins now have another thing in common. They both sparked lawsuits and criminal investigations, but if desantis thought he could catch up to trump in the crime department, hes still got a long way to go because today, trump got hit with yet another legal bombshell. New York Attorney general Letitia James announced that her office is suing trump and his family over allegations of longrunning and staggering fraud. New York State Attorney general announcing moments ago her office is suing the former president , his adult children, and the Trump Organization for what her office describes as bank, tax and insurance fraud. We show that they violated several state criminal laws. Including falsifying business records, issuing false financial statements, insurance fraud. We believe the conduct alleged in this action also violates federal criminal law, including issuing false statements to Financial Institutions and bank fraud. We are requiring mr. Trump and the Trump Organizationon to disgorge the financial benefits obtained through the persistent fraudulent practices, an estimated baseline, at the minimum of 250 million. Seth whoa 250 million to pay that, hed probably have to sell maralago and move in with rudy. [ laughter ] i got top bunk rudy, you got bottom but, boss, theres only one bed thats right, you sleep on the floor under my mattress and keep an eye you keep an eye out for bed bugs, rudy im counting on you. I doubt trump can afford to just fork over 250 million something tells me his supporters are about to get a bunch of frantic emails that say, President Trump needs your help to prove the election was stolen click here to donate 1, 5 or 250 million the lawsuit also named trumps three oldest children, and you know what that means todays a good time to be tiffany [ laughter ] im sure there were times you were upset not to be in the inner circle, girl, but when an attorney general doesnt say your name, its a good day live your life [ laughter ] of course, even before this bombshell announcement, trump was also facing multiple criminal investigations for the attempted coup on january 6th and, perhaps most prominently, the classified documents he apparently stole from the white house and stashed away at his private beach club now, theres no way of knowing if trump broke the law, except he definitely did and its [ bleep ] crazy that we have to even entertain the idea that he didnt no one loses a job and gets to take whatever they want on the way out the door, especially if you work for the government. Its pack up your things, not youre fired, take whatever mementos youd like as a token of our appreciation for the [ bleep ] job you did. Also, no ones buying your excuse that you had to pack at the last minute. Theres a reason we elect a new president in november and give the old one until january to move out of course, trump spent those two months convinced the election was going to get overturned. He probably stood over melania while she was putting clothes in a suitcase saying, i dont know why youre doing that. Youre just going to have to put them back in the drawer when mike pence refuses to certify the election. Shes like, donald, please, i want to get this done. Dont wait until the last minute. [ laughter ] and then the morning of the inauguration, melania was yelling into the oval office, the helicopter is here and he was just running around throwing documents into a duffle bag yelling, on my way, mel on my way. Im just writing a note to joe biden wishing him luck and all that [ bleep ], [ bleep ] i dont know what im allowed to ill take everything ill take everything. Now, one of the keys to proving in court that trump broke the law in particular that he obstructed justice or violated the espionage act, which was cited by the doj in its warrant to search maralago is demonstrating that trump willfully retained National Defense information that he knew he shouldnt have. And this week, we got some bombshell reporting from the New York Times revealing that trump was told he was in legal jeopardy if he kept the documents and he kept them anyway the New York Times is reporting tonight that a former White House Council warned donald trump last year when he was no longer president that mr. Trump could face legal liability if he did not return government materials he had taken with him when he left office the lawyer, eric herschmann, sought to impress upon mr. Trump the seriousness of the issue and the potential for investigations and legal exposure if he did not return the documents, particularly any classified material seth of course, trump knew he was committing a crime he didnt take the documents by accident hes not captain crunch. The box he took from the white house didnt say oops, all classified [ laughter ] they were clearly marked, all classified. Some of them were reportedly Nuclear Documents you dont take those by accident, and if you do, you return them asap its not like when youre hastily moving out of an apartment you shared with an ex, and you realize after you moved out that you accidentally took her old College Sweater and it makes you sort of wistful. [ laughter ] and you cant help but reminisce, you know, about all of the good times you had together that first time you held hands in a Movie Theater, or when you drove her home from a Friends Party and just sat in the driveway [ laughter ] or the time you got a little too tipsy in a Lower East Side dive bar and walked around the city until the early hours of the morning, the sun peeking out over the Brooklyn Bridge and the hudson simmering with the new light of a hopeful morning so you decide to text her one last time just to say hi, just to say you miss her that this might be a mistake, that youre not youre not ready to move on. And then, she responds, you had sex with my sister [ laughter ] and then you donate the sweater to goodwill because she obviously doesnt have any [ laughter ] now, you might recognize the lawyer in question his name is eric herschmann, and hes most famous for testifying before the january 6th committee with a baseball bat on his wall that says justice, like hes a middle School Principal in a tough neighborhood in a 90s movie. You try to sell crack in my school and youll leave with a crack in your