Samuel L. Jackson had no idea he was in a feud with Donald Trump until Seth Meyers told him on Tuesday's Late Night.
"We're having beef?" a surprised Jackson asked. Meyers explained that it all started when Jackson said during an interview that he was a better golfer than Trump, and shared that the Republican presidential candidate signed him up for a golf club without his permission. Trump tweeted Tuesday that he doesn't know Jackson and "to best of my knowledge haven't played golf with him." He also said he thinks Jackson does "too many television commercials — boring."
