Seth Meyers admits Trump has "helped" his show, while a Hillary Clinton presidency wouldn't have given as much material

Variety

In a Variety profile, the Late Night host talks about wanting to book Rihanna (“I really want to have Rihanna on my show") and how the  Trump presidency has affected his comedy output. “I think Donald Trump running for president changed the show, because it helped us,” he says. “If, all of a sudden, we just woke up one morning and Trump was president, I don’t think we would’ve been ready for it. But because his campaign was a perfect reflection of what his presidency was going to be, we had gotten in shape.” He considers the alternative, adding: “Like, no matter what your politics are, I don’t think that Hillary Clinton would’ve given us this much to go through every day.”
