The Late Night host spent 21 minutes delving into the chaotic presidential election for his "A Closer Look" segment. President Trump and Fox News, he said, have been “priming their audience” with lies about voter fraud for weeks. “And now the moment is here and they’re taking the outrageous and unprecedented step of falsely declaring victory before all the votes are counted," he said, adding: “It’s an authoritarian movement intent on detonating our democracy and turning it into an autocracy with a healthy sprinkling of psychosis." Meyers specifically went after The Five's Dana Perino, who echoed Trump's conspiracy theories shortly after his middle-of-the-night "victory" speech. “You ghouls love your evidence-free musings, don’t you?” Meyers asked. “That doesn’t belong in the news. That belongs in a Pennysaver column called ‘Dana’s Digressions.’ There’s literally no proof for what you’re saying. These people are so insane they think election officials are finding ballots the way George Constanza found that eclair.”
