  "account": "Seth Meyers returned to \"Late Night\" after a lengthy absence and immediately engaged in a rapid review of the headlines he missed during his time away. To ensure he wasn't being overly negative, he created a 2-minute supercut of other news reporters' coverage, highlighting the serious issues facing the country. Beginning his \"A Closer Look\" segment, Meyers joked that \"nothing happened\" while he was gone, but quickly realized that this was far from the truth. He then proceeded to summarize the various challenges, including soaring diesel prices, the emergence of a Great Fuel Crisis, rising Medicare premiums, Iranian attacks on U.S. structures, escalating trade tensions with Canada, and potential toilet paper shortages. As the supercut concluded, Meyers expressed his surprise at feeling optimistic despite the grim news, attributing his good mood to recently purchasing a roll of Canadian toilet paper. Ultimately, Meyers admitted to having numerous questions, particularly about President Trump's remarks suggesting he could have banned fishing but chose not to.",
