Seth Meyers has a segment called "Ya Burnt," in which he makes fun of various things, and on Thursday night's Late Show he brought on a special guest, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), to play a special edition of "Ya Bernt." The first group to feel the Bern was the 1 percent. "What do you need all that money for?" he asked. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to compensate for something." He added that their low tax rates make "less sense than the plot of Batman v Superman." He went on to make a VH1 Behind the Music joke about Goldman Sachs and a Tintin joke about Meyers' hair. You can watch below. Peter Weber
