Mr. Take 'A Closer Look.'

Late Night host Seth Meyers thought the media's applause of President Trump's tone while addressing Congress needed "A Closer Look."

"It was a restrained performance, which means once again, the media salivated over the possibility of a more presidential Trump," Meyers said Wednesday before pointing out inconsequential analysis that included commentary on House Speaker Paul Ryan's water intake and POTUS practicing his speech.

"They're talking like they're watching a gorilla at the zoo," Meyers said prior to chastising the media for being "obsessed over their favorite topic, his tone."

In a clip, Fox News' Chris Wallace said, "I feel like tonight Donald Trump became the President of the United States," which Meyers seemed to wholeheartedly disagree with. "Although, I bet there are some Muslims and undocumented immigrants that would tell you he became president back in (expletive) January," the talk show host clapped back.

''Guys, seriously, do you have amnesia? We have been here many times before, for like a year and a half now," Meyers said as an introduction to a montage of media personalities talking about Trump's "more presidential" tone last April.

"And maybe Lucy (from Peanuts) really will let me kick the football this time," a skeptical Meyers joked.

Before the segment's close, Meyer's warned viewers of Trump's "empty solutions to nonexistent problems."

"Let's not get fooled again," he advised.
