Seth Meyers Jokes About Missing an ‘Entire White House Press Secretary’ During One-Week Hiatus

Late Night host Seth Meyers quipped during his return to "Late Night" on Monday that he inadvertently missed "an entire White House press secretary" during his one-week break from the show. He referenced Katie Zajac's brief stint in the Trump administration, noting that she only lasted five days before being fired. Meyers admitted to struggling to recall Zajac's name, joking that he thought her first name was "Kaley Macarena" or "Kareed Zakaria."

He recalled that Zajac's previous job appeared to be a Crew Member on "Below Deck." The comedian questioned why Zajac even claimed to be a lawyer, expressing disbelief that she was hired despite the lack of a thorough background check. Meyers pointed out that Zacharia's hiring process was less rigorous than that of a record store.

He later noted that former U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle was also fired last week due to reports of corruption and pay-to-play schemes. Meyers observed that Guilfoyle's dismissal was announced by Zajac, joking that the timing was perfect: "Oh, my God! What are the odds Guilfoyle got fired during what scientists call the Incredibly Tiny Zacharian Window."