skull, capische . [ light laughter ] now get out of my cafetorium. Hes either a very intimidating lawyer or thats a piece of memorabilia he stole from the Yankees Clubhouse by the way, amazing week for new york sports. Huge comeback win for the yankees last night the mets clinched the postseason. The jets pulled off a miracle comeback the giants are 20 its a great time to be a new york sports fan and a terrible time to host a late night comedy show. [ laughter ] and its not just sports i flew out of laguardia for the first time in two years and brace yourself, everybody its super nice now. So, i guess the monologue is just cancelled forever [ laughter ] laguardia is so nice now, even the new yorkers flying out of it are polite i bumped into someone because i was looking at my phone and he said, excuse me, but could you please pull your [ bleep ] head out of your ass . I felt like i was in england [ laughter ] now, trumps current ridiculous argument before he moves on to what will certainly be an even more ridiculous argument is that he secretly declassified the documents before leaving office. A trumppicked, rightwing judge intervened to appoint whats called a special master. Basically, a separate, independent arbiter to go through and decide what trump should be allowed to keep, and that special master held his first hearing with both sides yesterday where he basically slapped down the trump team for refusing to provide any proof that trump had actually declassified the documents he said he had declassified just a couple hours ago, lawyers for the Justice Department squared off with Donald Trumps legal team for their first public hearing before judge Raymond Dearie. Hes the federal judge who was appointed special master to review the documents seized in the search of Donald Trumps residence last month during this hearing, dearie, who was Donald Trumps pick, his handselected suggestion to be the special master, told Donald Trumps lawyers to put up or shut up on claims that trump declassified the records heres how politico describes the hearing. Judge Raymond Dearie pushed trumps lawyers repeatedly for refusing to back up the former president s claim that he declassified the highly Sensitive National securityrelated records discovered in his residence. you cannot have your cake and eat it too. seth well, im certain that metaphor went right over trumps head if i have the cake, of course, im gonna eat the cake [ laughter ] sleepy joe, he wants you to order the cake and just look at the cake, but were not gonna let that happen, are we, people . [ laughter ] they want to take our guns, our twitter, and our cake. [ laughter ] both the dessert and the band. We love the band cake, dont we, folks . [ laughter ] we love. hes going the distance hes going for speed, and she, shes all alone, all alone in her time of need. referencing cake and the honeymooners in the same closer look, its risky. [ laughter ] neither is particularly fresh. [ laughter ] so, the two leading contenders for the gop nomination in 2024 have sparked lawsuits and criminal investigations, and seem to be trying to oneup each other in their corruption and cruelty. But so far, trump is way ahead of desantis when it comes to crime. I dont know if trump is going to end up in jail, but if he does, i bet theyll try to break him out by smuggling a nail file inside a cake. [ laughter ] seth this has been a closer look.

[ laughter ] seth please welcome back to the show, our very good friend, the one, the only Billy Eichner, everybody. [ cheers and applause seth billy, welcome back whats up, new york [ cheers and applause hi seth what an exciting time to be sitting here next to you you cowrote this film yeah. Seth you star in this film yeah. Seth and this is a romcom where, you know, the leads are two gay men. Uhhuh. Seth give us a little synopsis for anybody who might not know bros is the first gay romcom ever released by a major studio [ cheers and applause yeah, and its also produced by judd apatow and cowritten with nick stoller. Those guys have made some of the funniest movies ever bridesmaids, and 40yearold virgin, and knocked up, and train wreck and forgetting sarah marshall. But, this is the first time theyve ever made a movie like that but about a gay couple. [ cheers and applause yeah and it is long overdue, but im so excited about it. And its basically about, i play bobby leiber, whos a podcaster at the beginning of the movie. And then gets a job working on the board of what will be the first lgbtq History Museum in new york city. Which leads to a lot of infighting among various members of my community. [ laughter ] and then bobbys a guy who prides himself on not needing anyone not wanting to be in a romantic relationship and then he means aaron who he was texting with, played by the wonderful Luke Macfarlane who is so good in the movie seth hes fantastic in the film and theyre both guys theyve have been out their whole lives. Theyre very sexually active but both of them it is almost like theyre in a competition to see who can be more emotionally unavailable. [ laughter ] right. But they fall for each other they fall in love unexpectedly and we watch these two guys who really pride themselves on not needing love fall in love and what happens when they have to let their guard down seth you know, i was telling you backstage it works so wonderfully as a super funny romcom. Yeah, thank you seth like, it has all of the classic elements you love. And then, every now and then, theres moments where you remember that its also historic in the fact that its covering something thats never been covered. Youve been doing screenings all over the country yeah. Seth you went to tiff. At the screenings do you feel the audience is having that reaction as well it must be so important to people its yeah, yeah. Tiff is the Toronto International film festival, which usually doesnt take romantic comedies like this, you know seth yeah. That was amazing. And whats also incredible is that, you know, nick and i, you dont sit down to write a historic scene seth sure. You dont sit down to write a gay movie. We just wanted to make a hilarious movie. And think what weve forgotten partially because of covid its just, we dont get many comedies like this in a Movie