“Is Trump writing your headlines now?” asked the host of NBC’s “Late Night.” “The only thing missing from that were the typos. You’re supposed to be the paper of record, not the paper of record scratches.”

“We love you, we depend on you and that’s why we need you to do better,” Meyers later added.
