Seth Meyers dedicated a slot on Monday’s Late Night show to join the many stars of the film and TV industry in paying tribute to Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, who were found dead at their home on Sunday.
Like Jimmy Kimmel, Meyers also had a response to Donald Trump, whose post about Reiner on Truth Social has been widely criticised.
“I feared this was something he was going to do, and I was pretty certain it would cast a shadow on what was already a really dark day, but it was even worse than I could have imagined,” Meyers says in the clip above. “The president made it about himself, because he’s incapable of making it about anything else.”
Meyers finishes by talking about his own experiences with Reiner, and his love of the director’s work.
“Both his work that I was lucky enough to experience, and then the few times I got to interact with him as a person, he was a man who set an example,” Meyers says. “And there’s such a value in that. And we have to do everything we can to not make setting an example a lost art. So I just want to send my condolences to the Reiner family and just say Michele and Rob, rest in peace.”
