Seth Meyers jokes about preparing 'go bag' for Trump's re-election with $10K cash and escape 'essentials'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent episode of 'A Closer Look', Seth Meyers addressed the latest polling data showing Donald Trump ahead of President Joe Biden in a potential 2024 rematch.
However, the late-night host remained surprisingly cool about the situation, attributing it to his newfound zen attitude and a well-prepared escape plan.
Seth Meyers' hilarious 'escape plan'
NBC's poll, marking the first time Trump led in this specific survey, raised eyebrows, but Meyers urged viewers not to panic. With a characteristic nonchalance, he emphasized that the election is still a year away, and Trump has legal challenges ahead.
Meyers, known for his humorous take on political events, assured, “I’m staying calm, cool, confident, collected. That’s just the new me. The new Seth.”
“I don’t wear a suit, I don’t cut my hair, I don’t freak out about polls a full year before the election," he told the audience. What sets Meyers apart is his readiness for any scenario. The comedian revealed his secret weapon against a potential Trump victory – a meticulously planned "go bag."
A 'go bag' and $10K cash if Donald Trump wins in 2024
“The other reason I’m not worried is that, if Trump does win, I have a go bag, so I can get the f— out of here,” Meyers joked. “I got my passport, a change of clothes, $10,000 in cash and a webcam, so I can do the show from a country that won’t extradite to the US.”
Displaying a cheeky level of preparedness, Meyers quipped about leaving his go bag under the desk in the studio, ready for a swift exit at any moment. He playfully asserted his trust in his crew not to pilfer the $10,000, a sentiment that was humorously debunked as the camera hilariously panned to Wally, the cue card guy, who was caught red-handed trying to steal some stacks.
Seth Meyers takes a dig at Joe Biden's age
In the segment, Meyers playfully poked fun at President Biden's age as the leader celebrated his birthday on November 20, turning 81.
Meyers quipped, "The numbers for Joe Biden have been bad recently. For example, today was his birthday, and he turned 81, despite hopes from his inner circle that they could keep the number in the mid to low 70's."
He then mimicked Biden's voice adding, "Yeah 81? That can't be right. Let's count on my birthdays one more time. All right there was one in Scranton. There was another one in Scranton. Scranton. Scranton. This is going to be bad guys."
