Seth Meyers took a closer look at Night 2 of the Democratic National Convention, the screams that took place during it, and Donald Trump's attempt to reach out to supporters of Bernie Sanders who feel spurned.

He first focused his attention on Howard Dean, the former Democratic National Committee chairman and onetime presidential candidate, who during his speech mocked the shouting that led to his downfall as a candidate. That was nothing compared to the howl let out by Meryl Streep later in the evening, which gave Meyers a great idea for Hollywood's next blockbuster: "Look for Meryl starring in The Howard Dean Story. There is no part she cannot play."
