Overview
- Kelly used her May 21 SiriusXM program to condemn a Tonight Show musical sketch that mocked Donald J. Trump’s IRS settlement and Justice Department ties, saying she “disapprove[s] on every level.”
- She also attacked Seth Meyers with profane language, accusing him of hypocrisy after she had booked his wife on her show as a favor and saying he publicly mocked her later.
- Radio producer Stu Burguiere, a guest on Kelly’s show, echoed her criticism and called Fallon’s segment “the worst thing I’ve ever seen.”
- There were no reported on‑air responses from Fallon or Meyers in coverage of Kelly’s comments, leaving the exchange limited to Kelly’s SiriusXM broadcast and subsequent writeups.
- The episode follows Stephen Colbert’s final Late Show episodes and highlights a shifting late‑night landscape where hosts who once avoided sharp political content face fresh pressure to define their tone and audience.