Theater anymore, you know . I dont know why i grew up loving when harry met sally, and moonstruck, and sleepless in seattle and youve got mail and, you know, all of these great movies. And i think people have forgotten how much fun it is to sit in a Movie Theater with hundreds of other people and laugh together you know, it really is its a feelgood movie and thats such a joyful experience and im so glad bros will give that to people again seth and having written it, i assume you pulled a lot from your own personal experiences. What were things from your own life that were important for you to get into the script oh, god i mean, all of that passive aggressive stuff over texting. [ laughter ] you know, i mean, this is what i mean like, weve had audiences who are mostly straight watch the movie. Weve had audiences that are more lgbtq, but these are things that anyone whos ever been single in the past 15 years can relate to. Seth yeah. You know, because dating apps and texting and sexting is driving everyone crazy because its allowed everyone to be passive aggressive and noncommittal and its driven me insane many times with guys like the one that luke plays in the movie seth but this is this true, that youve got youve been kicked off of tinder twice . [ laughter ] yes, seth, i have i not only im not only the maker of the first gay rom com from a major studio, ive also been kicked off of tinder twice. [ laughter ] yeah seth which is hard to do theyre pretty forgiving [ applause ] let me explain why. I didnt do anything wrong you know, im like everyone else im just trying to be a normal person, like meeting people. So i join tinder, but then people recognize me, they dont think its me. They think its someone pretending to be me, right so, they report my account and tinder thought they were doing the right thing and they booted me twice. And then i complained about it, and then they sent me a care package. [ laughter ] imagine how depressing it is when youre a 44yearold single man getting a care package from tinder seth yeah. That had literally a tee shirt that said worlds greatest single. [ laughter ] there was like a mug that was like single, but loving it. [ laughter ] and, by the way, you know, shout out to tinder. The thought was very nice, but it was honestly the most depressing gift i have ever received [ laughter ] and bros very much draws on experiences like that. Seth i have a lot more to ask you. We will be right back with more from Billy Eichner after this. [ cheers and applause well, im not 100 sold yet. Okay, have you considered its fine, flo. Shes not interested.

And its you know, for years ive been running around shouting about actors and movie stars and their movies this is the first time i get to shout about my own movie seth yeah, there you go. Its about time. [ cheers and applause yes seth you got to shoot the film in new york, and obviously having done billy on the street with you as well, thats a lot of running through the streets of new york. It is not a controlled set no. Seth its very you just catch what you can youve done it, yeah. Seth was it nice to, one, shoot in a city youre comfortable with and, two, sort of on controlled sets where you yes, i love billy on the street, but its nice to also work with actors whove had, like, scripted lines to say. Seth yeah. You know. But yeah, i mean, it was written not to get too sentimental about it but you know i grew up loving those romantic comedies, you know, that i mentioned like when harry met sally and all of those movies. And it always, you know, features like, you know, a couple Walking Around central park and making witty banter and me and luke were doing that and shooting here on the upper west side. And i did take a moment to think to myself, you know, wow, this is amazing, im doing one of those movies that i love, but its about someone like me it is about a gay male couple at the center of it and its real and its honest. And its funny i hope, and that, im very grateful for that [ cheers and applause seth amazing another thing im assuming and let me just say one more thing. Seth please. Because people you know, people dont respect romantic comedies, right . And those are the movies that i love, you know and theyre not taken seriously. But the truth is, you know, im a gay man. Broke Back Mountain is a great movie. I have seen it once. Pretty woman ive seen 50 times so, lets support romantic comedies because we secretly all love them. Seth well, you know what i will tell you . [ cheers and applause yes seth every time im on a plane and i choose the movie that everybody is the important movie everybody has told me i had to see if someone in a row ahead is watching a romantic comedy, i realize i just watch that without sound. Yes right, yeah, yeah. Seth cause youre eyes are like, oh, i remember that. Yeah, exactly youre like youre watching my best friends wedding through like a small little like between seats seth and why am i fighting it why am i not just getting it on my screen. This is pretty cool. Mariah carey hosted one of your first screenings of the film yes, she did. Not only that. On her own volition she had a bros dress made with the logo of bros. Mariah has a song in the movie seth which, again, amazing yeah, it is incredible. I had to like get in touch with her to get permission to use it. Its in the scene where my Love Interest and i meet. And mariah comes up a few times during the movie because of that and then she said, no. And we sent her the movie and she loved it she hosted a screening and made this dress seth yeah. I mean i literally, no joke, in like what was it, 1992, 1993, had my first kiss with a girl which shows you how long ago it was. [ laughter ] but i had my first kiss with a girl listening to a mariah carey song seth well, there you go. Full circle. Yeah. Seth some pretty fu he end of the there sure are, s who talking about . Setell, i donnow. Eah. [ laer ] eth i cool. Its just li cool thin stick around to the end. Yeah,ctly dont want to give anything away seth yeah, just might be kind of cool to watch. Yeah, exactly, yes. Some of your favorite late night stars from nbc might be featured at the end of the movie. Seth yeah, maybe they might, i dont know who knows seth just go [ laughter ] yeah.
