Seth Meyers disappointed fans on Monday night, when the anti-Trump host attended the Met Gala sponsored by Trump’s billionaire friend Jeff Bezos—and then dodged questions about it.
At the event’s red carpet, Variety asked Meyers why he thought it was still “important” to attend, despite the controversy surrounding its benefactors. Meyers deflected, opting to make a joke about the spider-shaped brooches he was wearing instead: “Well, I—you know, when you have spider brooches, where else in the city are you going to wear ‘em on a night like tonight? And so, uh, ultimately, I let them make the choice.”
The non-answer drew Meyers a roasting by Redditors, who called Meyers a “Temu Jimmy Kimmel”—effectively the cheaper version of the real thing.
