The Late Night With Seth Meyers show took a deep dive when President Joe Biden stepped into the spotlight. Biden was hoping to win over more folks in his battle against potential Republican opponent Donald Trump, but his appearance fell flatter than a pancake. Nielsen Media Research’s findings revealed that the interview only attracted about 852,000 viewers, with a measly 181,000 in the crucial 25-54 age range. That’s a 32% drop from the previous year’s numbers, yikes!

Sadly, Meyers’s show has been struggling to keep up in the ratings department, and the shift away from cable TV certainly hasn’t helped. It seems like more and more people are tuning out of his program.
Instead of facing real questions from journalists, Biden has been trying to woo voters by chatting it up with entertainers and comedians. Some folks are convinced that this strategy is just a sneaky way for him to dodge tough questions about the problems bubbling up in his administration. Let’s face it, entertainers aren’t exactly known for grilling politicians about sticky situations.
Not to mention, there’s a whiff of suspicion that Biden’s appearance on the show was all part of a calculated move to smooth over the squabbles within the Democratic Party, especially when it comes to the situation in Gaza. It’s like they’re trying to distract folks from the nitty-gritty by putting on a big show. Sounds fishy, doesn’t it?
