Seth Meyers Roasts Trump’s “Big Heart,” Sydney Sweeney’s Jeans Ad, and Breast Milk Ice Cream in Scorching Monologue

Late-night television is built on wit, satire, and the ability to turn the day’s strangest headlines into sharp comedy.

On a recent episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, host Seth Meyers delivered a blistering monologue that poked fun at President Donald Trump, his new press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Vice President J.D. Vance, and even a new breast milk–inspired ice cream flavor.

The segment, which aired to roaring laughter from the studio audience, showcased Meyers at his satirical best, weaving political absurdities, celebrity oddities, and consumer culture into one rapid-fire comedic takedown.

Trump’s Tariffs and Canadian Tuxedos

Meyers began by taking aim at Trump’s latest trade decision.

“President Trump last week raised the tariff rate on Canadian goods from 25 to 35%,” Meyers said, pausing just long enough for a perfectly timed punchline:

“I guess he can do that now that we’re making Canadian tuxedos here in the U.S.”

The joke, of course, landed—playing on the iconic denim-on-denim look that Canadians wear with pride, while ribbing Trump’s obsession with protectionist economic policies.

Sydney Sweeney, JD Vance, and Trump’s Social Media Obsession

The monologue then veered into pop culture, spotlighting actress Sydney Sweeney, who recently starred in a denim campaign for American Eagle.

Meyers noted that Vice President J.D. Vance had publicly defended Sweeney against online criticism.

Trump himself couldn’t resist chiming in, praising Sweeney on Truth Social:

“Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the hottest ad out there.

It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are flying off the shelves.

Go get ’em, Sydney.”

Meyers couldn’t resist skewering Trump’s glee:

“Oh, my God, he’s so happy there’s a current young, famous person who votes Republican.

I feel so bad for Kid Rock right now.

You know he’s getting left on read this week.”

The jab drew howls from the crowd, a reminder that Trump’s eagerness for celebrity validation is never far from late-night humor.

Karoline Leavitt Says Trump Has a “Big Heart”

But perhaps the sharpest punchline came at the expense of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who in a briefing last week described Trump as having a “big heart.”

Meyers, with impeccable timing, shot back:

“The technical term is enlarged, said his doctor.

Good news—it’s big.”

The audience erupted, laughing at both the medical quip and the not-so-subtle dig at Trump’s bravado.

Trump and Sports: A Golf Cart Reality Check

Trump has long claimed athletic prowess, and his recent reinstatement of the presidential fitness test gave Meyers the perfect setup.

During the signing ceremony, Trump reportedly said:

“I was always a person that loved playing sports.  I was good at sports.”

Meyers didn’t miss a beat:

“I don’t know. I’m gonna say it doesn’t really qualify as a sport if they give you a little car, you know, with cup holders and everything!”

The golf-cart burn was classic Meyers—short, sharp, and devastatingly funny.

Saquon Barkley Says “Not Me” to Trump’s Council

The laughs didn’t stop there.

Meyers highlighted that NFL star Saquon Barkley denied being part of Trump’s newly announced Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition—even though the White House listed him as a member.

“Be careful,” Meyers quipped.

“If you keep embarrassing the president like that, he’s gonna make you secretary of defense.”

IHOP’s Luxury Pancakes

Shifting gears to consumer news, Meyers mocked IHOP’s decision to roll out a “luxury” pancake option in Dubai.

“These will be the most expensive pancakes the restaurant has ever served,” he said before dropping the kicker:

“That’s right—these are two dollars.”

The audience roared, enjoying the contrast between “luxury” and the famously affordable breakfast chain.

Killer Fitness: Horror Meets Workouts

California’s new horror-themed gym “Killer Fitness” also made its way into the monologue.

“If you’re wondering what makes them horror-themed,” Meyers deadpanned, “they’re workout classes.”

The joke landed with a mix of groans and laughter, perfectly capturing the shared dread of exercising.

Breast Milk Ice Cream: OddFellows’ Bold Move

Perhaps the most eyebrow-raising headline of the night was Frida, a baby-care brand, teaming up with artisanal ice cream company OddFellows to launch a breast milk–inspired flavor.

The audience groaned before Meyers added the final punchline:

“So, I guess now we know why they call themselves OddFellows.

‘Hm-hm, I think you’ll find we have interesting tastes.’”

A Monologue Wrapped in Relatable Humor

After running through politics, pancakes, and peculiarly flavored ice cream, Meyers turned his attention to modern life’s constant demand for ratings and feedback.

He shared a personal anecdote about taking an Uber, signing for a package, and even napping—only to be bombarded with requests to rate each experience.

“Can I have just one single experience that I don’t have to [bleep] rate?” Meyers asked, exasperated.

The rant was met with thunderous applause, proving that even in a world of political chaos, sometimes the funniest truths are the most mundane.

Star-Studded Guest Lineup

The evening didn’t stop at the monologue.

Meyers welcomed a powerhouse lineup of guests, including Emmy Award–winning actor and comedian Bill Hader, currently preparing to play the Cat in the Hat.

Other guests included actress Brittany Snow, known for Hairspray and the Pitch Perfect films, now starring in Netflix’s The Hunting Wives.

The comedic duo Kat Sadler and Lizzie Davidson, stars of Hulu’s Such Brave Girls, also joined the show.

The Art of Political Satire

Seth Meyers has built his Late Night brand on sharp political commentary laced with absurdist humor.

By weaving together headlines about tariffs, fitness councils, and breast milk ice cream, Meyers offered his audience not only laughter but also a satirical lens through which to view the bizarre state of American politics and culture.

And while Meyers’ jokes skewered Trump, Leavitt, and even IHOP, his closing rant about ratings hit closest to home, reminding viewers that satire works best when it makes us laugh at both the powerful and ourselves.
